I have a question if you have an Hamiltonian given by
<br /> H = \sum_{i,i+1} \sigma_i \cdot \sigma_{i+1}<br />
where i can even or odd bonds so in a 1D lattice so if you have 4 sites(1 2 3 4 1) then (12) and (34) are even bonds and (23) and (41) are odd bonds. and I was checking if

<br /> [H_{x even(12)} , H_{x even(34)}] <br />
will they commute also do even and odd bonds commute i.e.
<br /> [H_{x even} , H_{x odd}] <br />
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How do you define ##H_{xeven}## and ##H_{xodd}##?
 
Same as I defined above its a Heisenberg spin systems with
<br /> H_{xeven}<br /> [/itex] and <br /> &lt;br /&gt; H_{xodd}&lt;br /&gt; [/itex]&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; are both Heisenberg spin systems with spins defined for even and odd bonds. Here when I say bond I mean the distance between two atomic points in lattice. and alternative bonds are defined as even and odd. Also my ultimate goal is to calculate&lt;br /&gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [ (\sigma_{1}^x \cdot \sigma_{2}^x + \sigma_{1}^y \cdot \sigma_{2}^y + \sigma_{1}^z \cdot \sigma_{2}^z) , (\sigma_{3}^x \cdot \sigma_{4}^x + \sigma_{3}^y \cdot \sigma_{4}^y + \sigma_{3}^z \cdot \sigma_{4}^z)]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [/itex] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; so will it commute.
