Abstract
The algebriaic dynamics is applied to investigate the geometric phase of a Heisenberg-chain in a rotating magnetic field.It is a su(2) algebraically symmetric 3-spin12 system with partially anisotropic coupling.The exact analytical solution of the time dependent Schrdinger equation and the geometric phases of this system are obtained in terms of gauge transformation and algebriaic dynamics.The partially anisotropic coupling is then extended to a more general coupling and the adiabatic geometric phases of the extended system are calculated.We find that the coupling strengths have no impact on the adiabatic geometric phases of the system.
