The dynamics-from-permutations of classical Ising spins are studied for a chain of four spins. We obtain the Hamiltonian operator which is equivalent to the unitary permutation matrix that encodes assumed pairwise exchange interactions. It is shown how this can be summarized by an exact terminating Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula, which relates the Hamiltonian to a product of exponentiated two-spin exchange permutations. We briefly comment upon physical motivation and implications of this study.
We propose a class of projected BCS wave functions and derive their parent spin Hamiltonians. These wave functions can be formulated as infinite matrix product states constructed by chiral correlators of Majorana fermions. In one dimension, the spin Hamiltonians can be viewed as SO(
n) generalizations of Haldane-Shastry models. We numerically compute the spin-spin correlation functions and R\'enyi entropies for
n=5 and 6. Together with the results for
n=3 and 4, we conclude that these states are critical and their low-energy effective theory is the SO(
n)
1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model. In two dimensions, we show that the projected BCS states are chiral spin liquids, which support non-Abelian anyons for odd
n and Abelian anyons for even
n.
