I have a question if you have an Hamiltonian given by
[itex] H = \sum_{i,i+1} \sigma_i \cdot \sigma_{i+1}[/itex]
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

[itex] [H_{x even(12)} , H_{x even(34)}] [/itex]
will they commute also do even and odd bonds commute i.e.
[itex] [H_{x even} , H_{x odd}] [/itex]

Same as I defined above its a Heisenberg spin systems with
[tex] H_{xeven}<br /> [/itex] and <br /> [tex] H_{xodd}<br /> [/itex]<br /> <br /> 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<br /> [tex] [ (\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)]<br /> [/itex] <br /> so will it commute.[/tex][/tex][/tex]
