Abstract
The quantum mechanical analogue of the classical Perk - Schultz model is considered which comprises the Uimin - Sutherland model and the integrable t - J chain. The quantum transfer matrix of these systems is established and the eigenvalue equations are obtained by an algebraic Bethe ansatz. Only the largest eigenvalue is needed for the calculation of the free energy of the quantum chain at finite temperature. The Bethe ansatz equations for the leading eigenvalue are transformed into a set of integral equations for some appropriately defined auxiliary functions. Furthermore, the eigenvalue of the quantum transfer matrix is expressed in terms of these functions. The integral formulation allows for taking the limit of infinite Trotter - Suzuki number analytically. The low-temperature limit of the free energy is obtained analytically and for intermediate temperatures numerical results are presented.
