Abstract

The Bethe ansatz solutions for an open XXZ spin chain with arbitrary spin with N sites and nondiagonal boundary terms are revisited. The anisotropy parameter, for cases considered here, has values , where r and q are positive integers with q restricted to odd integers. Numerical results are presented to support the solutions.

Completeness of the Bethe Ansatz solution of the open XXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms

Rafael I. Nepomechie, Francesco Ravanini

A Bethe Ansatz solution of the open spin- XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms has recently been proposed. Using a numerical procedure developed by McCoy et al , we find significant evidence that this solution can yield the complete set of eigenvalues for generic values of the bulk and boundary parameters satisfying one linear relation. Moreover, our results suggest that this solution is practical for investigating the ground state of this model in the thermodynamic limit.

Exact solution of the open XXZ chain with general integrable boundary terms at roots of unity

Rajan Murgan, Rafael I. Nepomechie, Chi Shi

We propose a Bethe-ansatz-type solution of the open spin-1/2 integrable XXZ quantum spin chain with general integrable boundary terms and bulk anisotropy values iπ/( p +1), where p is a positive integer. All six boundary parameters are arbitrary, and need not satisfy any constraint. The solution is in terms of generalized T – Q equations, having more than one Q function. We find numerical evidence that this solution gives the complete set of 2 N transfer matrix eigenvalues, where N is the number of spins.

We propose a set of conventional Bethe ansatz equations and a corresponding expression for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix for the open spin- XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms, provided that the boundary parameters obey a certain linear relation.

GeneralizedT–Qrelations and the open spin-sXXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms

Rashad Baiyasi, Rajan Murgan

We consider the open spin- s XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms. By exploiting certain functional relations at roots of unity, we derive a generalized form of T – Q relation involving more than one independent Q ( u ), which we use to propose the Bethe-ansatz-type expressions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix. At most two of the boundary parameters are set to be arbitrary and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η = iπ/2,iπ/4,.... We also provide numerical evidence for the completeness of the Bethe-ansatz-type solutions derived, using the s = 1 case as an example.

A complete Bethe ansatz solution for the open spin-s XXZchain with general integrable boundary terms

L. Frappat, Rafael I. Nepomechie, E. Ragoucy

We consider the open spin- s XXZ quantum spin chain with N sites and general integrable boundary terms for generic values of the bulk anisotropy parameter, and for values of the boundary parameters which satisfy a certain constraint. We derive two sets of Bethe ansatz equations, and find numerical evidence that together they give the complete set of (2 s +1) N eigenvalues of the transfer matrix. For the case of s = 1, we explicitly determine the Hamiltonian, and find an expression for its eigenvalues in terms of Bethe roots.
