Baxter's method for XXZ model
Robert B. Jones
Abstract
It is shown that Baxter's method when applied to the XXZ hamiltonian gives a set of eigenvectors and wavenumbers different from those of the familiar Bethe solution. In this limiting case of Baxter's results for the eight-vertex model the author finds that one of Baxter's parameters corresponds to the freedom of making arbitrary rotations about the z axis. It is suggested that for the general XXZ hamiltonian there may be a generalization of the ordinary z component of spin which would be conserved in addition to Baxter's quantum number.
