T − W relation and free energy of the Heisenberg chain at a finite temperature

Abstract

Abstract A new nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) describing the thermodynamics of the Heisenberg spin chain is derived based on the t − W relation of the quantum transfer matrices. The free energy of the system in a magnetic field is thus obtained by solving the NLIE. This method can be generalized to other lattice quantum integrable models. Taking the SU(3)-invariant quantum spin chain as an example, we construct the corre- sponding NLIEs and compute the free energy. The present results coincide exactly with those obtained via other methods previously.

Integral equations for thermodynamics of the osp(1|2s) integrable spin chain

Zengo Tsuboi

We propose a system of nonlinear integral equations (NLIE), which gives the free energy of the osp(1|2s) integrable spin chain at finite temperatures. In contrast with usual thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations, our new NLIE contain only a finite number of unknown functions. On deriving NLIE, we use our osp(1|2s) version of the T-system and the quantum transfer matrix method. Based on our NLIE, we also calculate the high temperature expansion of the free energy and the specific heat.

From the quantum Jacobi–Trudi and Giambelli formula to a nonlinear integral equation for thermodynamics of the higher spin Heisenberg model

Zengo Tsuboi

We propose a nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) with only one unknown function, which gives the free energy of the integrable one-dimensional Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin. In deriving the NLIE, the quantum Jacobi–Trudi and Giambelli formula (Bazhanov–Reshetikhin formula), which gives the solution of the T -system, plays an important role. In addition, we also calculate the high temperature expansion of the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility.

Nonlinear integral equations for thermodynamics of thesl(r 1) Uimin Sutherland model

Zengo Tsuboi

We derive traditional thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations for the sl ( r + 1) Uimin–Sutherland model from the T -system of the quantum transfer matrix. These TBA equations are identical to the those from the string hypothesis. Next we derive a new family of nonlinear integral equations (NLIEs). In particular, a subset of these NLIEs forms a system of NLIEs which contains only a finite number of unknown functions. For r = 1, this subset of NLIEs reduces to Takahashi's NLIE for the XXX spin chain. A relation between the traditional TBA equations and our new NLIEs is clarified. Based on our new NLIEs, we also calculate the high-temperature expansion of the free energy.

Simple Approach to Thermal Bethe Ansatz

Hector J. de Vega

We report on a new approach to the calculation of thermodynamic functions for crossing-invariant models solvable by Bethe Ansatz. In the case of the XXZ Heisenberg chain we derive, for arbitrary values of the anysotropy, a single non-linear integral equation from which the free energy can be exactly calculated.These equations are shown to be equivalent to an infinite set of algebraic equations of Bethe type which provide alternatively the thermodinamics. The high-temperature expansion follows in a sistematic and relatively simple way from our non-linear integral equations. For low temperatures we obtain the correct central charge and predict the analytic structure of the full expansion around T=0. Furthermore, we derive a single non-linear integral equation describing the finite-size ground-state energy of the Sine-Gordon quantum field theory.

THERMODYNAMIC BETHE ANSATZ EQUATION FROM FUSION HIERARCHY OF osp (1|2) INTEGRABLE SPIN CHAIN

KAZUMITSU SAKAI, ZENGO TSUBOI

The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) and the excited state TBA equations for an integrable spin chain related to the Lie superalgebra osp (1|2) are proposed by the quantum transfer matrix (QTM) method. We introduce the fusion hierarchy of the QTM and derive the functional relations among them (T-system) and their certain combinations (Y-system). Their analytical property leads to the nonlinear integral equations which describe the free energy and the correlation length at any finite temperatures. With regard to the free energy, they coincide with the TBA equation based on the string hypothesis.

Thermodynamics of quantum spin chains with competing interactions

T S Tavares, G A P Ribeiro

We consider integrable quantum spin chains with competing interactions. We apply the quantum transfer matrix approach to these spin chains. This allows us to derive a set of nonlinear integral equations for the thermodynamics of these spin chains. We provide numerical solutions of these integral equations for the entropy as a function of magnetic field, temperature and the coupling constant. In addition we describe, at low but finite temperature, the possible scenarios for the ground state diagram for high-spin chain and longer range interchain interactions.
