Bethe ansatz solvable multi-chain quantum systems

Abstract

In this article we review recent developments in the one-dimensional Bethe ansatz solvable multi-chain quantum models. The algebraic version of the Bethe ansatz (the quantum inverse scattering method) permits us to construct new families of integrable Hamiltonians using simple generalizations of the well known constructions of the single-chain model. First we consider the easiest example (`basic' model) of this class of models: the antiferromagnetic two-chain spin-1/2 model with the nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour spin-frustrating interactions (zigzag chain). We show how the algebra of the quantum inverse scattering method works for this model, and what are the important features of the Hamiltonian (which reveal the topological properties of two dimensions together with the one-dimensional properties). We consider the solution of the Bethe ansatz for the ground state (in particular, commensurate-incommensurate quantum phase transitions present due to competing spin-frustrating interactions are discussed) and construct the thermal Bethe ansatz (in the form of the `quantum transfer matrix') for this model. Then possible generalizations of the basic model are considered: an inclusion of a magnetic anisotropy, higher-spin representations (including the important case of a quantum ferrimagnet), the multi-chain case, internal degrees of freedom of particles at each site, etc. We observe the similarities and differences between this class of models and related exactly solvable models: other groups of multi-chain lattice models, quantum field theory models and magnetic impurity (Kondo-like) models. Finally, the behaviour of non-integrable (less constrained) multi-chain quantum models is discussed.

Models solvable by Bethe Ansatz 1

P. P. Kulish

Diagonalization of integrable spin chain Hamiltonians by the quantum inverse scattering method gives rise to the connection with representation theory of different (quantum) algebras. Extending the Schur-Weyl duality between sl2 and the symmetric group SN from the case of the isotropic spin 1/2 chain (XXX-model) to a general spin chains related to the Temperley-Lieb algebra TLN(q) one finds a new quantum algebra Uq(n) with the representation ring equivalent to the sl2 one.

Integrable quantum model: Biaxial zigzag spin chain

Andrei A. Zvyagin

We present the exact solution for a two-chain quantum spin model with zigzag interactions (or a single chain with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings). Despite the geometrical frustration of the model, the integrability permits us to find an infinite number of integrals of motion using the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Exact results for the ground state energy and elementary excitations are obtained.

Models of Quantum Matter

Hans-Peter Eckle

Abstract This book focuses on the theory of quantum matter, strongly interacting systems of quantum many–particle physics, particularly on their study using exactly solvable and quantum integrable models with Bethe ansatz methods. Part 1 explores the fundamental methods of statistical physics and quantum many–particle physics required for an understanding of quantum matter. It also presents a selection of the most important model systems to describe quantum matter ranging from the Hubbard model of condensed matter physics to the Rabi model of quantum optics. The remaining five parts of the book examines appropriate special cases of these models with respect to their exact solutions using Bethe ansatz methods for the ground state, finite–size, and finite temperature properties. They also demonstrate the quantum integrability of an exemplary model, the Heisenberg quantum spin chain, within the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method and through the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Further models, whose Bethe ansatz solutions are derived and examined, include the Bose and Fermi gases in one dimension, the one–dimensional Hubbard model, the Kondo model, and the quantum Tavis–Cummings model, the latter a model descendent from the Rabi model.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for a spin-½ quantum linear chain with competing interactions

M. A. Rego-Monteiro

We propose a generalization of the formula that gives an integrable quantum 1D spin Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbour interactions as a logarithmic derivative of a vertex model transfer matrix in order to include in this scheme more realistic integrable models. We compute exactly this generalized formula using the R matrix of the XXX model, obtaining the Majumdar-Ghosh Hamiltonian plus a charge-like interaction term. We diagonalize this Hamiltonian using the quantum inverse scattering method and present the Bethe ansatz equations of the model.

On the algebraic Bethe Ansatz approach to the correlation functions of the XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain(Solvable Lattice Models 2004 : Recent Progress on Solvable Lattice Models )

N Kitanine, Jean Michel Maillet, N. A. Slavnov +1 more

We present a review of the method we have elaborated to compute the correlation functions of the $XXZ$ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain.This method is based on the resolution of the quantum inverse scattering problem in the algebraic Bethe Ansatz bamework, and leads to a mul- tiple integral representation of the dynamical correlation functions.We describe in particular some recent advances concerning the two-point functions: in the finite chain, they can be expressed in terms of a single multiple integral.Such a formula provides a direct analytic connection between the previously obtained multiple integral representations and the form factor expansions for the correlation functions.

The Bethe ansatz

Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk

Abstract We give a pedagogical introduction to the Bethe ansatz techniques in integrable QFTs and spin chains. We first discuss and motivate the general framework of asymptotic Bethe ansatz for the spectrum of integrable QFTs in large volume, based on the exact S -matrix. Then we illustrate this method in several concrete theories. The first case we study is the SU (2) chiral Gross–Neveu model. We derive the Bethe equations via algebraic Bethe ansatz, solving in the process the Heisenberg XXX spin chain. We discuss this famous spin chain model in some detail, covering in particular the coordinate Bethe ansatz, some properties of Bethe states, and the classical scaling limit leading to finite-gap equations. Then we proceed to the more involved SU (3) chiral Gross–Neveu model and derive the Bethe equations using nested algebraic Bethe ansatz to solve the arising SU (3) spin chain. Finally we show how a method similar to the Bethe ansatz works in a completely different setting, namely for the 1D oscillator in quantum mechanics.
