Abstract

We consider the calculation of ground-state expectation values for the non-Hermitian Z(N) spin chain described by free parafermions. For N = 2 the model reduces to the quantum Ising chain in a transverse field with open boundary conditions. Use is made of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem to obtain exact results for particular single site and nearest-neighbor ground-state expectation values for general N which are valid for sites deep inside the chain. These results are tested numerically for N = 3, including how they change as a function of distance from the boundary.
