1. Introduction

Two-magnon systems have attracted the attention of many researchers. Probably, such systems were first discussed by Bethe [1] in the context of one-dimensional integer-valued lattices. Bethe proved that no more than one bound state (BS) of the system can exist in the case of one-dimensional isotropic ferromagnet. N. Fukuda and M. Wortis [2] investigated the two-magnon systems in the one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic model and they have received the confirmation of Bethe results. Worts [3] examined the two-magnon system in a d-dimensional integer-valued lattice for an arbitrary d and proved that in this case, the system has 0,1,2, ,2 d BSs.

Majumdar [4] investigated the two-magnon system in a one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet with a coupling between nearest and second nearest neighbors for the full quasi-momentum Λ = π . He found the spectrum and the BSs of the system numerically. In [5] , such a system was examined for the case of a one-dimensional Heisenberg isotropic ferromagnet with a nearest- and second nearest-neighbor interactions for Λ = π and Λ = π 2 . The spectrum and the BSs of the system for these values of Λ were studied with numerical methods. Gochev [6] considered the two-magnon system in a one-dimensional Heisenberg longitudinal ferromagnet with a coupling between nearest and second nearest neighbors for an arbitrary full quasi-momentum. He investigated the spectrum and the BSs of the system analytically.

The two-magnon systems in the anisotropic Heisenberg model with a nearest-neighbor interaction were addressed in [7] . The focus in [8] was on two-magnon systems in a one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet with a interaction between nearest and second nearest neighbors. The spectrum and the BSs of such systems were investigated for all values of the full quasi-momentum.

The usual starting point for theoretical studies of magnetically organized matter is the Heisenberg exchange Hamiltonian (with an arbitrary spin s)

H = J m , τ ( S m S m + τ ) , (1)

where J is the bilinear exchange interaction parameter for nearest-neighbor atoms; S m = ( S m x , S m y , S m z ) is the atomic spin operator of the mth node of the ν-dimensional integer-valued lattice Z ν , and τ denotes summation over the nearest neighbors. However, the actual isotropic spin exchange Hamiltonian with an arbitrary spin s has the form [9]

H = m , τ n = 1 2 s J n ( S m S m + τ ) n , (2)

where J n are the multipole exchange interaction parameters for nearest-neighbors atoms. Hamiltonian (2) coincides with Hamiltonian (1) only for s = 1 / 2 , while there are terms with higher powers of S m S m + τ up to ( S m S m + τ ) 2 s inclusive for s > 1 / 2 . These terms must be taken into account. Hamiltonian (2) is called the non-Heisenberg Hamiltonian.

Spectrum and BSs of two-magnon system in the non-Heisenberg ferromagnet with the bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions were studied in works [10] - [17] . The spectrum and the BSs of two-magnon systems in a non-Heisenberg ferromagnet with coupling between nearest neighbors by bilinear and biquadratic interactions were investigated in [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] . Different methods, such as the Green’s function method, the molecular field approximation method, the random phase approximation method, numerical methods, and the use of the creation and annihilation operators through the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, Dyson transformation, Dyson-Maleev transformation, Golghirch transformation, and others, were applied in these works. In [15] [16] , the spectrum and the BSs of this system were investigated for the case of a one-dimensional non-Heisenberg ferromagnet with s = 1 and with a coupling between second nearest and third nearest neighbors respectively. The values of the Hamiltonian parameters for which the BSs exist were found, and the energies of these BSs were calculated. In [17] , the spectrum and the BSs of two-magnon system were investigated in a ν-dimensional non-Heisenberg ferromagnet with s = 1 and with a coupling between nearest neighbors.

In [18] , the spectrum and the three-magnon BSs of three-magnon systems were investigated in a two-dimensional isotropic and anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet in bounded lattice with numerical methods.

In the work [19] [20] investigated the structure of essential spectrum and obtained the lower and upper estimates for the number of three-particle bound states (BS) of the energy operator of two-magnon system in a isotropic Heisenberg and Non-Heisenberg ferromagnet model with impurity in a ν-dimensional lattice Z ν with nearest-neighbor interactions.

The spectrum and BSs of two-magnon systems in a non-Heisenberg ferromagnet with coupling between nearest-neighbors by linear and biquadratic interactions were investigated in [17] .

2. Hamiltonian

In this paper, we investigate the structure of essential spectrum and we obtain the lower and upper estimates for the number of three-magnon bound states of the energy operator of three-magnon system in a isotropic Non-Heisenberg ferromagnet model with spin one and nearest-neighbor interactions in a ν-dimensional lattice Z ν .

In this case the component S m z of spin operator S m take up the values 1,0, 1 , i.e. S m z φ 0 = φ 0 , or S m z φ 0 = 0 , or S m z φ 0 = φ 0 , where φ 0 be the vacuum vector. We consider these case the separately. From the beginning. We consider the case, when the spin component S m z take up the value 1.

The system Hamiltonian has the form

H = J m , τ ( S m S m + τ ) J 1 m , τ ( S m S m + τ ) 2 , (3)

acts in the symmetrical Fo’ck space H , S m = ( S m x , S m y , S m z ) is the atomic spin s = 1 operator in the node m, J > 0 , J 1 > 0 are the respective the bilinear and biquadratic exchange interaction parameters for nearest-neighbor atoms of the lattice, and τ denotes summation over the nearest neighbors. We set S m ± = S m x ± i S m y , where S m and S m + are the respective magnon creation and annihilation operators at the site m. Let φ 0 be the so-called vacuum vector, which is fully determined by the conditions S m + φ 0 = 0 and S m z φ 0 = φ 0 , φ 0 = 1 . The vectors S m S n S l φ 0 describe the state of the system of three magnons located at the nodes m, n and l. The vectors S m S n S l φ 0 constitute an orthonormal system. We let H 3 denote the Hilbert space spanned by these vectors. It is called the space of three-magnon states of the operator H. The space H 3 is invariant under operator H. We let H3 denote the restriction of the operator H in the space H 3 .

