AbstractWe consider quantum spins with $$S\ge 1$$ S ≥ 1 , and two-body interactions with $$O(2S+1)$$ O ( 2 S + 1 ) symmetry. We discuss the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional system. We give a rigorous proof of dimerization for an open region of the phase diagram, for S sufficiently large. We also prove the existence of a gap for excitations.

We characterize a class of quantum Markov states in terms of a locality property of their modular automorphism group or, equivalently, of their φ-conditional expectations and we give an explicit description of the structure of these states. This study is meant as a starting point for the investigation of the structure of Markovian KMS-states of quantum spin chains as well as of multidimensional quantum spin lattices.

We quantize the system of a damped harmonic oscillator coupled to its time-reversed image, known as Bateman's dual system. By using the Feynman–Hibbs method, the time-dependent quantum states of such a system are constructed entirely in the framework of the classical theory. The geometric phase is calculated and found to be proportional to the ground-state energy of the one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator to which the two-dimensional system reduces under appropriate constraint.

We introduce variants of the Ma-Dasgupta renormalization-group (RG) approach for random quantum spin chains, in which the energy-scale is reduced by decimation built on either perturbative or non-perturbative principles. In one non-perturbative version of the method, we require the exact invariance of the lowest gaps, while in a second class of perturbative Ma-Dasgupta techniques, different decimation rules are utilized. For the S = 1 random antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain, both type of methods provide the same type of disorder dependent phase diagram, which is in agreement with density-matrix renormalization-group calculations and previous studies.
