A new integrable spin chain of the Haldane-Shastry type is introduced. It is interpreted as the inverse-square interacting spin chain with a reflecting end. The lattice points of this model consist of the square of the zeros of the Laguerre polynomial. Using the “exchange operator formalism”, the integrals of motion for the model are explicitly constructed. Typeset using REVTEX ∗E-mail address ...

In this paper we study symmetry reductions of a class of nonlinear fourth order partial differential equations utt = ( κu+ γu ) xx + uuxxxx + μuxxtt + αuxuxxx + βu 2 xx , (1) where α, β, γ, κ and μ are arbitrary constants. This equation may be thought of as a fourth order analogue of a generalization of the Camassa-Holm equation, about which there has been considerable recent interest. Further ...

Abstract The photoproduction processes of the exotic Θ+(1540) baryon and the K∗ meson from the nucleon targets, i.e., γn → K∗−Θ+ and γp → K̄∗0Θ+, are investigated in a hadronic model. We consider K and K∗ exchanges as well as the s and u channel terms. Various spin asymmetries together with cross sections are estimated in order to study the production mechanisms and the parity of the Θ+(1540) ba...

A general method is proposed for constructing the Bethe ansatz equations of integrable models without U(1) symmetry. As an example, the exact spectrum of the XXZ spin ring with a Möbius-like topological boundary condition is derived by constructing a modified T-Q relation based on the functional connection between the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and the quantum determinant of the monodro...

We present a scheme of surface-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance in optically pumped semiconductors, where an NMR signal from a part of the surface of a bulk compound semiconductor is detected apart from the bulk signal. It utilizes optically oriented nuclei with a long spin-lattice relaxation time as a polarization reservoir for the second (target) nuclei to be detected. It provides a basis...

Thermal rectification is the phenomenon by which the flux of heat depends on the direction of the flow. It has attracted much interest in recent years due to the possibility of devising thermal diodes. In this paper, we consider the rectification phenomenon in the quantum XXZ chain subject to an inhomogeneous field. The chain is driven out of equilibrium by the contact at its boundaries with tw...

We consider the Heisenberg spin chain in the presence of integrable spin defects. Using the Bethe ansatz methodology, we extract the associated transmission amplitudes, that describe the interaction between the particle-like excitations displayed by the models and the spin impurity. In the attractive regime of the XXZ model, we also derive the breather’s transmission amplitude. We compare our f...

In quantum theory Hamilton operators with spininteractions have a long history [1 – 5]. Triple spin interaction have been studied by several authors [6 – 19]. Iglói [6] investigated an Ising model with three-spin interaction by finite-size scaling and applying free boundary conditions. Vanderzande and Iglói [7] studied the critical behaviour and logarithmic corrections of a quantum model with t...

We study the strongly coupled 2-flavor lattice Schwinger model and the SU(2)-color QCD2. The strong coupling limit, even with its inherent nonuniversality, makes accurate predictions of the spectrum of the continuum models and provides an intuitive picture of the gauge theory vacuum. The massive excitations of the gauge model are computable in terms of spin-spin correlators of the quantum Heise...
