1. Introduction. The time correlation functions of the z components of two

spins and the time autocorrelation function of the z component of the magnetization have been derived previously by Niemeijer ~) for the so-called c-cyclic anisotropic X Y model. These correlation functions only represent correctly the corresponding correlation functions of the cyclic spin X Y model (the so-called a-cyclic X Y model2)) in the limit of an infinite number of spins. The purpose of the present paper and a subsequent one is to calculate these correlation functions for the finite a-cyclic model with the aim of studying later the ergodic properties of this model, which is somewhat more physical than the finite c-cyclic model. Since the hamiltonian of the a-cyclic problem has the property that it acts in a subspace of the space of states, as if it were the c-cyclic hamiltonian, and in the orthogonal complement of this subspace, as if it were the c-anticyclic hamiltonian, we shall first, in this paper, calculate the correlation functions for the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic hamiltonian as if these were valid in the whole space of states. In a forthcoming paper we shall combine these results in order to obtain the correct expressions for the correlation functions for the a-cyclic problem. The method used in this paper differs from Niemeijer's approach and does not require an explicit diagonalization of the hamiltonians and calculation of their eigenvectors. In section 2 we formulate the problem and give the form of the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic hamiltonian. In section 3 we introduce hermitian operators ~i and fli (i --- 1. . . . . N) which are linear combinations of the fermion creation and annihilation operators. In terms of these operators the dynamical problem is solved for both models. In section 4 we evaluate the z component of 259

the magnetization and the internal energy for both models. The expressions for these quantities reduce to traces of functions of cyclic and anticyclic matrices. The cyclic/anticyclic nature of these matrices enables one to express these quantities in a simple way in terms of the parameters of the system. Finally, in section 5, we derive in a similar way explicit expressions for the various time correlation functions for the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic model. 2. F o r m u l a t i o n . We consider a linear chain of N spins ½ subjected to an external magnetic field B along the z axis. The spins have nearest-neighbour interactions.

It follows immediately that p2 = 1 (unit operator).

Since P is hermitian, it is easily seen that the space of states can be decomposed into two orthogonal subspaces, one belonging to the eigenvalue + 1 of P, and one belonging to the eigenvalue - 1 . It can furthermore be checked that H and P commute: [/4, e ] = 0.

It follows that in the subspace belonging to the eigenvalue + 1 of P, the hamiltonian can effectively be described by N

The problem corresponding with the hamiltonian (4) is the so-called a-cyclic problem (cf. ref. 2). If the hamiltonian (4) is replaced by the hamiltonian H_ t [eq. (10)] in the whole space of states, one is dealing with the so-called c-cyclic problem. However, when dealing with the a-cyclic problem one has to realize that H and H_ 1 are effectively identical only in a subspace of the space of states, viz. the one belonging to the eigenvalue - 1 of P. If the hamiltonian (4) is replaced by H+ 1 [eq. (9)] in the whole space of states, one is dealing with, what we shall call, the c-anticyclic problem. The validity of H+ t for the a-cyclic problem is restricted to the subspace belonging to the eigenvalue + 1 of P. The purpose of this paper is to compute spin-spin correlation functions and the autocorrelation function of the magnetization for the models characterized by the hamiltonians H_a and H+I, respectively, as if these hamiltonians were valid in the whole space of states. In a forthcoming paper we shall separate in the expressions thus obtained the contributions from the two subspaces belonging to the two different eigenvalues of P, and subsequently combine the relevant parts (for H+ t the part produced by the subspace belonging to the eigenvalue + 1 of P, and for H_ t the part produced by the subspace belonging to the eigenvalue - 1) in order to obtain the correlation functions for the a-cyclic model.

The correlation functions to be computed in the following sections, will be expressed in terms of the elements of matrices which are functions of the matrices S_ i, -S- 1 and M_ 1, and S + 1, S + 1 and M + 1 for the two models, respectively. These elements can, due to the cyclic/anticyclic nature of the matrices S~, S~ and M,, easily be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of these matrices. These eigenvalues can, in their turn, easily be expressed in terms of the elements of S~, ~;~ and M~, i.e., in terms of 7 and B.

The expression for the autocorrelation function of the z component of one arbitrary spin follows immediately from (50) by putting j = k. The last term on the r.h.s, of (50) then vanishes for reasons of symmetry. In the thermodynamic limit we obtain the well-known expressions derived by Niemeijer t) for the c-cyclic case. It is clear that the results for the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic case are the same in this limit.

6. Final remark. In a forthcoming paper we shall combine the relevant parts of the correlation functions for the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic model in order to obtain the correlation functions for the a-cyclic model (cf. section 2). From the discussion in this paper it is already clear, that in the thermodynamic limit the results for the a-cyclic model will be equal to the results obtained in this paper for the c-cyclic and the c-anticyclic model.

In a similar way we find Y = ½U - ½i(SM -½ sinh t M ~ ) • X - ½(cosh t M ¢ - U). Y

(c.s)

Z = ½O - ½i(SM -~ sinh tiM+) • X - ½(cosh tim ~ - U). Z.

(C.9)

and

F r o m (C.7) it follows that X = i[(cosh t M~: + U)- 1SM -~ sinh tim ÷] • Z.

(C.lO)

Inserting (C.10) into (C.9) we obtain

Z=kU.

(C.11)

Substituting (C. 11) into (C. 10) we have X = ½ iSM -~ tanh ½tiMe;

(C.12)

and finally, by inserting (C.12) into (C.8), we find

Y=kU.

APPENDIX D In this appendix we shall c o m p u t e the elements of the tetradics X (1., X t2~, X ~3~, X (4) and X (s), defined as X jklm (1) =

( F o r simplicity of notation we omit the subscript a.) Using the a n t i c o m m u t a t i o n rules (16), the invariance o f traces under cyclic permutation, and furthermore using the results of appendix C, we have X jklm (1) = ½<[P' O~j]O~kO~lO~m>~- 4Ijklml

where the tetradic I is defined by Ijklm = 3jkt~lm -- t~jlt~km ~- 6jmgkt,

Along the lines of appendix C it is easily found that X (a) = ½i(SA4 - ~ sinh flA4~) - X (2)

(D.8)

and X ¢2) = - ½i(.~M -½ sinh time) • X (') - ½(cosh tim ~ - U)- X ~2).

(D.9)

F r o m (D.9) it follows that X (2) = - i(SM -~ tanh ½tiM½) • X °).

(D.10)

Inserting (D.10) into (D.8) we obtain X <') = ¼I,

(D.I 1)

and it follows immediately that X ¢2) = - ¼i(.~M-~ tanh ½flA4~) • I.

(D.12)

In a similar way we have f r o m (D.6) and (D.7) X (s) = ¼I
