Abstract

Boson mapping techniques are developed to describe valence bond correlations in quantum spin chains. Applying the method to the alternating bond hamiltonian for a generic spin chain, we derive an analytic expression for the transition points which gives perfect agreement with existing Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations.
