2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/29040We present a many chain generalization of a recent work of ours, wherein an arbitrary number of fermionic chains are coupled via a Gauge interaction. Central to this construction is the role of an antisymmetric tensor which enters the couplings and helps define a pseudo-unitary transformation, that maps the models on to ``free fermi'' models with twisted boundary conditions.Revtex, 1 page in double column. To appear in Phys. Rev. Lett. (1999). Reply to a comment on the paper by Schulz and Shastry, PRL 80, 1924 (1998) containing en passant a many-chain generalization of that workStrongly Correlated Electronstext
