Abstract

We derive functional equations for the eigenvalues of the XXZ model subject to anti-diagonal twisted boundary conditions by means of fusion of transfer matrices and by Sklyanin's method of separation of variables. Our findings coincide with those obtained using Baxter's method and are compared to the recent solution of Galleas. As an application we study the finite size scaling of the ground-state energy of the model in the critical regime.

Twisted Heisenberg chain and the six-vertex model with DWBC

W. Galléas

In this work we establish a relation between the six-vertex model with Domain Wall Boundary Conditions (DWBC) and the XXZ spin chain with anti-periodic twisted boundaries. More precisely, we demonstrate a formal relation between the zeroes of the partition function of the six-vertex model with DWBC and the zeroes of the transfer matrix eigenvalues associated with the six-vertex model with a particular non-diagonal boundary twist.

On scalar products and form factors by separation of variables: the antiperiodic XXZ model

Hao Pei, V. Terras

Abstract We consider the XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with antiperiodic boundary conditions. The inhomogeneous version of this model can be solved by separation of variables, and the eigenstates can be constructed in terms of Q -functions, solution of a Baxter TQ-equation, which have double periodicity compared to the periodic case. We compute in this framework the scalar products of a particular class of separate states which notably includes the eigenstates of the transfer matrix. We also compute the form factors of local spin operators, i.e. their matrix elements between two eigenstates of the transfer matrix. We show that these quantities admit determinant representations with rows and columns labelled by the roots of the Q -functions of the corresponding separate states, as in the periodic case, although the form of the determinant are here slightly different. We also propose alternative types of determinant representations written directly in terms of the transfer matrix eigenvalues.

Functional Bethe ansatz methods for the openXXXchain

We study the spectrum of the integrable open XXX Heisenberg spin chain subject to non-diagonal boundary magnetic fields. The spectral problem for this model can be formulated in terms of functional equations obtained by separation of variables or, equivalently, from the fusion of transfer matrices. For generic boundary conditions the eigenvalues cannot be obtained from the solution of finitely many algebraic Bethe equations. Based on careful finite size studies of the analytic properties of the underlying hierarchy of transfer matrices we devise two approaches to analyze the functional equations. First we introduce a truncation method leading to Bethe-type equations determining the energy spectrum of the spin chain. In a second approach, the hierarchy of functional equations is mapped to an infinite system of nonlinear integral equations of TBA type. The two schemes have complementary ranges of applicability and facilitate an efficient numerical analysis for a wide range of boundary parameters. Some data are presented on the finite-size corrections to the energy of the state which evolves into the antiferromagnetic ground state in the limit of parallel boundary fields.

AQ-operator for the twisted XXX model

Christian Korff

Taking the isotropic limit Δ → 1 in a recent representation theoretic construction of Baxter's Q -operators for the XXZ model with quasi-periodic boundary conditions we obtain new results for the XXX model. We show that quasi-periodic boundary conditions are needed to ensure convergence of the Q -operator construction and derive a quantum Wronskian relation which implies two different sets of Bethe ansatz equations, one above, the other below the 'equator' of total spin S z = 0. We discuss the limit to periodic boundary conditions at the end and explain how this construction relates to the trace functional introduced by Boos et al in the context of correlation functions on the infinite lattice. We also identify a special subclass of solutions to the quantum Wronskian and numerically verify them up to spin chains of ten sites. This special type of solutions might persist for longer chains.
