Abstract

Several recent experiments in atomic, molecular and optical systems motivated a huge interest in the study of quantum long-range %spin systems. Our goal in this paper is to present a general description of their critical behavior and phases, devising a treatment valid in dimensions, with an exponent for the power-law decay of the couplings in the presence of an symmetry. By introducing a convenient ansatz for the effective action, we determine the phase diagram for the -component quantum rotor model with long-range interactions, with corresponding to the Ising model. The phase diagram in the plane shows a non trivial dependence on . As a consequence of the fact that the model is quantum, the correlation functions are anisotropic in the spatial and time coordinates for smaller than a critical value and in this region the isotropy is not restored even at criticality. Results for the correlation length exponent , the dynamical critical exponent and a comparison with numerical findings for them are presented.
