Some exact results for the multicomponent t−J model
Antimo Angelucci, Sandro Sorella
Abstract
We present a generalization of the Sutherland multicomponent model. Our extension includes both the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model for any value of the exchange coupling $J$ and the hopping parameter $t$. We prove rigorously that for one-dimensional chains the ground state of the generalized model is nondegenerate. As a consequence, the ordering of energy levels of the antiferromagnetic $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model is determined. Our result rigorously proves and extends the analysis carried out by Sutherland in establishing the phase diagram of the model as a function of the number of components.
