Abstract

We demonstrate the way in which composition of two famous combinatorial bijections, of Robinson-Schensted and Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin, applied to the Heisenberg model of magnetic ring with spin $1/2$, defines the geography of rigged strings (which lab

Geometry and rigged strings in Bethe Ansatz

Dorota Jakubczyk, Tadeusz Lulek, Paweł Jakubczyk +1 more

The main purpose of this report is a thorough analysis of completeness of solutions of the one-dimensional Heisenberg Hamiltonian through the hypothesis of strings. A somehow astonishing conclusion emerges from studying of the structure of the classical configuration space of this system. Namely, all allowed information concerning quantum states, which are exact solutions of the Bethe equations, encoded in quantum numbers, are predictable via a bijection between the set of the magnetic configurations and the string configurations. This startling and beautiful observation constitutes the proof of the completeness of the eigenstates of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, deduced in a purely combinatorial way. We interpret the set of all magnetic configurations with a fixed number r of spin deviations as the classical configuration space of a hypothetic system of r Bethe pseudoparticles, which move, in a stroboscopic manner, on the magnetic ring. The geometry of this configuration space, induced by the action of Heisenberg Hamiltonian and the translation symmetry group of the ring, implies the structure of a locally r -dimensional hypercubic lattice with well defined F -dimensional boundaries, 1 ⩽ F ⩽ r . We demonstrate that rigged string configurations originate from these boundaries, depending upon the island structure of spin deviations. We show that a relatively simple combinatoric definition of rigged strings reproduces completely exact results of Bethe Ansatz. It is expressed in terms of a combined bijection: Robinson-Schensted with Kerov- Kirillov-Reshetikhin (RSKKR) which produces a geography of exact Bethe Ansatz solutions on the classical configuration space.

A combinatoric description of Bethe Ansatz solutions for nanoscopic systems

Tadeusz Lulek

Abstract Bethe Ansatz provides an exact classification of eigenstates of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian for a finite magnetic ring, consisting of N nodes, each with the spin s = ½ (with some extensions to an arbitrary spin s) in terms of rigged string configurations. The latter are some combinatorial objects which serve as classification labels for solutions of Bethe equations. An astonishing feature is existence of Robinson–Schensted (RS) and Kerov–Kirillov–Reshetikhin (KKR) bijections between sets of (i) all magnetic configurations, (ii) all pairs of standard Young and Weyl tableaux of N boxes and n = 2s + 1 rows, (iii) all rigged string configurations, for given N and s. These bijections allow to point out an exact correspondence between physically admissible solutions of highly nonlinear Bethe Ansatz equations and the initial basis of quantum calculations – magnetic configurations which are just possible distributions of spins over the nodes.

The role of Robinson-Schensted and Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin bijections in Bethe ansatz

Dorota Jakubczyk, Tadeusz Lulek, Paweł Jakubczyk +1 more

The Robinson-Schensted and Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin (RSKKR) bijections allow us to confirm the completeness of solutions of the eigenproblem of the one-dimensional Heisenberg Hamiltonian in a purely combinatorial manner, by studying the structure of the classical configuration space of the system. The combined bijection relates two sets, namely the basis of magnetic configurations and the set of combinatorial objects called rigged string configurations. The former serve as the initial basis for quantum computations, whereas the latter classify the exact Bethe Ansatz (BA) eigenstates. We discuss in this report the application of this bijection in the procedure of construction of two-particle states within Clebsch-Gordan scheme. This bijection provides the irreducible bases for the decomposition of the tensor product of transitive representations R ( Σ N :(Σ N-1 × Σ 1 ) within the scheme of a Hopf algebra of symmetric groups. We point out the role of true physical BA eigenstates, as well as fictituous configurations corresponding to doubly occupied sites (the diagonal of the cartesian square of the one-magnon classical configuration space) and to antisymmetric states.

RIGGED CONFIGURATIONS AND THE BETHE ANSATZ

Anne Schilling

These notes arose from three lectures presented at the Summer School on Theoretical Physics "Symmetry and Structural Properties of Condensed Matter" held in Myczkowce, Poland, on September 11-18, 2002. We review rigged configurations and the Bethe Ansatz. In the first part, we focus on the algebraic Bethe Ansatz for the spin 1/2 XXX model and explain how rigged configurations label the solutions of the Bethe equations. This yields the bijection between rigged configurations and crystal paths/Young tableaux of Kerov, Kirillov and Reshetikhin. In the second part, we discuss a generalization of this bijection for the symmetry algebra $D_n^{(1)}$, based on work in collaboration with Okado and Shimozono.

Quasimomenta of string configurations

Tadeusz Lulek, Barbara Lulek, Paweł Jakubczyk +1 more

We sketch a reciprocal space analogue of the combinatorial bijection of Robinson- Schensted and Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin (RSKKR) between magnetic configurations (the initial basis for quantum calculations of the eigenproblem of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian for a one-dim finite Heisenberg chain), and rigged string configurations (the classification labels for the exact results of Bethe Ansatz). Existence of such a bijection admits an interpretation of the exact quantum numbers of riggings as quasimomenta of l -strings. The extended size of an l -string results in selection rules for these quasimomenta, and thus in a division of the Brillouin zone into compact subzones of forbidden and allowed states of the system of coupled Bethe pseudoparticles. The forbidden Brillouin subzone for a particular l -string is evidently the effect of kinematical restrictions for motions of constituent Bethe pseudoparticles. These restrictions can be easily predicted in a combinatorially unique way due to completness of the RSKKR bijection.
