Temperley Lieb Words As Valence Bond Ground States

Peter F. Arndt, Thomas Heinzel and C.M. Yung

Abstract: Based on the Temperley-Lieb algebra we define a class of one-dimensional Hamiltonians with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions. Using the regular representation we give ground states of this model as words of the algebra. Two point correlation functions can be computed employing the Temperley-Lieb relations. Choosing a spin-½ representation of the algebra we obtain a generalization of the (q-deformed) Majumdar-Ghosh model. The ground states become valence-bond states.
