Exact mean-field solution of a spin chain with short-range and long-range interactions
arXiv:2209.08756 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhys.14.5.133
Abstract
We consider the transverse field Ising model with additional all-to-all interactions between the spins. We show that a mean-field treatment of this model becomes exact in the thermodynamic limit, despite the presence of 1D short-range interactions. This is established by looking for eigenstates as coherent states with an amplitude that varies through the Hilbert space. We study then the thermodynamics of the model and identify the different phases. Among its peculiar features, this 1D model possesses a second-order phase transition at finite temperature and exhibits inverse melting.
