Abstract

We derive compact multiple integral formulae for several physical spin correlation functions in the semi-infinite XXZ chain with a longitudinal boundary magnetic field. Our formulae follow from several effective resummations of the multiple integral representation for the elementary blocks obtained in our previous paper (I). In the free fermion point we compute the local magnetization as well as the density of energy profiles. These quantities, in addition to their bulk behavior, exhibit Friedel-type oscillations induced by the boundary; their amplitudes depend on the boundary magnetic field and decay algebraically in terms of the distance to the boundary.

Correlation functions of the openXXZchain: I

We consider the XXZ spin chain with diagonal boundary conditions in the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Using the explicit computation of the scalar products of Bethe states and a revisited version of the bulk quantum inverse problem, we calculate the elementary building blocks for the correlation functions. In the limit of a half-infinite chain, they are obtained as multiple integrals of usual functions, similar to the case of periodic boundary conditions.

Correlation functions for open XXZ spin 1/2 quantum chains with unparallel boundary magnetic fields

Giuliano Niccoli, V. Terras

Abstract In this paper we continue our derivation of the correlation functions of open quantum spin 1/2 chains with unparallel magnetic fields on the edges; this time for the more involved case of the XXZ spin 1/2 chains. We develop our study in the framework of the quantum separation of variables, which gives us both the complete spectrum characterization and simple scalar product formulae for separate states, including transfer matrix eigenstates. Here, we leave the boundary magnetic field in the first site of the chain completely arbitrary, and we fix the boundary field in the last site N of the chain to be a specific value along the z -direction. This is a natural first choice for the unparallel boundary magnetic fields. We prove that under these special boundary conditions, on the one side, we have a simple enough complete spectrum description in terms of homogeneous Baxter like TQ -equation. On the other side, we prove a simple enough description of the action of a basis of local operators on transfer matrix eigenstates as linear combinations of separate states. Thanks to these results, we achieve our main goal to derive correlation functions for a set of local operators both for the finite and half-infinite chains, with multiple integral formulae in this last case.

CORRELATION FUNCTIONS OF THE XXZ SPIN-½ HEISENBERG CHAIN: RECENT ADVANCES (REVIEW)

N Kitanine, Jean Michel Maillet, N. A. Slavnov +1 more

We review some recent advances in the computation of exact correlation functions of the XXZ-½ Heisenberg chain. We first give a general introduction to our method which is based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz and the resolution of the quantum inverse scattering problem, leading in particular to multiple integral representations for the correlation functions. Then we describe recently obtained compact formulas for the spin-spin correlation functions of the XXZ-½ Heisenberg chain. We outline how this leads to several explicit results including the known two point functions in the limit of free fermions, the so-called emptiness formation probability at anisotropy Δ=1/2 and its large distance asymptotic behaviour in the massless phase of the model.

Dynamical correlation functions of theXXZmodel at finite temperature

Kazumitsu Sakai

Combining a lattice path integral formulation for thermodynamics with the solution of the quantum inverse scattering problem for local spin operators, we derive a multiple integral representation for the time-dependent longitudinal correlation function of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain at finite temperature and in an external magnetic field. Our formula reproduces the previous results in the following three limits: the static, the zero-temperature and the XY limits.

All correlation functions of the open XXX spin 1/2 quantum chains for unparallel boundary magnetic fields with one constraint

Giuliano Niccoli

In this first paper, we start the analysis of correlation functions of quantum spin chains with general integrable boundary conditions. We initiate these computations for the open XXX spin 1/2 quantum chains with some unparallel magnetic fields allowing for a spectrum characterization in terms of homogeneous Baxter like TQ-equations, in the framework of the quantum separation of variables (SoV). Previous SoV analysis leads to the formula for the scalar products of the so-called separate states. Here, we solve the remaining fundamental steps allowing for the computation of correlation functions. In particular, we rederive the ground state density in the thermodynamic limit thanks to SoV approach, we compute the so-called boundary-bulk decomposition of boundary separate states and the action of local operators on these separate states in the case of unparallel boundary magnetic fields. These findings allow us to derive multiple integral formulae for these correlation functions similar to those previously known for the open XXX quantum spin chain with parallel magnetic fields.

Correlation Functions of Quantum Integrable Models: The XXZ Spin Chain

Jean Michel Maillet

A general approach to the computation of exact correlation functions of lattice quantum integrable models proposed recently is reviewed. It is based on the resolution of the quantum inverse scattering problem. The application of this method to theXXZ Heisenberg spin- $$\tfrac{1}{2}$$ in a magnetic field leads to multiple integral representations of its n-point correlation functions. For zero magnetic field, it gives a proof, in both the massless and massive (anti-ferromagnetic) regimes, of the formulas obtained from the q-deformed KZ equations (massless regime) and the representation theory of the quantum affine algebra $${\mathcal{U}_q}(\widehat s{l_2})$$ together with the corner transfer matrix approach (massive regime). We also discuss further problems, related in particular to long distance asymptotics of these correlation functions.
