Sign structure and generalized Marshall theorem for the spin-S t-J chain

Considers a class of t-J model on a bipartite lattice characterised by negative hopping matrix elements within the same sublattice. When there are one or two (one in each sublattice) holes, the author extends the theorems by Marshall (1955) and by Lieb and Mattis (1962) which determines the basic structure of the ground state. When the two sublattices contain the same number of electrons, the ground state is unique, is spin singlet, and satisfies the Marshall sign rule.

Sign structure and ground-state properties for a spin−S t−J chain

Qing-Rui Wang, Peng Ye

The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain of odd spin $S$ is in the Haldane phase with several defining physical properties, such as thermodynamical ground-state degeneracy, symmetry-protected edge states, and nonzero string order parameter. If nonzero hole concentration $\ensuremath{\delta}$ and hole hopping energy $t$ are considered, the spin chain is replaced by a $\text{spin}\ensuremath{-}S$ $t\ensuremath{-}J$ chain. The motivation of this paper is to generalize the discussions of the Haldane phase to the doped spin chain. The first result of this paper is that, for the model considered here, the ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ sign structure in the usual Ising basis can be totally removed by two consecutive unitary transformations consisting of a spatially local one and a nonlocal one. Direct from the sign structure, the second result of this paper is that the Marshall theorem and the Lieb-Mattis theorem for pure spin systems are generalized to the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ chain for arbitrary $S$ and $\ensuremath{\delta}$. A corollary of the theorem provides us with the ground-state degeneracy in the thermodynamic limit. The third result of this paper is about the phase diagram. We show that the defining properties of the Haldane phase survive in the small $t/J$ limit. The large $t/J$ phase supports a gapped spin sector with similar properties (ground-state degeneracy, edge state, and string order parameter) of the Haldane chain, although the charge sector is gapless.The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain of odd spin $S$ is in the Haldane phase with several defining physical properties, such as thermodynamical ground-state degeneracy, symmetry-protected edge states, and nonzero string order parameter.
