Figure 1

Figure 1. The ground state and first excited state of the XXZ chain of length 7 with J=\frac {3}{2} , Δ = 2.5 in the sector M = –3/2.



Figure 2

Figure 2. The low-lying spectrum of the XXZ model for J=\frac {3}{2} and J = 2 for various sectors. Note the twofold degeneracy for spin 2 in the sector M = 0 corresponding to E+(0, 1) = E(0, 1). The shaded region contains those eigenvalues which converge to continuous spectrum in the thermodynamic limit. We note that, for Δ = 1, the gap vanishes in the thermodynamics limit.

Figure 3. The two kinds of low-lying Ising excitations. The left picture belongs to the set K+(m) and the right to the set K(m).
