Explicit Plancherel theorem for ground state representation of the Heisenberg chain

Donald G. Babbitt, Lawrence E. Thomas

In its ground state representation, the infinite spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain provides a model for spin wave scattering that entails many features of the quantum mechanical N-body problem. Here, we give a complete eigenfunction expansion for the Hamiltonian of the chain in this representation, for all numbers of spin waves. Our results resolve the questions of completeness and orthogonality of the eigenfunctions given by Bethe for finite chains, in the infinite volume limit.

Introduction to the Bethe ansatz I

Michael Karbach, Gerhard H. Muller

The Bethe ansatz for the one-dimensional s=1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet is introduced at an elementary level. The presentation follows Bethe's original work very closely. A detailed description and a complete classification of all two-magnon scattering states and two-magnon bound states are given for finite and infinite chains. The paper is designed as a tutorial for beginning graduate students. It includes 10 problems for further study.