Theorem 1. The space H 3 is invariant with respect to the operator H. The operator H3 is a bounded self-adjoint operator. It generates the bounded self-adjoint operator H ¯ 3 , acting in the space l 2 ( ( Z ν ) 3 ) according to the formula

( H ¯ 3 f ) ( p , q , r ) = J p , q , r , τ { ( δ p , q + τ + δ p , r + τ + δ p + τ , q + δ p + τ , r + δ q , r + τ + δ q + τ , r 6 ) f ( p , q , r ) + ( 1 2 δ p τ , q 1 2 δ p τ , r + 1 ) f ( p τ , q , r ) + ( 1 2 δ q τ , r 1 2 δ p , q τ + 1 ) f ( p , q τ , r ) + ( 1 2 δ p , r τ 1 2 δ q , r τ + 1 ) f ( p , q , r τ ) + ( 1 2 δ p + τ , q 1 2 δ p + τ , r + 1 ) f ( p + τ , q , r ) + ( 1 2 δ p , q + τ 1 2 δ q + τ , r + 1 ) f ( p , q + τ , r ) + ( 1 2 δ p , r + τ 1 2 δ q , r + τ + 1 ) f ( p , q , r + τ ) }

+ ( 3 4 δ p , r δ p + τ , q + δ p + τ , q 3 4 δ q , r δ p + τ , q ) f ( p + τ , q τ , r ) + ( 3 4 δ p , q δ p , r + τ + δ q , r + τ 3 4 δ p , r δ p + τ , q ) f ( p , q τ , r + τ ) + ( 3 4 δ q , r δ p + τ , q + δ p + τ , r 3 4 δ p , q δ p + τ , r ) f ( p + τ , q , r τ )

+ ( 3 4 δ p , q δ p + τ , r + δ q + τ , r 3 4 δ p , r δ p , q + τ ) f ( p , q + τ , r τ ) + ( δ p + τ , r δ p , q + δ p , q ) f ( p + τ , q + τ , r ) + ( δ p + τ , q δ p , r + δ p , r ) f ( p + τ , q , r + τ ) + ( δ p , q + τ δ q , r + δ q , r ) f ( p , q + τ , r + τ ) } , (4)

where δ k , j is the Kronecker symbol. The operator H3 acts on the vector ψ H 3 according to the formula

H 3 ψ = p , q , r ( H ¯ 3 f ) ( p , q , r ) S p S q S r φ 0 . (5)

Proof. The proof is by direct calculation in which we use the well-known commutation relations between the operators S m + , S p , and S n z : [ S m + , S p ] = 2 δ m , p S m z , and [ S m z , S n ± ] = ± δ m , n S m ± .

Lemma 1. The spectra of the operators H 3 and H ¯ 3 coincide.

Proof. Because H 3 and H ¯ 3 are bounded self-adjoint operators, it follows from the Weyl criterion that there exist a sequence of vectors ψ n such that ψ n = p , q , r f n ( p , q , r ) S p S q S r φ 0 , ψ n = 1 , and

lim n H 3 ψ n λ ψ n = 0 , (6)

where λ σ ( H 3 ) . On the other hand,

H 3 ψ n λ ψ n 2 = ( H 3 ψ n λ ψ n , H 3 ψ n λ ψ n ) = p , q , r H ¯ 3 f n ( p , q , r ) λ f n ( p , q , r ) 2 × ( 1 8 8 δ p , q δ p , r S p S q S r φ 0 , 1 8 8 δ p , q δ p , r S p S q S r φ 0 ) = H ¯ 3 F n λ F n 2 × ( 1 8 8 δ p , q δ p , r S p + S q + S r + S p S q S r φ 0 , φ 0 ) = ( H ¯ 3 λ ) F n 2 ( φ 0 , φ 0 ) = ( H ¯ 3 λ ) F n 2 0 ,

n . Here F n = ( f n ( p , q , r ) ) p , q , r Z ν and F n 2 = p , q , r | f n ( p , q , r ) | 2 = ψ n 2 = 1 . It follows that λ σ ( H ¯ 3 ) . Consequently, σ ( H 3 ) σ ( H ¯ 3 ) . Conversely, let λ ¯ σ ( H ¯ 3 ) . Again by the Weyl criterion, there then exist a sequence F n such that F n = p , q , r | f n ( p , q , r ) | 2 = 1 and

H ¯ 3 F n λ ¯ F n 0, (7)

as n .

Setting ψ n = 1 8 8 δ p , q δ p , r p , q , r f n ( p , q , r ) S p S q S r φ 0 , we have ψ n = F n = 1 and H ¯ 3 F n λ ¯ F n = H 3 ψ n λ ¯ ψ n . This, together with Formula (7) and the Weyl criterion, implies that λ ¯ σ ( H 3 ) , and hence σ ( H ¯ 3 ) σ ( H 3 ) . These two relations imply that σ ( H 3 ) = σ ( H ¯ 3 ) .

We let F denote the Fourier transform:

F : l 2 ( ( Z ν ) 3 ) L 2 ( ( T ν ) 3 ) H ˜ 3 ,

where T ν is a ν-dimensional torus with the normalized Lebesgue measure d λ : λ ( T ν ) = 1 . We set H ˜ 3 = F H ¯ 3 F 1 .

Theorem 2. The Fourier transformation transforms the operator H ¯ 3 into the bounded self-adjoint operator H ˜ 3 acting in the space H ˜ 3 according to the formula

( H ˜ 3 f ) ( λ , μ , γ ) = 4 ( J 2 J 1 ) i = 1 ν [ 3 cos λ i cos μ i cos γ i ] f ( λ , μ , γ ) 2 ( J J 1 ) T ν i = 1 ν [ cos ( λ i s i ) + cos ( μ i s i ) cos s i cos ( λ i + μ i s i ) ] × f ( s , λ + μ s , γ ) d s 2 ( J J 1 ) T ν i = 1 ν [ cos ( λ i s i ) + cos ( γ i s i ) cos s i cos ( λ i + γ i s i ) ] f ( s , μ , λ + γ s ) d s 2 ( J J 1 ) T ν i = 1 ν [ cos ( μ i s i ) + cos ( γ i s i ) cos s i cos ( μ i + γ i s i ) ] f ( λ , s , μ + γ s ) d s

