1 A Note on Inverse-Square Exchange Models
Frank Göhmann, Miki Wadati
Abstract
The su(1|1) symmetric version of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain is diagonalized by means of a linear transformation. The same transformation applied to the original su(2) model yields simple expressions for the Hamiltonian and the generators of the Yangian symmetry of the model in terms of spin wave operators. Several years ago Haldane and Shastry independently discovered a soluble spin chain with exchange interaction falling off as the inverse square of the distance between the spins [1, 2]. This model can be thought of as the static limit [3] of the Sutherland model with internal degrees of freedom [4, 5, 6]. The idea of putting internal degrees of freedom into the Calogero-Sutherland models has proved to be very fruitful since then. A rich family of related models has been found. These long range interacting systems are under active investigation now. A common algebraic structure underlying their integrability is still waiting for its discovery. In this letter we discuss a linear transformation, that turns the su(m|n) supersymmetric extension of the original Haldane-Shastry Hamiltonian into a more compact form,
