Abstract
The theory of the resonating valence bond (RVB) for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model of spin 1/2 proposed by Anderson is generalized by taking account of singlet bonds connecting distant spins, and is solved exactly for the finite lattice. It is shown that the RVB wave function is S tot (total spin quantum number)=0, and that replacing a part of singlet bonds by triplet bonds, eigenfunctions with S tot =1, 2, … can be constructed. These are the new representation of eigenfunctions of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian.
