Abstract

A bstract We study the thermodynamic limit of the anisotropic XYZ spin chain with non-diagonal integrable open boundary conditions. Although the U(1)-symmetry is broken, by using the new parametrization scheme, we exactly obtain the surface energy and the excitation energy of the system, which has solved the difficulty in the inhomogeneous T − Q relation. With the boundary parameters in the regions making the Hamiltonian Hermitian, we have obtained the distribution patterns of the zeros of the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix for the ground state and the excited ones. We find that the surface and excitation energies depend on the parities of sites number N , due to the long-range Neel order in the bulk. The easy-axis and thermodynamic limit for all the regions of boundary parameters are studied. We also obtain the physical quantities in the thermodynamic limit of boundary XXZ model by taking the trigonometric limit.

Exact physical quantities of the XYZ spin chain in the thermodynamic limit

A bstract The thermodynamic limits of the XYZ spin chain with periodic or twisted boundary conditions are studied. By using the technique of characterizing the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix by the T − Q relation and by the zeros of the associated polynomial, we obtain the constraints of the Bethe roots and the zeros for the eigenvalues. With the help of structure of Bethe roots, we obtain the distribution patterns of zeros. Based on them, the physical quantities such as the surface energy and excitation energy are calculated. We find that both of them depend on the parity of sites number due to the topological long-range Neel order on the Mobius manifold in the spin space. We also check our results with those obtaining by the density matrix renormalization group. The method provided in this paper can be applied to study the thermodynamic properties at the thermal equilibrium state with finite temperature.

Exact surface energy and helical spinons in the XXZ spin chain with arbitrary nondiagonal boundary fields

Yi Qiao, Junpeng Cao, Wen‐Li Yang +2 more

An analytic method is proposed to compute the surface energy and elementary excitations of the XXZ spin chain with generic nondiagonal boundary fields. For the gapped case, in some boundary parameter regimes the contributions of the two boundary fields to the surface energy are nonadditive. Such a correlation effect between the two boundaries also depends on the parity of the site number $N$ even in the thermodynamic limit $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. For the gapless case, contributions of the two boundary fields to the surface energy are additive due to the absence of long-range correlation in the bulk. Although the $U(1)$ symmetry of the system is broken, exact spinonlike excitations, which obviously do not carry spin-$\frac{1}{2}$, are observed. The present method provides a universal procedure to deal with quantum integrable systems either with or without $U(1)$ symmetry.

Surface energy and elementary excitations of the XXZ spin chain with arbitrary boundary fields

Pei Sun, Zhi-Rong Xin, Yi Qiao +5 more

Abstract The thermodynamic properties of the XXZ spin chain with integrable open boundary conditions at the gaped region (i.e. the anisotropic parameter being a real number) are investigated. It is shown that the contribution of the inhomogeneous term in the T − Q relation of the ground state and elementary excited state can be neglected when the size of the system N tends to infinity. The surface energy and elementary excitations induced by the unparallel boundary magnetic fields are obtained.

Thermodynamic limit of the spin-$$ \frac{1}{2} $$ XYZ spin chain with the antiperiodic boundary condition

Zhirong Xin, Yusong Cao, Xiaotian Xu +3 more

Abstract Based on its off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solution, we study the thermodynamic limit of the spin- $$ \frac{1}{2} $$ 1 2 XYZ spin chain with the antiperiodic boundary condition. The key point of our method is that there exist some degenerate points of the crossing parameter ηm,l, at which the associated inhomogeneous T − Q relation becomes a homogeneous one. This makes extrapolating the formulae deriving from the homogeneous one to an arbitrary η with O(N−2) corrections for a large N possible. The ground state energy and elementary excitations of the system are obtained. By taking the trigonometric limit, we also give the results of antiperiodic XXZ spin chain within the gapless region in the thermodynamic limit, which does not have any degenerate points.

Exact surface energy of the D2(1) spin chain with generic non-diagonal boundary reflections

Guang-Liang Li, Yi Qiao, Junpeng Cao +3 more

The exact solution of the D2(1) quantum spin chain with generic non-diagonal boundary reflections is obtained. It is found that the generating functional of conserved quantities of the system can be factorized as the product of transfer matrices of two anisotropic XXZ spin chains with open boundary conditions. By using the factorization identities and the fusion technique, the eigenvalues and the Bethe ansatz equations of the model are obtained. The eigenvalues are also parameterized by the zero roots of the transfer matrix, and the patterns of root distributions are obtained. Based on them, ground states energy and the surface energies induced by the twisted boundary magnetic fields in the thermodynamic limit are obtained. These results are checked by the numerical calculations. The corresponding isotropic limit is also discussed. The results given in this paper are the foundation to study the exact physical properties of high rank Dn(1) model by using the nested processes.

Exact physical quantities of the $$ {D}_2^{(2)} $$ spin chain model with generic open boundary conditions

Pengcheng Lu, Junpeng Cao, Wen‐Li Yang +2 more

A bstract We study the quantum integrable spin chain model associated with the twisted $$ {D}_2^{(2)} $$ D 2 2 algebra (or simply the $$ {D}_2^{(2)} $$ D 2 2 model) under generic open boundary conditions. The Hamiltonian of this model can be factorized into the sum of two staggered XXZ spin chains. Applying the t - W method, we derive the homogeneous Bethe ansatz equations for the zeros of the transfer matrix eigenvalues and the patterns of the corresponding zeros of the staggered XXZ spin chain with generic integrable boundaries. Based on these results, we analytically compute the surface energies and excitation energies of the $$ {D}_2^{(2)} $$ D 2 2 model in different regimes of boundary parameters.
