Abstract
The authors construct a family of isotropic spin-s quantum chains consisting of sums of operators satisfying a Temperley-Lieb algebra. Exact values for the infinite lattice limit of the ground-state energy per site and for the (non-zero) gap to the lowest energy excited state follow from the Temperley-Lieb equivalence with a Bethe ansatz soluble XXZ model. The family of spin chains includes the biquadratic spin-1 model.
