Functional Schrödinger Representations of Holstein-Primakoff Boson and Slave-Boson Theories for Heisenberg Antiferromagnets

Abstract

We present functional Schrödinger representations of Holstein-Primakoff boson and slave-boson theories for the Heisenberg Hamiltonian and the $t-J$ Hamiltonian respectively. Based on these representations we obtain the dispersion relations of magnons for two dimensional antiferromagnets. By applying the functional Schrödinger representation of the Holstein-Primakoff boson theory to the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, the exchange energy is correctly predicted and the self-energy of quasi-hole is obtained. From the use of the functional Schrödinger representation of the $t-J$ Hamiltonian it is shown that at half-filling the dispersion relation obtained from the slave-boson theory leads to that obtained from the Holstein-Primakoff boson approach.
