Abstract

Abstract We study the partition function of the six-vertex model in the rational limit on arbitrary Baxter lattices with reflecting boundary. Every such lattice is interpreted as an invariant of the twisted Yangian. This identification allows us to relate the partition function of the vertex model to the Bethe wave function of an open spin chain. We obtain the partition function in terms of creation operators on a reference state from the algebraic Bethe ansatz and as a sum of permutations and reflections from the coordinate Bethe ansatz.

Perimeter Bethe ansatz

R. J. Baxter

The partition function of a finite Z-invariant six-vertex lattice model (with a prescribed arrow configuration at the boundary) is given. The expression is of the same type that occurs in the Bethe ansatz, but there are no 'wavenumber' equations to solve.

An introduction to the algebraic Bethe ansatz

James Plunkett, Omar E. Foda

The algebraic Bethe ansatz is one of the main approaches to solving integrable models in statistical mechanics. This thesis is a detailed introduction to aspects of this technique. In chapter 1, following Takhtajan1, we fully explain all preliminaries that are required by this technique in the context of the 8-vertex model, including the solution of the Yang-Baxter equations in terms of Boltzmann weights that are parameterized by elliptic function. In chapter 2, also following Takhtajan, we restrict our attention to the special case of the 6-vertex model, with Boltzmann weights parameterized by hyperbolic trigonometric functions, formulate the model in detail on a finite lattice with periodic boundary conditions, and show how the algebraic Bethe ansatz can be used to characterize the eigenvectors and eigenvalues, in the homogeneous case (all vertical rapidities are equal, and all horizontal rapidities are also equal). In chapter 3, following Bogoliubov et al2, we consider the 6-vertex model in inhomogeneous case (all rapidities are now independenti variables) but with domain wall boundary conditions. Using the algebraic Bethe ansatz, and Izergin’s result for the partition function, we calculate boundary 1-point functions of the six-vertex model on a finite lattice and represent them in determinant form.

Properties of eigenstates of the six-vertex model with twisted and open boundary conditions

Heng Fan, Bo-Yu Hou, Kangjie Shi

We use the method proposed by Izergin and Korepin to discuss the Bethe ansatz equations of the six-vertex model with twisted and open boundary conditions. Let two parameters of the Bethe wave functions be equal, then an additional Bethe ansatz equation arises. For the open boundary condition case, we also have discussed the dual pseudovacuum state and have written out the simplest scalar products of the Bethe wave function.

Open spin chains with generic integrable boundaries: Baxter equation and Bethe ansatz completeness from separation of variables

N Kitanine, Jean Michel Maillet, Giuliano Niccoli

We solve the longstanding problem of defining a functional characterization of the spectrum of the transfer matrix associated with the most general spin-1/2 representations of the six-vertex reflection algebra for general inhomogeneous chains. The corresponding homogeneous limit reproduces the spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the spin-1/2 open XXZ and XXX quantum chains with the most general integrable boundaries. The spectrum is characterized by a second order finite difference functional equation of Baxter type with an inhomogeneous term which vanishes only for some special but yet interesting non-diagonal boundary conditions. This functional equation is shown to be equivalent to the known separation of variables (SOV) representation, hence proving that it defines a complete characterization of the transfer matrix spectrum. The polynomial form of the Q -function allows us to show that a finite system of generalized Bethe equations can also be used to describe the complete transfer matrix spectrum.

Cylinder partition function of the 6-vertex model from algebraic geometry

Zoltán Bajnok, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, Yunfeng Jiang +2 more

Abstract We compute the exact partition function of the isotropic 6-vertex model on a cylinder geometry with free boundary conditions, for lattices of intermediate size, using Bethe ansatz and algebraic geometry. We perform the computations in both the open and closed channels. We also consider the partial thermodynamic limits, whereby in the open (closed) channel, the open (closed) direction is kept small while the other direction becomes large. We compute the zeros of the partition function in the two partial thermodynamic limits, and compare with the condensation curves.

Functional relations for the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions

W. Galléas

In this work we demonstrate that the Yang–Baxter algebra can also be employed in order to derive a functional relation for the partition function of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. The homogeneous limit is studied for small lattices and the properties determining the partition function are also discussed.
