Exactly Solvable SU(M) Spin Chain with Long-Range Interactions*

Abstract
We present an exactly solvable quantum SU( M ) ( M : arbitrary integer ≥2) spin chain with long-range ( ∼ inverse-square) interactions. The model generalizes the so-called Haldane-Shastry system which corresponds to M =2. We find the Lax pair for the system which guarantees the integrability of the system. An exact many-body ground-state wave function with particular symmetry is explicitly constructed.
