Bethe ansatz study for ground state of Fateev Zamolodchikov model
Subhankar Ray
Abstract
A Bethe ansatz study of a self-dual ZN spin lattice model, originally proposed by V. A. Fateev and A. B. Zamolodchikov, is undertaken. The connection of this model to the Chiral Potts model is established. Transcendental equations connecting the zeros of Fateev–Zamolodchikov transfer matrix are derived. The free energies for the ferromagnetic and the anti-ferromagnetic ground states are found for both even and odd spins.
