摘要
We investigate a family of spin-S chain Hamiltonians recently introduced by one of us [Greiter, Mapping of Parent Hamiltonians, Springer Tracts in Modern Physics, Vol. 244 (Springer, Berlin, 2011)]. For S = 1/2, it corresponds to the Haldane-Shastry model. For general spin S, we find indication that the low-energy theory of these spin chains is described by the SU(2)(k) Wess-Zumino-Witten model with coupling k = 2S. In particular, we investigate the S = 1 model whose ground state is given by a Pfaffian for even number of sites N. We reconcile aspects of the spectrum of the Hamiltonian for arbitrary N with trial states obtained by Schwinger projection of two Haldane-Shastry chains.
