Quantum many-body systems with nearest and next-to-nearest neighbor long-range interactions

Abstract

The bound and scattering states of the many-body systems, related to the short-range Dyson model, are studied. The Hamiltonian for the full-line problem is connected to decoupled oscillators. The analytically obtainable eigenstates are smaller in number as compared to the Calogero-Sutherland family, indicating the quasiexactly solvable nature of these models. The exactly found scattering states, a smaller set as compared to the Calogero case, can be realized as coherent states. The relation of the scattering Hamiltonian to free particles is also established algebraically. We analyze both A_N-1 and BC_N models on a circle and construct a part of the excitation spectrum by making use of the symmetry arguments.
