Lattice fermion models with supersymmetry

We investigate a family of lattice models with manifest {\cal N} = 2 supersymmetry. The models describe fermions on a 1D lattice, subject to the constraint that no more than k consecutive lattice sites may be occupied. We discuss the special properties arising from the supersymmetry, and present Bethe ansatz solutions of the simplest models. We display the connections of the k = 1 model with the spin-\frac{1}{2} antiferromagnetic XXZ chain at Δ = −1/2, and the k = 2 model with both the su(2|1)-symmetric tJ model in the ferromagnetic regime and the integrable spin-1 XXZ chain at \Delta=-1/\sqrt{2} . We argue that these models include critical points described by the superconformal minimal models.
