Abstract
We study the excitations of two-dimensional classical vertex models and related one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians. The main mathematical means we use are functional equations which are set up and solved for the excitation functions. The method is first applied to the eight-vertex model as a prototype and compared with the traditional solution procedure of the Bethe Ansatz. In the last part we investigate some q-state models, notably the biquadratic spin-1 quantum antiferromagnet and its generalizations, which recently attracted interest due to Haldane’s conjecture.
