Abstract
The dynamical structure factor S(q, ω) of the SU(K) (K=2, 3, 4) Haldane-Shastry model is derived exactly at zero temperature for arbitrary size of the system. The result is interpreted in terms of free quasi-particles which are generalization of spinons in the SU(2) case; the excited states relevant to S(q, ω) consist of K quasi-particles each of which is characterized by a set of K-1 quantum numbers. Near the boundaries of the region where S(q, ω) is nonzero, S(q, ω) shows the power-law singularity. It is found that the divergent singularity occurs only in the lowest edges starting from (q, ω) = (0, 0) toward positive and negative q. The analytic result is checked numerically for finite systems via exact diagonalization and recursion methods.
