Free-fermion branches in some quantum spin models

Abstract: Extensive numerical analysis of the eigenspectra of the SU q ( N ) invariant Perk–Schultz Hamiltonian shows some simple regularities for a significant part of the eigenspectrum. Inspired by those results we have found two sets of solutions of the associated nested Bethe ansatz equations. The first set is obtained at a special value of the anisotropy ( q = exp(iπ( N − 1)/ N )) and describes, in particular, the ground state and nearby excitations as a sum of free-fermion quasienergies. The second set of solutions provides the energies in the sectors whose number n i of particles of distinct species ( i = 0, ..., N − 1) are less than or equal to unity except for one of the species. For this last set we obtain the eigenspectra of a free-fermion model for arbitrary values of the anisotropy.