+ cos ( μ i + γ i t i ) + cos ( λ i + γ i s i ) ] + 2 [ 3 cos s i + 3 cos t i 2 cos ( s i + t i ) 2 cos ( λ i + μ i + γ i s i ) 2 cos ( λ i + μ i + γ i t i ) ] 3 [ cos ( λ i t i ) + cos ( μ i s i ) + cos ( μ i + γ i s i t i ) + cos ( γ i s i ) + cos ( λ i + γ i s i t i ) + cos ( γ i t i ) ] } f ( s , t , λ + μ + γ s t ) d s d t . . (8)

The following fact is important for further investigating the spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 . Let the full quasi-momentum of the three-magnon system, i.e. sum of quasi-momentum of each three magnons x + y + z = Λ T ν be fixed. Let L 2 ( Γ Λ ) be the space of functions that are quadratically integrable over the manifold Γ Λ = { ( x , y , z ) : x + y + z = Λ } . It is known [21] that the operator H ˜ 3 and space H ˜ 3 can be expanded into the direct integrals H ˜ 3 = T ν H ˜ 3 Λ d Λ , H ˜ 3 = T ν H ˜ 3 Λ d Λ of the operators H ˜ 3 Λ and the spaces H ˜ 3 Λ such that the spaces H ˜ 3 Λ are invariant with respect to the operators H ˜ 3 Λ .

In the isotropic non-Heisenberg Ferromagnet model with spin s = 1 , the spectral properties of the considered operator of the energy of three-magnon systems are closely related to those of its two-magnon subsystems (see Formula (11)). We first study the spectrum and BSs of two-magnon systems.

3. Two-Magnon Bound States

The Hamiltoinian of a two-magnon subsystem also has form (3). We let H 2 denote the space of two-magnon states of the operator H. We let H2 denote the restriction of H to the space H 2 .

Theorem 3. The space H 2 is invariant with respect of the operator H. The operator H2 is a bounded self-adjoint operator. It generates the bounded self-adjoint operator H ¯ 2 , acting in the space l 2 ( ( Z ν ) 2 ) according to the formula

( H ¯ 2 f ) ( p , q ) = J p , q , τ { [ δ p , q + τ + δ p + τ , q 4 ] f ( p , q ) 1 2 δ p τ , q f ( p τ , q ) 1 2 δ p , q τ f ( p , q τ ) 1 2 δ p + τ , q f ( p + τ , q ) 1 2 δ p , q + τ f ( p , q + τ ) + f ( p + τ , q ) + f ( p τ , q ) + f ( p , q + τ ) + f ( p , q τ ) } J 1 p , q , τ { [ 2 δ p , q 2 δ p + τ , q 2 δ p , q + τ + 8 ] f ( p , q ) + δ p , q + τ f ( p τ , q + τ )

+ δ p + τ , q f ( p + τ , q τ ) 2 f ( p τ , q ) 2 f ( p + τ , q ) + δ p , q f ( p τ , q τ ) + δ p + τ , q f ( p + τ , q + τ ) + 1 2 δ p , q + τ f ( p τ , q ) δ p , q f ( p τ , q ) 2 f ( p , q + τ ) 2 f ( p , q τ ) + 1 2 δ p + τ , q f ( p , q + τ ) δ p , q f ( p , q τ ) + 1 2 δ p , q + τ f ( p , q + τ ) + 1 2 δ p + τ , q f ( p + τ , q ) δ p , q f ( p , q + τ ) δ p , q f ( p + τ , q ) } . (9)

The operator H2 acts on the vector ψ H 2 according to the formula

H 2 ψ = p , q ( H ¯ 2 f ) ( p , q ) S p S q φ 0 . (10)

Lemma 2. The spectra of the operators H2 and H ¯ 2 coincide.

Theorem 4. The Fourier transformation transforms the operator H ¯ 2 into the bounded self-adjoint operator H ˜ 2 acting in the space H ˜ 2 according to the formula

( H ˜ 2 f ) ( x , y ) = h ( x , y ) f ( x , y ) + T ν h 1 ( x , y , t ) f ( t , x + y t ) d t , (11)

where

h ( x , y ) = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) i = 1 ν [ 1 cos x i + y i 2 cos x i y i 2 ] ,

h 1 ( x , y , t ) = 4 ( J J 1 ) i = 1 ν [ cos x i y i 2 cos x i + y i 2 ] cos ( x i + y i 2 t i ) 4 J 1 i = 1 ν [ 1 2 cos x i + y i 2 cos x i y i 2 + cos ( x i + y i ) ] , x , y , t T ν .

Let the full quasi-momentum of the two-magnon system, i.e. sum of quasi-momentum of each two magnons x + y = Λ T ν be fixed. Let L 2 ( Γ Λ ) be the space of functions that are quadratically integrable over the manifold Γ Λ = { ( x , y ) : x + y = Λ } . It is known [21] that the operator H ˜ 2 and space H ˜ 2 can be expanded into the direct integrals H ˜ 2 = T ν H ˜ 2 Λ d Λ , H ˜ 2 = T ν H ˜ 2 Λ d Λ of the operators H ˜ 2 Λ and the spaces H ˜ 2 Λ such that the spaces H ˜ 2 Λ are invariant with respect to the operators H ˜ 2 Λ and the operators H ˜ 2 Λ act in the space H ˜ 2 Λ according to the formula

( H ˜ 2 Λ f Λ ) ( x ) = h Λ ( x ) f Λ ( x ) + T ν h 1 Λ ( x , t ) f Λ ( t ) d t , (12)

where h Λ ( x ) = h ( x , Λ x ) , h 1 Λ ( x , t ) = h 1 ( x , Λ x , t ) and f Λ ( x ) = f ( x , Λ x ) .

It is known that the continuous spectrum of the operator H ˜ 2 Λ does not depend on the functions h 1 Λ ( x , t ) and consists of the intervals

G Λ ν = [ m Λ ν , M Λ ν ] ,

where m Λ ν = inf x T ν h Λ ( x ) and M Λ ν = sup x T ν h Λ ( x ) .

Definition 1. The eigenfunction φ Λ L 2 ( T ν × T ν ) of the operator H ˜ 2 Λ corresponding to the eigenvalue z Λ G Λ ν is called the bound state (BS) of the operator H ˜ 2 with quasi-momentum Λ , and the quantity z Λ is called the energy of this BS.

