Spin correlation and Discrete symmetry in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates

arXiv:cond-mat/0102372 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.87.080401

Abstract

We study spin correlations in Bose-Einstein condensates of spin 1 bosons with scatterings dominated by a total spin equal 2 channel. We show the low energy spin dynamics in the system can be mapped into an nonlinear sigma model(NLM). at the zero magnetic field limit and in the presence of weak magnetic fields. In an ordered phase, the ground state has a hidden symmetry and is degenerate under the group . We explore consequences of the hidden symmetry and propose some measurements to probe it.
