Description

The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin systems on the three-leg ladder are investigated. Periodic boundary condition is imposed in the rung direction. The system has an excitation gap for allantiferromagnetic inter-chain coupling (J⊥>0). The estimated gap for the strong coupling limit (J⊥/J1 → ∞) is 0.28J1. Although the interaction is homogeneous and only nearest-neighbor, the ground states of the system are dimerized and break the translationalsymmetry in the thermodynamic limit.Introducing the next-nearest neighbor coupling (J2), we can see that the system is solved exactly. The ground state wave function is completelydimer-ordered.Using density matrix renomalization group algorithm, we show numericallythat the original model (J2=0) has the same nature with the exactlysolvable model. The ground state properties of the ladder with a higher odd number of legs are also discussed.