We consider the operator K Λ ( z ) , acting in the space H ˜ 2 Λ according to the formula

K Λ ( z ) f Λ ( x ) = T ν h 1 Λ ( x , t ) h Λ ( t ) z f Λ ( t ) d t .

This operator is totally continuous in the space H ˜ 2 Λ for values of z G Λ ν = [ m Λ ν , M Λ ν ] .

Let Δ Λ ν ( z ) = det D Λ ν ( z ) , where

D Λ ν ( z ) = ( d 1 , 1 d 1 , 2 d 1 , 3 d 1 , ν + 1 d 2 , 1 d 2 , 2 d 2 , 3 d 2 , ν + 1 d 3 , 1 d 3 , 2 d 3 , 3 d 3 , ν + 1 d ν , 1 d ν , 2 d ν , 3 d ν , ν + 1 d ν + 1 , 1 d ν + 1 , 2 d ν + 1 , 3 d ν + 1 , ν + 1 ) ,

and

d 1,1 = 1 4 J 1 T ν g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z ,

d 1, k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T ν ξ Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1, ν ¯ ,

d k + 1,1 = 4 J 1 T ν η Λ k ( s k ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1, ν ¯ ,

d k + 1, k + 1 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T ν η Λ k ( s k ) ξ Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1, ν ¯ ,

d k + 1, i + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T ν η Λ k ( s k ) ξ Λ i ( s i ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1, ν ¯ , i = 1, ν ¯ , k i .

In these formulas,

g Λ ( s ) = k = 1 ν [ 1 + cos Λ k 2 cos Λ k 2 cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) ] ,

ξ Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) cos Λ k 2 , η Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) , k = 1 , ν ¯ .

Lemma 3. A number z 0 G Λ ν be an eigenvalue of the operator H ˜ 2 Λ if and only if it is a zero of the function D Λ ν ( z ) , i.e. D Λ ν ( z 0 ) = 0 .

Proof. In the case under consideration, the equation for the eigenvalues is an integral equation with a degenerate kernel. It is therefore equivalent to a system of linear homogeneous algebraic equations. It is known that such a system has a nontrivial solution if and only if its determinant is equal to zero. In this case, the determinant of this linear homogeneous algebraic system is equal to function Δ Λ ν ( z ) .

Theorem 5. Let J = 2 J 1 and ν be arbitrary. Then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 (not taking the order of the energy degeneration into account) with the energy values z 1 = 2 J 1 , z 2 = ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ i , and z 1 is degenerate ν times, while z 2 is not degenerate, z i < m Λ ν , i = 1 , 2 , for all Λ T ν , i.e. the energy values of these BSs lie below the continuous spectrum domain of the operator H ˜ 2 .

Proof. If J = 2 J 1 , then h Λ ( s ) 0 , and

Δ Λ ν ( z ) = ( 1 + 2 J 1 z ) ν { ( 1 + 2 J 1 z ) [ 1 + 4 J 1 z i = 1 ν ( 1 + cos Λ i ) ] 16 J 1 2 z 2 i = 1 ν cos 2 Λ i 2 } .

Solving the equation Δ Λ ν ( z ) = 0 , we prove the theorem.

Let π ˜ = ( π , π , , π ) T ν .

Theorem 6. Let Λ = π ˜ and J J 1 . Then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ with the energy value z = 8 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 ( J J 1 ) , and this energy level is degenerate ν times. In addition, if J > J 1 , then z < m Λ ν , and if J < J 1 , then z > M Λ ν . When J = J 1 , this BS vanishes because it is incorporated into the continuous spectrum.

Proof. The proof of this theorem is based on the equality h Λ ( x ) = 8 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) with Λ = π ˜ and also on the corresponding form of the determinant Δ Λ ν ( z ) = ( 1 2 ( J J 1 ) 8 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) z ) ν .

From Theorem 5 and 6 and later is obviously, what the spectrum of the Hamiltonian H by different value of ν differ from one another.

In the case where ν = 1 , the change of the energy spectrum of the operator H ˜ 2 is described by the following theorems.

Theorem 7.

1) Let J < J 1 and Λ ] 0, π [ or Λ ] π ,2 π [ .

a) If respectively cos Λ 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z i < m Λ 1 , i = 1 , 2 .

b) If respectively cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ 1 with the energy value z 1 , and z 1 < m Λ 1 .

2) Let J = J 1 and Λ ] 0, π [ or Λ ] π ,2 π [ .

a) If respectively 0 < Λ < α 1 or α 2 < Λ < 2 π , then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ with the energy value z < m Λ 1 .

b) If Λ [ α 1 , π [ ] π , α 2 [ , then the operator H ˜ 2 has no BS. Above, α 1 100 , α 2 260 , and z = 8 J 1 8 J 1 cos 2 Λ 2 ( 1 + 2 3 + cos 2 Λ 2 ) 3 .

3) Let J 1 < J < 2 J 1 and Λ ] 0, π [ or Λ ] π ,2 π [ .

a) If respectively cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z 1 < m Λ 1 , and z 2 > M Λ 1 .

b) If respectively cos Λ 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has three BSs φ 1 , φ 2 , and φ 3 with the corresponding energy values z 1 < m Λ 1 , and z i > M Λ 1 , i = 2 , 3 .

4) Let 2 J 1 < J < 3 J 1 and Λ ] 0, π [ or Λ ] π ,2 π [ .

a) If respectively cos Λ 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z i < m Λ 1 , i = 1 , 2 .

b) If respectively cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 2 J J 1 2 J 1 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has only BS φ 1 with the energy value z 1 < m Λ 1 . In this case, the second BS vanishes because it is incorporated into the continuous spectrum.

5) Let J = 3 J 1 and Λ 0 . Then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ with the energy value z = 4 J 1 ( 1 cos 2 Λ 2 ) < m Λ 1 .

6) Let J > 3 J 1 and Λ 0 . Then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z 1 < m Λ 1 , and z 2 > M Λ 1 .

In the case where ν = 1 and Λ = 0 , the change of the energy spectrum is described by the following theorem.

Theorem 8.

2) If J = J 1 and Λ = 0 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ with the energy value z = 64 3 J 1 < m Λ 1 .

3) If J 1 < J < 2 J 1 and Λ = 0 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z 1 < m Λ 1 and z 2 > M Λ 1 .

