The nineteen-vertex model and alternating sign matrices

Abstract

It is shown that the transfer matrix of the inhomogeneous nineteen-vertex model with certain diagonal twisted boundary conditions possesses a simple eigenvalue. This is achieved through the identification of a simple and completely explicit solution of its Bethe equations. The corresponding eigenvector is computed by means of the algebraic Bethe ansatz and both a simple component and its square norm are expressed in terms of the Izergin–Korepin determinant. In the homogeneous limit, the vector coincides with a supersymmetry singlet of the twisted spin-one XXZ chain. It is shown that in a natural polynomial normalisation scheme its square norm and the simple component coincide with generating functions for weighted enumeration of alternating sign matrices.

Bethe Ansatze for Nineteen-vertex Models

A. Lima-Santos

The nineteen-vertex models of Zamolodchikov-Fateev, Izergin-Korepin and the supersymmetric osp(1|2) with periodic boundary conditions are studied. We find the spectrum of these quantum spin chains using the Coordinate Bethe Ansatz. The approche is a suitable parametrization of their wavefunctions. We also applied the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz in order to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding transfer matrices.

Symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices in a nineteen-vertex model

Christian Hagendorf, Alexi Morin-Duchesne

Abstract The nineteen-vertex model of Fateev and Zamolodchikov on a periodic lattice with an anti-diagonal twist is investigated. Its inhomogeneous transfer matrix is shown to have a simple eigenvalue, with the corresponding eigenstate displaying intriguing combinatorial features. Similar results were previously found for the same model with a diagonal twist. The eigenstate for the anti-diagonal twist is explicitly constructed using the quantum separation of variables technique. A number of sum rules and special components are computed and expressed in terms of Kuperberg’s determinants for partition functions of the inhomogeneous six-vertex model. The computations of some components of the special eigenstate for the diagonal twist are also presented. In the homogeneous limit, the special eigenstates become eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians of the integrable spin-one XXZ chain with twisted boundary conditions. Their sum rules and special components for both twists are expressed in terms of generating functions arising in the weighted enumeration of various symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices (ASMs). These include half-turn symmetric ASMs, quarter-turn symmetric ASMs, vertically symmetric ASMs, vertically and horizontally perverse ASMs and double U-turn ASMs. As side results, new determinant and pfaffian formulas for the weighted enumeration of various symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices are obtained.

Bethe ansätze for 19-vertex models

The 19-vertex models of Zalomodchikov-Fateev, Izergin-Korepin and the supersymmetric with periodic boundary conditions are studied. We find the spectrum of these quantum spin chains using the coordinate Bethe ansatz. The approach is a suitable parametrization of their wavefunctions. We also applied the algebraic Bethe ansatz in order to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding transfer matrices.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for 19-vertex models with upper triangularK-matrices

Rodrigo A. Pimenta, A. Lima-Santos

By means of an algebraic Bethe ansatz approach, we study the Zamolodchikov–Fateev and Izergin–Korepin vertex models with non-diagonal boundaries, characterized by reflection matrices with an upper triangular form. Generalized Bethe vectors are used to diagonalize the associated transfer matrix. The eigenvalues as well as the Bethe equations are presented.

The eight-vertex model with quasi-periodic boundary conditions

Giuliano Niccoli, V. Terras

Abstract We study the inhomogeneous eight-vertex model (or equivalently the XYZ Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain) with all kinds of integrable quasi-periodic boundary conditions: periodic, -twisted, -twisted or -twisted. We show that in all these cases but the periodic one with an even number of sites , the transfer matrix of the model is related, by the vertex-IRF transformation, to the transfer matrix of the dynamical six-vertex model with antiperiodic boundary conditions, which we have recently solved by means of Sklyanin’s separation of variables approach. We show moreover that, in all the twisted cases, the vertex-IRF transformation is bijective. This allows us to completely characterize, from our previous results on the antiperiodic dynamical six-vertex model, the twisted eight-vertex transfer matrix spectrum (proving that it is simple) and eigenstates. We also consider the periodic case for odd. In this case we can define two independent vertex-IRF transformations, both not bijective, and by using them we show that the eight-vertex transfer matrix spectrum is doubly degenerate, and that it can, as well as the corresponding eigenstates, also be completely characterized in terms of the spectrum and eigenstates of the dynamical six-vertex antiperiodic transfer matrix. In all these cases we can adapt to the eight-vertex case the reformulations of the dynamical six-vertex transfer matrix spectrum and eigenstates that had been obtained by T – Q functional equations, where the Q -functions are elliptic polynomials with twist-dependent quasi-periods. Such reformulations enable one to characterize the eight-vertex transfer matrix spectrum by the solutions of some Bethe-type equations, and to rewrite the corresponding eigenstates as the multiple action of some operators on a pseudo-vacuum state, in a similar way as in the algebraic Bethe ansatz framework.

Boundary algebraic Bethe Ansatz for a nineteen vertex model with U q [osp(2|2) (2) ] symmetry

R S Vieira, A Lima-Santos

Abstract The boundary algebraic Bethe Ansatz for a supersymmetric nineteen vertex-model constructed from a three-dimensional representation of the twisted quantum affine Lie superalgebra U q [ o s p ( 2 | 2 ) ( 2 ) ] ≃ U q [ C ( 2 ) ( 2 ) ] is presented. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Sklyanin’s transfer matrix, with diagonal reflection K -matrices, are calculated and the corresponding Bethe Ansatz equations are obtained. A numerical analysis for a small-length chain is also presented.
