Polynomial deformations of $sl(2)$ and unified algebraic framework for solutions of a class of spin models

Abstract

We introduce novel polynomial deformations of the Lie algebra $sl(2)$. We construct their finite-dimensional irreducible representations and the corresponding differential operator realizations. We apply our results to a class of spin models with hidden polynomial algebra symmetry and obtain the closed-form expressions for their energies and wave functions by means of the Bethe ansatz method. The general framework enables us to give an unified algebraic and analytic treatment for three interesting spin models with hidden cubic algebra symmetry: the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model, the molecular asymmetric rigid rotor, and the two-axis countertwisting squeezing model. We provide analytic and numerical insights into the structures of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equations (i.e. the so-called Bethe roots) of these models. We give descriptions of the roots on the spheres using the inverse stereographic projection. The changes in nature and pattern of the Bethe roots on the spheres indicate the existence of different phases of the models. We also present the fidelity and derivatives of the ground-state energies (with respect to model parameters) of the models. The results indicate the presence of critical points and phase transitions of the models. In the appendix, we show that, unlike the so-called Bender-Dunne polynomials, the set of polynomials in the energy $E$, $P_{\ell }(E)$, corresponding to each of the three spin models has two critical polynomials whose zeros give the quasi-exact energy eigenvalues of the model. Such types of polynomials seem new.
