Abstract
Supersymmetric valence-bond solid models are extensions of the VBS model, a paradigmatic model of “solvable” gapped quantum antiferromagnets, to the case with doped fermionic holes. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of physical properties of the models. For systematic studies, a supersymmetric version of the matrix-product formalism is developed. On 1D chains, we exactly evaluate the hole-doping behavior of various physical quantities, such as the spin or the charge excitation spectrum, the superconducting order parameter. A generalized hidden order is proposed, and the corresponding string nonlocal order parameter is also calculated. The behavior of the string-order parameter is discussed in the light of the entanglement spectrum.
