Exact models for trimerization and tetramerization in spin chains

We present exact models for an antiferromagnetic S=1 spin chain describing trimerization as well as for an antiferromagnetic S=3/2 spin chain describing tetramerization. These models can be seen as generalizations of the Majumdar-Ghosh model. For both models, we provide a local Hamiltonian and its exact three- or four-fold degenerate ground state wavefunctions, respectively. We numerically confirm the validity of both models using exact diagonalization and discuss the low lying excitations.
