Abstract
Quantum spin chains of higher spin are interesting in the case of both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. They comprise a wide range of model types—Bethe–Ansatz integrable, nonintegrable, and with limited integrability. It is not well appreciated that the two-magnon (two-body) problems is always solvable, by Bethe–Ansatz and Green’s-function techniques, regardless of the integrability character of the entire model, with interesting implications in the context of solitons and bound solitons. Chubukov and Kveschenko have suggested using the two-magnon problem in a test for integrability and claim to find additional classes of integrable spin chains for s=1 and s= (3)/(2) . Here we investigate this situation.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
