In each sector of constant total z component of the spin, we develop convergent expansions for the lowest band of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. These eigenstates describe droplet states in which the spins essentially form a single linear droplet which can move. Our results also give a convergent expansion for the dispersion relation, i.e., the energy of the droplet as a function of its momentum. The methods used are from math-ph/0208026 and cond-mat/0104199, and this short paper should serve as a pedagogic introduction to those papers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-10-27T20:52:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B10", "82B20" ], "keywords": [ "ferromagnetic xxz heisenberg chain", "droplet states", "convergent expansion", "highly anisotropic ferromagnetic spin", "periodic boundary conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.ph..10059K" } } }