4) If 2 J 1 < J < 3 J 1 and Λ = 0 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 with the corresponding energy values z i < m Λ 1 , i = 1 , 2 .

5) If J = 3 J 1 and Λ = 0 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has no BS.

6) If J > 3 J 1 and Λ = 0 , then the operator H ˜ 2 has only one BS φ with the energy value z > M Λ 1 .

A sketch proof of Theorems 7-8 is given below. In the case under consideration, the equation for the eigenvalues is an integral equation with a degenerate kernel. It is therefore equivalent to a system of linear homogeneous algebraic equations. It is known that such a system has a nontrivial solution if and only if its determinant is equal to zero. In this case, the equation Δ Λ 1 ( z ) = 0 it therefore equivalent to the equation stating that the determinant of the system is zero. Expressing all integrals in the equation Δ Λ 1 ( z ) = 0 , through the integral J ( z ) = T d t h Λ ( t ) z , we find that the equation Δ Λ 1 ( z ) = 0 is equivalent to the equation

J ( z ) = { 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( J 5 J 1 ) cos 2 Λ 2 ( J J 1 ) [ z 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ] } × { 128 J 1 ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 cos 4 Λ 2 + 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( J + J 1 ) × cos 2 Λ 2 [ z 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ] + ( J J 1 ) [ z 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ] 2 } 1 . (13)

Because 1 h Λ ( t ) z is a continuous function for z [ m Λ 1 ; M Λ 1 ] and [ J ( z ) ] = T d t [ h Λ ( t ) z ] 2 > 0 , the function J ( z ) is an increasing function of z for z [ m Λ 1 ; M Λ 1 ] . Moreover, J ( z ) 0 as z , J ( z ) + as z m Λ 1 0 , J ( z ) as z M Λ 1 + 0 and J ( z ) 0 as z + . Analysis of Equation (13) outside the set G Λ = [ m Λ 1 ; M Λ 1 ] , leads to the proof of Theorems 7-8.

The energy spectrum in the case where ν = 2 for the full quasi momenta of the form Λ = ( Λ 1 , Λ 2 ) = ( Λ 0 , Λ 0 ) is described below. It is easy to see that if the parameters J , J 1 , and Λ 0 satisfy the conditions of Theorems 7-8, the statements of the theorems are true. Only one additional BS φ ˜ appears, whose energy value is z ˜ , moreover z ˜ < m Λ 2 ( z ˜ > M Λ 2 ) , if J > J 1 ( J < J 1 ) . If J = J 1 , the operator H ˜ 2 has no additional BS.

The proof of this statements is based on the fact that if ν = 2 and Λ = ( Λ 0 , Λ 0 ) , then the function Δ Λ 2 ( z ) has the form

Δ Λ 2 ( z ) = [ 1 2 ( J J 1 ) T 2 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] 2 d t 1 d t 2 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z ] Ψ Λ ( z ) , (14)

where

Ψ Λ ( z ) = { 1 8 J 1 T 2 1 + cos Λ 0 cos Λ 0 2 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) + cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z d t } × [ 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) + cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) 2 cos Λ 0 2 ] h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z d t ] 64 ( J J 1 ) J 1 T 2 { 1 + cos Λ 0 cos Λ 0 2 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) + cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] } cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z d t 1 d t 2 × T 2 cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos Λ 0 2 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z d t 1 d t 2 .

The equation Δ Λ 2 ( z ) = 0 is therefore equivalent to the equation

1 2 ( J J 1 ) T 2 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] 2 d t 1 d t 2 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z = 0 (15)

and

Ψ Λ ( z ) = 0. (16)

It is easy to see that Equation (15) has a unique solution z ˜ < m Λ 2 if J > J 1 ; if J < J 1 , this solution satisfies the condition z ˜ > M Λ 2 . If J = J 1 , Equation (15) has no solution. Expressing the integrals in Equation (16) through the integral J ( z ) = T 2 d t 1 d t 2 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 ) z , we obtain an equation of the form

η Λ ( z ) J ( z ) = ξ Λ (z)

where

η Λ ( z ) = ( J J 1 ) z ˜ 2 + 16 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( J + J 1 ) cos 2 Λ 0 2 z ˜ + 512 J 1 ( J 2 J 1 ) cos 4 Λ 0 2 ,

and ξ Λ ( z ) = 16 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( J 5 J 1 ) cos 2 Λ 0 2 ( J J 1 ) z ˜ . In this case, z ˜ = z 16 ( J 2 J 1 ) . In turn, for η Λ ( z ) 0 , the latter equation is equivalent to the equation of the form

J ( z ) = ξ Λ ( z ) η Λ ( z ) . (17)

Analyzing Equation (17) outside the set G Λ 2 and taking into account that the function J ( z ) is monotonic for z [ m Λ 2 ; M Λ 2 ] , we obtain statements similar to the statements in Theorems 7-8.

For all other quasi momenta Λ = ( Λ 1 , Λ 2 ) , Λ 1 Λ 2 , there exist sets R j , j = 0 , 5 ¯ , of the parameters J , J 1 , and Λ such that in every set R j the operator H ˜ 2 has exactly j BSs (taking the energy degeneration order into account) with the corresponding energy values z k G Λ 2 , k = 1 , 5 ¯ .

Indeed, in this case and for ν = 2 , the function Δ Λ 2 ( z ) has the form

Δ Λ 2 ( z ) = det D Λ 2 ( z ) ,

where D Λ 2 ( z ) = ( a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3 c 1 c 2 c 3 ) , and a 1 = 1 4 J 1 T 2 g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , a k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 f Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1 , 2 ; b 1 = 4 J 1 T 2 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , b 2 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) f Λ 1 ( s 1 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , b 3 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) f Λ 2 ( s 2 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , c 1 = 4 J 1 T 2 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , c 2 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) f Λ 1 ( s 1 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , c 3 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 2 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) f Λ 2 ( s 2 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z .

In these formulas, g Λ ( s ) = k = 1 2 [ 1 + cos Λ k 2 cos Λ k 2 cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) ] , f Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) cos Λ k 2 , k = 1 , 2 , η Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) , k = 1 , 2 , Λ T 2 , t T 2 .

