Biquadratic chains and Temperley–Lieb sectors

All models · Negative-sign tutorial · Ferromagnetic-sign tutorial

bethe-biquadratic-obc covers selected states of both signs of the spin-1 pure biquadratic chain with free ends. The auxiliary XXZ/TL equations organize the energies; physical-spin multiplicities are additional information. A TL module label is not automatically an SU(2) spin label.

Each guide gives its frontend options, state-family restrictions, tables and failure diagnostics. These modes do not collectively assert a complete excited spectrum at arbitrary length. All frontend modes support explicit MPFR when configured, but exact multiplicity counts and labels remain integer quantities.

Interpret excitation energies

Changing the sign reverses the ordering of auxiliary energies; it does not turn every AF state label into the corresponding lowest ferromagnetic state. Use the physical energy and stated gap reference. Bound-cluster deviations may be much smaller than the root-coordinate spacing; the dedicated deviation fields and convergence checks matter, even when rounded roots look like an exact string. The model pages preserve the derivations and validation of each restricted family.
