Summary
The paper discusses a novel approach to studying supersymmetric quantum mechanics on coadjoint orbits, focusing on finite-dimensional truncations of 1D sigma models, dubbed "spin chains." These models exhibit a remarkable property where their spectra are nested, allowing for the recovery of the full Hilbert space and Laplacian spectrum in the limit of infinite spin.
Highlights
- Introduces a novel approach to studying supersymmetric quantum mechanics on coadjoint orbits.
- Discusses finite-dimensional truncations of 1D sigma models, referred to as "spin chains."
- Shows that the spectra of these models are nested, with the spectrum of one model contained within the spectrum of another with a higher spin.
- Demonstrates that the full Hilbert space and Laplacian spectrum can be recovered in the limit of infinite spin.
- Calculates the Witten index for these models, showing its independence from the truncation parameter.
- Finds that the Witten index reproduces the index of the twisted Dolbeault and de Rham operators on SUpnq coadjoint orbits.
- Generalizes the results to complete and partial flag manifolds.
Key Insights
- The use of finite-dimensional truncations, or "spin chains," provides a novel approach to studying supersymmetric quantum mechanics on coadjoint orbits, allowing for the recovery of the full Hilbert space and Laplacian spectrum in the limit of infinite spin.
- The spectra of these models exhibit a nested property, with the spectrum of one model contained within the spectrum of another with a higher spin, providing a method for inferring a subset of eigenvalues of the Laplacian.
- The Witten index for these models is independent of the truncation parameter and reproduces the index of the twisted Dolbeault and de Rham operators on SUpnq coadjoint orbits, demonstrating a connection between the finite-dimensional models and the infinite-dimensional sigma models.
- The results can be generalized to complete and partial flag manifolds, providing a broader understanding of supersymmetric quantum mechanics on these spaces.
- The approach has potential applications in the study of integrable systems and the development of new supersymmetric models.
- The use of supersymmetric localization techniques may provide further insights into the properties of these models and their connections to the underlying geometry.
- The relationship between the finite-dimensional models and the infinite-dimensional sigma models may have implications for our understanding of the holographic principle and its applications in condensed matter physics.