Expressing all integrals in the equation Δ Λ 2 ( z ) = 0 through J ( z ) and rearranging algebraically, we reduce the latter equation to the form

θ Λ ( z ) J ( z ) = χ Λ ( z ) , (18)

where θ Λ ( z ) is a fifth-order polynomial in z, and χ Λ ( z ) is a lower-order polynomial in z. Analyzing Equation (18) outside the set G Λ 2 and taking into account that the function J ( z ) with z [ m Λ 2 , M Λ 2 ] is monotonic, we can easily verify that the equation has no more than five solutions outside the set G Λ 2 .

We now consider the case of ν = 3 . Let the full quasi-momentum have the form Λ = ( Λ 1 , Λ 2 , Λ 3 ) = ( Λ 0 , Λ 0 , Λ 0 ) . If the parameters Λ 0 , J and J 1 satisfy the conditions in Theorems 7-8, then statements similar to those in the theorems are true. Only one additional BS φ ˜ ˜ appears, whose energy value is z ˜ ˜ . This energy level is twice degenerate and z ˜ ˜ < m Λ 3 ( z ˜ ˜ > M Λ 3 ) , if J > J 1 ( J < J 1 ) . This additional BS vanishes when J = J 1 because it is incorporated into the continuous spectrum.

To prove this, we note that in this case, the function Δ Λ 3 ( z ) has the form

Δ Λ 3 ( z ) = [ 1 2 ( J J 1 ) T 3 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] 2 d t 1 d t 2 d t 3 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z ] 2 Ψ ˜ Λ ( z ) , t T 3 ,

where

Ψ ˜ Λ ( z ) = { 1 4 J 1 T 3 3 + 3 cos Λ 0 2 cos Λ 0 2 ( i = 1 ν cos ( Λ 0 2 t i ) ) h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z d t } × [ 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) [ i = 1 3 cos ( Λ 0 2 t i ) 3 cos Λ 0 2 ] h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z d t ] 48 ( J J 1 ) J 1 T 3 { 3 + 3 cos Λ 0 2 cos Λ 0 2 [ i = 1 3 cos ( Λ 0 2 t i ) ] } cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z d t 1 d t 2 d t 3 × T 3 cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos Λ 0 2 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z d t 1 d t 2 d t 3 .

Therefore the equation Δ Λ 3 ( z ) = 0 is equivalent to the equations

[ 1 2 ( J J 1 ) T 3 [ cos ( Λ 0 2 t 1 ) cos ( Λ 0 2 t 2 ) ] 2 d t 1 d t 2 d t 3 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z ] 2 = 0 (19)

and

Ψ ˜ Λ ( z ) = 0. (20)

It is easy see that Equation (19) has a unique double solution z if J J 1 and z < m Λ 3 ( z > M Λ 3 ) , if J > J 1 ( J < J 1 ) . Expressing all integrals in Equation (20) through J ( z ) = T 3 d t 1 d t 2 d t 3 h Λ ( t 1 , t 2 , t 3 ) z , we obtain the equation

η ˜ Λ ( z ) J ( z ) = θ ˜ Λ ( z ) , (21)

where η ˜ Λ ( z ) = ( J J 1 ) z ˜ 2 + 24 ( J + J 1 ) ( J 2 J 1 ) cos 2 Λ 0 2 z ˜ + 1152 J 1 ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 cos 4 Λ 0 2 , and θ ˜ Λ ( z ) = 24 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( J 5 J 1 ) cos 2 Λ 0 2 ( J J 1 ) z ˜ . Here z ˜ = z 24 ( J 2 J 1 ) . If η ˜ Λ ( z ) 0 , Equation (21) is, in turn, equivalent to the equation

J ( z ) = θ ˜ Λ ( z ) η ˜ Λ ( z ) . (22)

Analyzing Equation (22) outside the set G Λ 3 and taking into account that the function J ( z ) for z G Λ 3 , is monotonic, we prove the statements made above.

If Λ ( Λ 0 , Λ 0 , Λ 0 ) , the system has no more than seven BSs (taking the energy degeneration order into account), and there exist sets R k , k = 0 , 7 ¯ , of the parameters J , J 1 , and Λ such that in every set R k the system has exactly k BSs. The energy values of these BSs lie outside the set G Λ 3 . When passing from one of these sets to another, either some additional BSs of the operator H ˜ 2 appear or some existing BSs vanish.

In this case, the function Δ Λ 3 ( z ) has the form Δ Λ 3 ( z ) = det D Λ 3 ( z ) , where

D Λ 3 ( z ) = ( a 1 a 2 a 3 a 4 b 1 b 2 b 3 b 4 c 1 c 2 c 3 a 4 d 1 d 2 d 3 d 4 ) ,

and a 1 = 1 4 J 1 T 3 g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , a k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 f Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1 , 2 , 3 ; b 1 = 4 J 1 T 3 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , b 2 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) f Λ 1 ( s 1 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , b k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 1 ( s 1 ) f Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 2 , 3 ; c 1 = 4 J 1 T 3 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , c k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) f Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1 , 3 , ; c 3 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 2 ( s 2 ) f Λ 2 ( s 2 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , d 1 = 4 J 1 T 3 η Λ 3 ( s 3 ) g Λ ( s ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , d k + 1 = 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 3 ( s 3 ) f Λ k ( s k ) d s h Λ ( s ) z , k = 1 , 2 ; d 4 = 1 4 ( J J 1 ) T 3 η Λ 3 ( s 3 ) f Λ 3 ( s 3 ) d s h Λ ( s ) z . In these formulas g Λ ( s ) = k = 1 3 [ 1 + cos Λ k 2 cos Λ k 2 cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) ] , f Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) cos Λ k 2 , k = 1 , 2 , 3 , η Λ k ( s k ) = cos ( Λ k 2 s k ) , k = 1 , 2 , 3 , . Λ T 3 , t T 3 .

Expressing all integrals in the equation Δ Λ 3 ( z ) = 0 through J ( z ) and rearranging algebraically, we reduce this equation to the form

J ( z ) = A Λ ( z ) B Λ (z)

where B Λ ( z ) is a seventh-order polynomial in z, and A Λ ( z ) is a lower-order polynomial in z . Therefore, this equation has no more than seven solutions outside the set G Λ 3 .

