Abstract

We study integrable lattice regularizations of the sine–Gordon model with the help of the separation of variables method of Sklyanin and the Baxter -operators. This leads us to the complete characterization of the spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates), in terms of the solutions to the Bethe ansatz equations. The completeness of the set of states that can be constructed from the solutions to the Bethe ansatz equations is proven by our approach.

The τ2-model and the chiral Potts model revisited: completeness of Bethe equations from Sklyanin’s SOV method

Nicolas Grosjean, Giuliano Niccoli

The most general cyclic representations of the quantum integrable τ 2 -model are analyzed. The complete characterization of the τ 2 -spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates) is achieved in the framework of Sklyanin's separation of variables (SOV) method by extending and adapting previous results of one of the authors: (i) the determination of the τ 2 -spectrum is reduced to the classification of the solutions of a given functional equation in a class of polynomials; (ii) the determination of the τ 2 -eigenstates is reduced to the classification of the solutions of an associated Baxter equation. These last solutions are proved to be polynomials for a quite general class of τ 2 -self-adjoint representations and the completeness of the associated Bethe ansatz type equations is derived. Finally, the following results are derived for the inhomogeneous chiral Potts model: (i) simplicity of the spectrum, for general representations; (ii) complete characterization of the chiral Potts spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates) and completeness of Bethe ansatz type equations, for the self-adjoint representations of the τ 2 -model on the chiral Potts algebraic curves.

Transfer matrix spectrum for cyclic representations of the 6-vertex reflection algebra by quantum separation of variables

B Pezelier

In this proceeding, we recall the notion of quantum integrable systems on a lattice and then introduce the Sklyanin's Separation of Variables method. We sum up the main results for the transfer matrix spectral problem for the cyclic representations of the trigonometric 6-vertex reflection algebra associated to the Bazanov-Stroganov Lax operator. These results apply as well to the spectral analysis of the lattice sine-Gordon model with open boundary conditions. The transfer matrix spectrum (both eigenvalues and eigenstates) is completely characterized in terms of the set of solutions to a discrete system of polynomial equations. We state an equivalent characterization as the set of solutions to a Baxter's like T-Q functional equation, allowing us to rewrite the transfer matrix eigenstates in an algebraic Bethe ansatz form.

ON THE DEVELOPMENTS OF SKLYANIN'S QUANTUM SEPARATION OF VARIABLES FOR INTEGRABLE QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES

Giuliano Niccoli

We present a microscopic approach in the framework of Sklyanin's quantum separation of variables (SOV) for the exact solution of 1+1-dimensional quantum field theories by integrable lattice regularizations. Sklyanin's SOV is the natural quantum analogue of the classical method of separation of variables and it allows a more symmetric description of classical and quantum integrability w.r.t. traditional Bethe ansatz methods. Moreover, it has the advantage to be applicable to a more general class of models for which its implementation gives a characterization of the spectrum complete by construction. Our aim is to introduce a method in this framework which allows at once to derive the spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) and the dynamics (time dependent correlation functions) of integrable quantum field theories (IQFTs). This approach is presented for a paradigmatic example of relativistic IQFT, the sine-Gordon model.

Functional Bethe Ansatz for a sinh-Gordon Model with Real q

С. М. Сергеев

Recently, Bazhanov and Sergeev have described an Ising-type integrable model which can be identified as a sinh-Gordon-type model with an infinite number of states but with a real parameter q. This model is the subject of Sklyanin’s Functional Bethe Ansatz. We develop in this paper the whole technique of the FBA which includes: (1) Construction of eigenstates of an off-diagonal element of a monodromy matrix. The most important ingredients of these eigenstates are the Clebsh-Gordan coefficients of the corresponding representation. (2) Separately, we discuss the Clebsh-Gordan coefficients, as well as the Wigner’s 6j symbols, in details. The later are rather well known in the theory of 3D indices. Thus, the Sklyanin basis of the quantum separation of variables is constructed. The matrix elements of an eigenstate of the auxiliary transfer matrix in this basis are products of functions satisfying the Baxter equation. Such functions are called usually the Q-operators. We investigate the Baxter equation and Q-operators from two points of view. (3) In the model considered the most convenient Bethe-type variables are the zeros of a Wronskian of two well defined particular solutions of the Baxter equation. This approach works perfectly in the thermodynamic limit. We calculate the distribution of these roots in the thermodynamic limit, and so we reproduce in this way the partition function of the model. (4) The real parameter q, which is the standard quantum group parameter, plays the role of the absolute temperature in the model considered. Expansion with respect to q (tropical expansion) gives an alternative way to establish the structure of the eigenstates. In this way we classify the elementary excitations over the ground state.

Lattice local integrable regularization of the Sine-Gordon model

Alexander A. Ovchinnikov

We study the local lattice integrable regularization of the Sine-Gordon model written down in terms of the lattice Bose-operators. We show that the local spin Hamiltonian obtained from the six-vertex model with alternating inhomogeneities in fact leads to the Sine-Gordon in the low-energy limit. We show that the Bethe Ansatz results for this model lead to the correct general relations for different critical exponents of the coupling constant.

On the form factors of local operators in the lattice sine–Gordon model

Nicolas Grosjean, Jean Michel Maillet, Giuliano Niccoli

We develop a method for computing form factors of local operators in the framework of Sklyanin's separation of variables (SOV) approach to quantum integrable systems.For that purpose, we consider the sine-Gordon model on a finite lattice and in finite dimensional cyclic representations as our main example.We first build our two central tools for computing matrix elements of local operators, namely, a generic determinant formula for the scalar products of states in the SOV framework and the reconstruction of local fields in terms of the separate variables.The general form factors are then obtained as sums of determinants of finite dimensional matrices, their matrix elements being given as weighted sums running over the separate variables and involving the Baxter Q-operator eigenvalues.
