Quasi-exactly solvable n-body spin hamiltonians with short-ange interaction potentials

Abstract

We review some recent results on quasi-exactly solvable spin models presenting near-neighbors interactions. These systems can be understood as cyclic generalizations of the usual Calogero-Sutherland models. A nontrivial modification of the exchange operator formalism is used to obtain several infinite families of eigenfunctions of these models in closed form.
