Next-nearest-neighbor spin-spin and chiral-spin correlation functions in generalized XXX chain

Abstract

We develop a simple technique for calculation of next to nearest neighbor spin-spin and chiral-spin correlation functions in inhomogeneous XXX model. Exact expression of the chiral-spin order parameter as a function of the model parameter, $\omega$, is analytically found. Using the same method we also calculate the next to nearest neighbor spin-spin correlation function. In the limit $\omega ->0$ it reproduces the known result for the vacuum expectation value of the next to nearest neighbor spins in the standard Heisenberg spin chain. The technique is simple and can be extended for calculation of next to next to nearest neighbor correlation functions as well as for calculation of correlation functions in XXZ model.
