On the transfer matrix of the supersymmetric eight-vertex model. II. Open boundary conditions

Christian Hagendorf, Jean Liénardy

Abstract The transfer matrix of the square-lattice eight-vertex model on a strip with vertical lines and open boundary conditions is investigated. It is shown that for vertex weights that obey the relation and appropriately chosen K -matrices this transfer matrix possesses the remarkably simple, non-degenerate eigenvalue . For positive vertex weights, is shown to be the largest transfer-matrix eigenvalue. The corresponding eigenspace is equal to the space of the ground states of the Hamiltonian of a related XYZ spin chain. An essential ingredient in the proofs is the supersymmetry of this Hamiltonian.

On the transfer matrix of the supersymmetric eight-vertex model. I. Periodic boundary conditions

Christian Hagendorf, Jean Liénardy

Abstract The square-lattice eight-vertex model with vertex weights a , b , c , d obeying the relation ( a 2 + a b ) ( b 2 + a b ) = ( c 2 + a b ) ( d 2 + a b ) and periodic boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the transfer matrix of the model for L = 2 n + 1 vertical lines and periodic boundary conditions along the horizontal direction possesses the doubly degenerate eigenvalue Θ n = ( a + b ) 2 n + 1 . This proves a conjecture by Stroganov from 2001. The proof uses the supersymmetry of a related XYZ spin-chain Hamiltonian. The eigenstates of the transfer matrix corresponding to Θ n are shown to be the ground states of the spin-chain Hamiltonian. Moreover, for positive vertex weights Θ n is the largest eigenvalue of the transfer matrix.
