Exact trimer ground states on a spin-1 chain

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We construct a new spin-1 model on a chain. Its ground state is determined exactly which is three-fold degenerate by breaking translational invariance. Thus we have trimerization. Excited states cannot be obtained exactly, but we determine a few low-lying ones by using trial states, among them solitons.
