Non-Landau quantum phase transition in modulated SU( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> ) Heisenberg spin chains
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate the nature of the quantum phase transition in modulated $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Heisenberg spin chains. In the odd-$N$ case, the transition separates a trivial nondegenerate phase to a doubly degenerate gapped chiral $\mathrm{PSU}(N)$ symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase which breaks spontaneously the inversion symmetry. The transition is not an Ising transition associated to the breaking of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ inversion symmetry, but is governed by the delocalization of the edge states of the SPT phase. In this respect, a modulated $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Heisenberg spin chain provides a simple example in one dimension of a non-Landau phase transition which is described by the $\mathrm{SU}{(N)}_{1}$ conformal field theory. We show that the chiral SPT phase exhibits fractionalized spinon excitations, which can be confined by slightly changing the model parameters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
