Renormalization group analysis of the spin-gap phase in the one-dimensional t-J model

We study the spin-gap phase in the one-dimensional t-J model, assuming that it is caused by the backward scattering process. Based on the renormalization group analysis and symmetry, we can determine the transition point between the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and the spin-gap phases, by the level crossing of the singlet and the triplet excitations. In contrast to the previous works, the obtained spin-gap region is unexpectedly large. We also check that the universality class of the transition belongs to the $k=1$ SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model.
