XXZ Model and the Structure of the Symmetric Algebra
Ma Z, Baolin Hou
Abstract
In this paper, an XXZ model of the Heisenberg spin chain with the symmetry of the quantum SL_q(2) enveloping algebra is discussed. In terms of the structure of the Temperley-Lieb algebra, in this model we analyse the finite-dimensional representations of the quantum SL_q(2) with q~p=±1 in some detail, including the condition of appearance of the reducible but indecomposable representations (type Ⅰ representation), their properties, and the completeset of the states related to a definite energy where the new states are obtained by an appropriare limit process.
