Abstract
Asymptotic Bethe-ansatz solutions are obtained for one-dimensional quantum systems with a 1r2 long-range interaction by generalizing Sutherland's method to multicomponent quantum systems. We obtain the solutions to the supersymmetric tJ model of Kuramoto and Yokoyama, the SU(ν) Haldane-Shastry model, and the multicomponent tJ model. The excitation spectrum as well as bulk quantities are computed analytically. Conformal properties of low-energy excitations are discussed in connection with Luttinger liquid theory.
