Abstract
We give an infinite volume formulation of quantum inverse scattering method for Heisenberg XXZ model, by making use of Jost solutions of difference equations satisfying prescribed asymptotic boundary conditions. We find operator identities among the Jost solutions which enable us to obtain Gel'fand-Levitan equations more easily than any previous formulations. By solving an integral equation, we express scattering data operators in terms of solely reflection coefficient operators, which are creation and annihilation operators of magnons and their bound states. We also see that when expressed in terms of them, Hamiltonian and other integrals of motion are diagonalized in free bosonic forms so that magnon and their bound states constitute a complete set of bases of Fock space.
