Haldane Gapped Spin Chains: Exact Low Temperature Expansions of Correlation Functions

Abstract

We study both the static and dynamic properties of gapped, one-dimensional, Heisenberg, anti-ferromagnetic, spin chains at finite temperature through an analysis of the O(3) non-linear sigma model. Exploiting the integrability of this theory, we are able to compute an exact low temperature expansion of the finite temperature correlators. We do so using a truncated `form-factor' expansion and so provide evidence that this technique can be successfully extended to finite temperature. As a direct test, we compute the static zero-field susceptibility and obtain an exact match to the susceptibility derived from the low temperature expansion of the exact free energy. We also study transport properties, computing both the spin conductance and the NMR-relaxation rate, 1/T_1. We find these quantities to show ballistic behaviour. In particular, the computed spin conductance exhibits a non-zero Drude weight at finite temperature and zero applied field. The physics thus described differs from the spin diffusion reported by Takigawa et al. from experiments on the Haldane gap material, AgVP_2S_6.