For an arbitrary ν > 3 and Λ = ( Λ 1 , Λ 2 , , Λ ν ) = ( Λ 0 , Λ 0 , , Λ 0 ) , if the parameters J , J 1 and Λ 0 satisfy the conditions in Theorems 7-8, statements similar to those in the theorems are true. In this situation, the operator H ˜ 2 with J J 1 has only one additional BS. The energy z of this additional BS is degenerate ( ν 1 ) times. Moreover, z < m Λ ν ( z > M Λ ν ) , if J > J 1 ( J < J 1 ) . For all other values of the full quasi-momentum Λ of the system, the operator H ˜ 2 has no more than 2 ν + 1 BSs (taking the energy degeneration order into account) with the energy values lying outside the set G Λ ν .

The proof of these statements is based on finding zeros of the determinants Δ Λ ν ( z ) of the operators. Expressing all integrals in Δ Λ ν ( z ) through J ( z ) , we can bring the equation Δ Λ ν ( z ) = 0 to the form

J ( z ) = C Λ ( z ) D Λ ( z ) , (23)

where D Λ ( z ) is a ( 2 ν + 1 ) th-order polynomial in z and C Λ ( z ) is also a polynomial in z whose order (with respect to D Λ ( z ) ) is lower. Analysis of Equation (23) outside the set G Λ ν leads to the proof of the statements made above.

Theorem 9. Let J = J 1 and ν be an arbitrary number. Then the operator H ˜ 2 has no more than one BS, and the corresponding energy level z < m Λ ν is not degenerate.

Proof. If J = J 1 , the relations h 1 Λ ( x , t ) = 4 J 1 i = 1 ν [ 1 2 cos Λ i 2 cos ( Λ i 2 x i ) + cos Λ i ] , h Λ ( x ) = 4 J 1 i = 1 ν [ 1 cos Λ i 2 cos ( Λ i 2 x i ) ] hold. Using the determinant Δ Λ ν ( z ) and solving the corresponding equation, we obtain the statement in Theorem 9.

4. Structure of Essential Spectrum and Discrete Spectrum of Three-Magnon Systems

We first determine the structure of the essential spectrum of the three-magnon system and then estimate the number of three-magnon BSs in this system. Comparing Formulas (8) and (11) and using tensor products of Hilbert spaces and tensor products of operators in Hilbert spaces [22] , we can verify that the operator H ˜ 3 Λ can be represented in the form

H ˜ 3 Λ = H ˜ 2 Λ 1 I + I ( H ˜ 2 Λ 2 + H ˜ 2 Λ 3 ) + K Λ , (24)

where I is the unit operator in the space H 1 , and H ˜ 2 Λ 1 and H ˜ 2 Λ 2 and H ˜ 2 Λ 3 are the energy operator of two-magnon systems, and K Λ are finite-dimensional operator, Λ = λ + μ + γ , Λ 1 = λ + μ , Λ 2 = λ + γ , Λ 3 = μ + γ .

The spectrum of A I + I B , where A and B are densely defined bounded linear operators, was studied in [23] [24] [25] . Explicit formulas expressing σ e s s ( A I + I B ) and σ d i s c ( A I + I B ) in terms of σ ( A ) , σ d i s c ( A ) , σ ( B ) and σ d i s c ( B ) were given in those papers:

σ d i s c ( A I + I B ) = { ( σ ( A ) \ σ e s s ( A ) ) + ( σ ( B ) \ σ e s s ( B ) ) } \ { ( σ e s s ( A ) + σ ( B ) ) ( σ ( A ) + σ e s s ( B ) ) } ,

σ e s s ( A I + I B ) = ( σ e s s ( A ) + σ ( B ) ) ( σ ( A ) + σ e s s ( B ) ) . It is clear that σ ( A E + E B ) = { z 1 + z 2 : z 1 σ ( A ) , z 2 σ ( B ) } .

Note that, what the problems of finite-rank perturbations for the compact operators be considered in the work [26] [27] [28] .

The following theorems describe the structure of the essential spectrum of H ˜ 2 Λ 1 I + I ( H ˜ 2 Λ 2 + H ˜ 2 Λ 3 ) .

Theorem 10. If J = 2 J 1 and ν be arbitrary. Then the essential spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 Λ consists of the set of five points: σ e s s ( H ˜ 3 Λ ) = { 0 , 2 J 1 , 4 J 1 , ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ 1 , i , 2 ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν ( cos Λ 2 , i + cos Λ 3 , i ) } , and the inequality 4 N 8 ν + 4 holds for the number N of three-magnon BSs.

Proof. It can be seen from Theorem 5, that for J = 2 J 1 the operator H ˜ 2 has exactly two BSs φ 1 and φ 2 (not taking the order of the energy degeneration into account) with the energy values z 1 = 2 J 1 ,

z 2 = ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ 1 , i , while the continuous spectrum of the operator H ˜ 2 is consists of one point z = 0 , therefore the essential spectrum of operator H ˜ 3 Λ is consists of points z 1 = 0 , z 2 = 2 J 1 , z 3 = 4 J 1 , z 4 = ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ 1 , i , z 5 = 2 ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν ( cos Λ 2 , i + cos Λ 3 , i ) , i.e. σ e s s ( H ˜ 3 Λ ) = { 0 , 2 J 1 , 4 J 1 , ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ 1 , i , 2 ( 4 ν + 2 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν ( cos Λ 2 , i + cos Λ 3 , i ) } . The operator H ˜ 2 Λ 1 I + I ( H ˜ 2 Λ 2 + H ˜ 2 Λ 3 ) has a eigenvalues to equally z 1 = 6 J 1 , z 2 = ( 4 ν + 6 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν cos Λ 1 , i , z 3 = ( 8 ν + 6 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν ( cos Λ 2 , i + cos Λ 3 , i ) , and z 4 = ( 12 ν + 6 ) J 1 4 J 1 i = 1 ν ( cos Λ 1 , i + cos Λ 2 , i + cos Λ 3 , i ) . The operator K Λ is a finite rank operator, to rank is equal to 8 ν . Consequently, in this case the number of three-magnon BS N 8 ν + 4 .

Theorem 11. Let Λ 1 = π ˜ , Λ 2 = π ˜ , Λ 3 = π ˜ and J J 1 . Then the essential spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 Λ consists of the set of three points: σ e s s ( H ˜ 3 Λ ) = { 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) , 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 4 ( J J 1 ) , 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 ( J J 1 ) } , and the inequality 1 N 8 ν + 1 holds for the number N of three-magnon BSs.

