Abstract: We present rigorous upper and lower bounds on the emptiness formation probability for the ground state of a spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg XXZ quantum spin system. For a $d$-dimensional system we find a rate of decay of the order $exp(-c{L}^{d+1})$ where $L$ is the sidelength of the box in which we ask for the emptiness formation event to occur. In the $d=1$ case this confirms previous predictions made in the integrable systems community, though our bounds do not achieve the precision predicted by Bethe ansatz calculations. On the other hand, our bounds in the case $dgeq2$ are new. The main tools we use are reflection positivity and a rigorous path integral expansion which is a variation on those previously introduced by Toth, Aizenman-Nachtergaele and Ueltschi.

Review text

The authors present rigorous upper and lower bounds on the emptiness formation probability for the ground state of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ quantum spin system. This is the probability, in the ground state of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet, to find a block of spins ferromagnetically aligned. It is a measure of the quantum nature of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet that this probability is not exactly zero, even in the ground state. For a \(d\)-dimensional system the authors find a rate of decay of the order \(\exp(-cL^{d+1})\) where \(L\) is the sidelength of the box in which the emptiness formation event is occurred.
