For any of these theories, majorization is proven to hold in the spectrum of the reduced density matrices in a bipartite system when changing the size L of one of the subsystems. Continuous majorization along uniparametric flows is also proven as long as part of the conformal structure is preserved under the deformation and some monotonicity conditions hold as well. As particular examples of our derivations, we study the cases of the XX, Heisenberg and XY quantum spin chains. Our results provide in a rigorous way explicit proves for all the majorization conjectures raised by Latorre, Lutken, Rico, Vidal and Kitaev in previous papers on quantum spin chains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-12-15T11:04:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.-a", "03.65.Ud", "03.67.Hk" ], "keywords": [ "quantum systems", "xy quantum spin chains", "conformal field theories", "monotonicity conditions hold", "renormalization group flows" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
