Duality and ground-state phase diagram for the quantum XYZ model with arbitrary spin s in one spatial dimension

Abstract

Five duality transformations are unveiled for the quantum XYZ model with arbitrary spin s in one spatial dimension. The presence of these duality transformations drastically reduces the entire ground-state phase diagram to two finite regimes - the principal regimes, with all the other ten regimes dual to them. Combining with the determination of critical points from the conventional order parameter approach and/or the fidelity approach to quantum phase transitions, we are able to map out the ground-state phase diagram for the quantum XYZ model with arbitrary spin s. This is explicitly demonstrated for s=1/2,1,3/2 and 2. As it turns out, all the critical points, with central charge c=1, are self-dual under a respective duality transformation for half-integer as well as integer spin s. However, in the latter case, the presence of the so-called symmetry protected topological phase, i.e., the Haldane phase, results in extra lines of critical points with central charge c=1/2, which is not self-dual under any duality transformation.
