Bilinear-biquadratic spin-1 model in the Haldane and dimerized phases

Abstract

We study the low-lying spectrum of the bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model in the dimerized and Haldane phases using a tensor renormalization method. At the (Takhtajan-Babujian) critical point the finite size spectrum predicted by the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model can only partly be confirmed. We find a singlet-singlet gap which does not fit into the WZW systematics. The results obtained are compared to Bethe Ansatz, exact diagonalization, and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations for specific parameters.
