On factorizingF-matrices in \mathcal {Y}(sl_n) and \mathcal {U}_q(\widehat {sl_n}) spin chains
S G McAteer, M Wheeler
Abstract
We consider quantum spin chains arising from N -fold tensor products of the fundamental evaluation representations of and . Using the partial F -matrix formalism from the seminal work of Maillet and Sanchez de Santos, we derive a completely factorized expression for the F -matrix of such models and prove its equivalence to the expression obtained by Albert, Boos, Flume and Ruhlig. A new relation between the F -matrices and the Bethe eigenvectors of these spin chains is given.
