摘要

We present a closed inhomogeneous quantum XX spin chain on the periodic integer lattice \(\mathbb {Z}_m\) Z m which is diagonalized by means of Slater determinants built from Rogers’ q-ultraspherical polynomials with \(q^m=1\) q m = 1 . The hermiticity of our periodic quantum spin Hamiltonian encodes a discrete orthogonality relation for these q-ultraspherical polynomials that is of a type studied previously by Spiridonov and Zhedanov.
