Integrable su(3) spin chain combining different representations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The general expression for the local matrix t(heta) of a quantum chain with the site space in any representation of su(3) is obtained. This is made by generalizing t(heta) from the fundamental representation and imposing the fulfillment of the Yang-Baxter equation. Then, a non-homogeneous spin chain combining different representations of su(3) is solved by developing a method inspired in the nested Bethe ansatz. The solution for the eigenvalues of the trace of the monodromy matrix is given as two coupled Bethe equations. A conjecture about the solution of a chain with the site states in different representations of su(n) is presented. The thermodynamic limit of the ground state is calculated.
