Jordan blocks and the Bethe ansatz III: Class 5 model and its symmetries

Abstract

We study the Hilbert space of the Class 5 model described in arXiv:1904.12005. Despite being integrable, neither its transfer matrix nor its Hamiltonian are diagonalisable, meaning that the usual Algebraic Bethe Ansatz does not provide the full Hilbert space. Instead, we make use of the symmetries of the model to construct the Jordan blocks of the transfer matrix. We also show that the Hamiltonian and the transfer matrix, despite commuting, do not have the same Jordan block structure.

The algebraic Bethe Ansatz and combinatorial trees

R. S. Vieira, A. Lima-Santos

We study in this article the algebraic Bethe Ansatz from a combinatorial perspective.The commutation relations are represented by combinatorial diagrams so that the action of the transfer matrix over the nth excited state can be found through the analysis of some combinatorial trees.This allows us to compute the eigenvalues and eigenstates of the transfer matrix, as well as the respective Bethe Ansatz equations, in a straightforward way.As examples, we consider the six-vertex model with both periodic and non-periodic boundary conditions.In parallel, we also present a comprehensive introduction to the usual algebraic Bethe Ansatz (for both the periodic and the non-periodic cases).

The Algebraic Bethe Ansatz

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

Introduction The algebraic Bethe Ansatz is presented in this chapter. This is an important generalization of the coordinate Bethe Ansatz presented in Part I, and is one of the essential achievements of QISM. The algebraic Bethe Ansatz is based on the idea of constructing eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian via creation and annihilation operators acting on a pseudovacuum. The matrix elements of the monodromy matrix play the role of these operators. The transfer matrix (the sum of the diagonal elements of the monodromy matrix) commutes with the Hamiltonian; thus constructing eigenfunctions of τ(µ) determines the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian. The basis of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz is stated in section 1. The commutation relations between matrix elements of the monodromy matrix are specified by the R-matrix. The explicit form of the commutation relations allows the construction of eigenfunctions of the transfer matrix (the trace of the monodromy matrix). (Recall that the Hamiltonian may also be obtained from the transfer matrix via the trace identities.) Further developments of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz necessary for the computation of correlation functions are given in section 2. The general scheme is illustrated with some examples in section 3. The NS model, the sine-Gordon model and spin models are considered in detail. The Pauli principle for interacting one-dimensional bosons plays an important role in constructing the ground state of the system and is discussed in section 4. The eigenvalues of the shift operator acting on the monodromy matrix are calculated in section 5.

Integrability in three dimensions: Algebraic Bethe ansatz for anyonic models

Sh. Khachatryan, A. Ferraz, Andreas Klümper +1 more

We extend basic properties of two dimensional integrable models within the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz approach to 2+1 dimensions and formulate the sufficient conditions for the commutativity of transfer matrices of different spectral parameters, in analogy with Yang–Baxter or tetrahedron equations. The basic ingredient of our models is the R-matrix, which describes the scattering of a pair of particles over another pair of particles, the quark-anti-quark (meson) scattering on another quark-anti-quark state. We show that the Kitaev model belongs to this class of models and its R-matrix fulfills well-defined equations for integrability.

Jordan blocks and the Bethe Ansatz I: The eclectic spin chain as a limit

Juan Miguel Nieto García, Leander Wyss

We present a procedure to extract the generalised eigenvectors of a non-diagonalisable matrix by considering a diagonalisable perturbation of it and computing the non-diagonalisable limit of its eigenvectors. As an example of this process, we compute a subset of the spectrum of the eclectic spin chain by means of the Nested Coordinate Bethe Ansatz. This allows us to show that the Bethe Ansatz of the finitely twisted spin chain contains enough information to reconstruct the generalised eigenvectors of the eclectic spin chain.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz

Gleb Eduardovich Arutyunov

This chapter addresses the long-standing challenge of constructing the Bethe wave function in large but finite volumes via the diagonalization of the transfer matrix within the spin representation. While the coordinate Bethe ansatz provides effective tools for specific models, it becomes increasingly cumbersome in systems with internal degrees of freedom, such as the Lieb–Liniger model. The algebraic Bethe ansatz offers a more general and systematic framework, particularly well suited for handling nested structures. Spin chains serve as a natural setting for this formalism, offering both mathematical richness and physical relevance as models of interacting quantum spins. Starting from the Heisenberg spin chain, the chapter introduces the algebraic structure underpinning the method, including the R -matrix formulation, quantum group symmetries, and the construction of the transfer matrix. To connect the algebraic formalism with thermodynamic behavior, the chapter explores the string hypothesis, which organizes solutions to the Bethe equations into regular complex patterns. This leads naturally to the Bethe–Takahashi equations, which govern the thermodynamic limit of integrable spin chains. These tools enable a tractable analysis of excited states and physical observables, establishing a foundation for applying the algebraic Bethe ansatz to a broader class of quantum integrable systems.

New class oN of statistical models: Transfer matrix eigenstates, chain Hamiltonians, factorizable S matrix

B. Abdesselam, Amitabha Chakrabarti

Statistical models corresponding to a new class of braid matrices (ôN;N⩾3) presented in a previous paper are studied. Indices labeling states spanning the Nr dimensional base space of T(r)(θ), the rth order transfer matrix are so chosen that the operators W (the sum of the state labels) and (CP) (the circular permutation of state labels) commute with T(r)(θ). This drastically simplifies the construction of eigenstates, reducing it to solutions of relatively small number of simultaneous linear equations. Roots of unity play a crucial role. Thus for diagonalizing the 81 dimensional space for N=3, r=4, one has to solve a maximal set of five linear equations. A supplementary symmetry relates invariant subspaces pairwise [W=(r,Nr) and so on] so that only one of each pair needs study. The case N=3 is studied fully for r=(1,2,3,4). Basic aspects for all (N,r) are discussed. Full exploitation of such symmetries lead to a formalism quite different from, possibly generalized, algebraic Bethe ansatz. Chain Hamiltonians are studied. The specific types of spin flips they induce and propagate are pointed out. The inverse Cayley transform of the YB matrix giving the potential leading to factorizable S matrix is constructed explicitly for N=3 as also the full set of R̂tt relations. Perspectives are discussed in a final section.
