Infinite Symmetry of the Spin Systems with Inverse Square Interactions
Kazuhiro Hikami, Miki Wadati
Abstract
One-dimensional quantum particle system with S U (ν) spins interacting through inverse square interactions is studied. We reveal algebraic structures of the system: hidden symmetry is the \(U(\nu )\cong SU(\nu )\otimes U(1)\) current algebra. This is consistent with the fact that the ground state wave function is a solution of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. Furthermore we show that the system has a higher symmetry, which is the w 1+∞ algebra. With this W algebra we can clarify simultaneously the structures of the Calogero type (1/ x 2 -interactions) and Sutherland type (1/sin 2 x -interactions). The Yangian symmetry is briefly discussed.
