Quantum Particle on Dual Weight Lattice in Even Weyl Alcove

Abstract

AbstractEven subgroups of affine Weyl groups corresponding to irreducible crystallographic root systems characterize families of single-particle quantum systems. Induced by primary and secondary sign homomorphisms of the Weyl groups, free propagations of the quantum particle on the refined dual weight lattices inside the rescaled even Weyl alcoves are determined by Hamiltonians of tight-binding types. Described by even hopping functions, amplitudes of the particle’s jumps to the lattice neighbours are together with diverse boundary conditions incorporated through even hopping operators into the resulting even dual-weight Hamiltonians. Expressing the eigenenergies via weighted sums of the even Weyl orbit functions, the associated time-independent Schrödinger equations are exactly solved by applying the discrete even Fourier–Weyl transforms. Matrices of the even Hamiltonians together with specifications of the complementary boundary conditions are detailed for the C2 and G2 even dual-weight models.
