The $sl_2$ loop algebra symmetry of the XXZ spin chain: an algorithm for the degeneracy of a regular Bethe state(Solvable Lattice Models 2004 : Recent Progress on Solvable Lattice Models )

Abstract
The Hamiltonian of the XXZ spin chain has the $sl_{2}$ loop algebra symmetry if the $q$ parameter is given by a root of unity, $q_{0}^{2N}=1$ , for an integer $N$ .We review an algorithm for determining the dimensions of the degenerate eigenspace generated by a given regular Bethe state in some sectors.The proof of the algorithm has been formulated in Ref.[3] as follows: We show in some sectors that regular Bethe ansatz eigenvectors are highest weight vectors and generate irreducible representations of the $sl_{2}$ loop algebra; We prove that every finite-dimensional highest weight representation of the $sl_{2}$ loop algebra is irreducible; We then derive the dimensions of the highest weight representation generated by a given regular Bethe state through the Drinfeld polynomial, which is expressed explicitly in terms of the Bethe roots.
