Precursors of phase transitions in quantum systems
Dvořák, Martin ; Cejnar, Pavel (advisor) ; Novotný, Jiří (referee)
In this diploma thesis precursors of quantum phase transitions in finite many-body systems are studied. The main attention is paid to the mechanism, how nonanalytic behaviour of the ground state is generated for certain critical values of real control parameters. It is shown that nonanalytic behaviour of energy levels and eigenstates is closely connected with exceptional points of the hamiltonian, which are points in control parameter space extended into a complex domain where at least two eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors coincide. Differences in the distribution of exceptional points in the complex plane of control parameter for the first and second order phase transitions and also evolutions of the position of exceptional points with increasing particle number are discussed.