Proof. It can be seen from Theorem 6, that for Λ = π ˜ and J J 1 the operator H ˜ 2 has a unique BS φ with the energy value z = 8 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 ( J J 1 ) , and this energy level is ν-fold degenerate. The continuous spectrum of the operator H ˜ 2 is consists of point z = 8 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) , therefore the essential spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 Λ consists of points z 1 = 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) , z 2 = 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 4 ( J J 1 ) , z 3 = 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 ( J J 1 ) , i.e. σ e s s ( H ˜ 3 Λ ) = { 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) , 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 4 ( J J 1 ) , 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 2 ( J J 1 ) } . The operator H ˜ 2 Λ 1 I + I ( H ˜ 2 Λ 2 + H ˜ 2 Λ 3 ) has a eigenvalues equal to z = 24 ν ( J 2 J 1 ) 6 ( J J 1 ) . The operator K Λ has a finite rank operator, with rank to equal to 8 ν . Consequently, in this case, the number of three-magnon BS N 8 ν + 1 .

We let a = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 3 cos Λ 1 2 cos Λ 2 2 cos Λ 3 2 ) , b = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 3 + cos Λ 1 2 + cos Λ 2 2 + cos Λ 3 2 ) , c = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 2 cos Λ 2 2 cos Λ 3 2 ) , d = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 2 + cos Λ 2 2 + cos Λ 3 2 ) , e = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 1 cos Λ 1 2 ) , f = 8 ( J 2 J 1 ) ( 1 + cos Λ 1 2 ) .

Theorem 12. Let ν = 1 , J < J 1 and Λ 1 ] 0 , π [ , Λ 2 ] 0 , π [ , Λ 3 ] 0 , π [ or Λ 1 ] π , 2 π [ , Λ 2 ] π , 2 π [ , Λ 3 ] π , 2 π [ .

a) If cos Λ 1 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 , cos Λ 2 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 , cos Λ 3 2 > J J 1 2 J 1 or cos Λ 1 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , cos Λ 2 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , cos Λ 3 2 < J J 1 2 J 1 , then the essential spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 Λ consists of the union of five intervals:

The spectral properties of the considered energy operator of three-magnon systems in the isotropic ferromagnetic non-Heisenberg model are closely related to those of its two-magnon subsystems. We first study the spectrum and bound states of two-magnon subsystems.

Theorem 21. The space H 2 is invariant with respect of the operator H. The operator H2 is a bounded self-adjoint operator. It generates the bounded self-adjoint operator H ¯ 2 , acting in the space l 2 ( ( Z ν ) 2 ) according to the formula

The operator H2 acts on the vector ψ H 2 according to the formula

H 2 ψ = p , q ( H ¯ 2 f ) ( p , q ) S p S q φ 0 . (29)

Theorem 22. The Fourier transformation transforms the operator H ¯ 2 into the bounded self-adjoint operator H ˜ 2 = F H ¯ 2 F 1 , acting in the space H ˜ 2 according to the formula

( H ˜ 2 f ) ( x , y ) = T ν h 1 ( x , y , s ) f ( s , x + y s ) d s , (30)

where

h 1 ( x , y , s ) = 4 ( J + J 1 ) i = 1 ν [ cos x i y i 2 cos x i + y i 2 ] cos ( x i + y i 2 s i ) .

Let the full quasi-momentum of the system x + y = Λ be fixed. Let L 2 ( Γ Λ ) be the space of functions that are quadratically integrable over the manifold Γ Λ = { ( x , y ) : x + y = Λ } . It is known [21] that the operator H ˜ 2 and space H ˜ 2 can be expanded into the direct integrals H ˜ 2 = T ν H ˜ 2 Λ d Λ , H ˜ 2 = T ν H ˜ 2 Λ d Λ of the operators H ˜ 2 Λ and the spaces H ˜ 2 Λ such that the spaces H ˜ 2 Λ are invariant with respect to the operators H ˜ 2 Λ and the operators H ˜ 2 Λ act in the space H ˜ 2 Λ according to the formula

( H ˜ 2 Λ f Λ ) ( x ) = T ν h 1 Λ ( x , t ) f Λ ( t ) d t , (31)

where h 1 Λ ( x , t ) = h 1 ( x , Λ x , t ) and f Λ ( x ) = f ( x , Λ x ) .

Theorem 23. Let full quasi-momentum of the system Λ by arbitrary. Then the operator H ˜ 2 has a unique BS φ with the energy value z = 2 ( J + J 1 ) and it is ν-fold degenerated.

Let the full quasi-momentum of the system x + y + z = Λ be fixed. Then the operator H ˜ 3 and space H ˜ 3 can be expanded into the direct integrals H ˜ 3 = T ν H ˜ 3 Λ d Λ , H ˜ 3 = T ν H ˜ 3 Λ d Λ .

We now determine the structure of the essential spectrum of the three-magnon system and then estimate the number of three-magnon BSs in this system. Comparing Formulas (27) and (30) and using tensor products of Hilbert spaces and tensor products of operators in Hilbert spaces [22] , we can verify that the operator H ˜ 3 Λ can be represented in the form

H ˜ 3 Λ = H ˜ 2 Λ 1 I + I ( H ˜ 2 Λ 2 + H ˜ 2 Λ 3 ) + K ˜ Λ , (32)

where I is the unit operator in the space H ˜ 1 , and K ˜ Λ are finite-dimensional operator (see (27)).

Theorem 24. Let full quasi-momentum of the system Λ by arbitrary. Then the essential spectrum of the operator H ˜ 3 Λ consists of the three points: 0, z 1 and z 2 + z 3 , where z 1 and z 2 and z 3 is a eigenvalue of the operators H ˜ 2 Λ 1 and H ˜ 2 Λ 2 and H ˜ 2 Λ 3 , correspondingly, and the inequality 1 N 8 ν + 1 holds for the number of three-magnon BSs N.

The finding results shown the structure of essential spectra and discrete spectrum of three-magnon system, in the cases, when the component S z of spin is receive the value 1 and 0, is strongly different one another.
