Soluble `Supersymmetric' Quantum XY Model

Abstract

We present a `supersymmetric' modification of the $d$-dimensional quantum rotor model whose ground state is exactly soluble. The model undergoes a vortex-binding transition from insulator to metal as the rotor coupling is varied. The Hamiltonian contains three-site terms which are relevant: they change the universality class of the transition from that of the ($d+1$)--- to the $d$-dimensional classical XY model. The metallic phase has algebraic ODLRO but the superfluid density is identically zero. Variational wave functions for single-particle and collective excitations are presented.
