Spin excitations in a Hubbard chain
Ferenc Woynarovich
Abstract
The spin excitations of a Hubbard chain are calculated on the basis of the Lieb-Wu equations (1968). A system of equations, which contains the parameters of the excitation only, is derived. It is found that both the energy and the momentum of the spin excitations depend only on the positions of the holes in the real gamma distribution. The energy-momentum dispersion for a half-filled band is given. The structure and degeneracy of the lowest energy excitations are also discussed.
