Abstract

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain are not exactly soluble by using of the Bethe Ansatz method. As an attempt, we propose a new format of the basic states and derive the exact solutions for the two-spin-flip number problem of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain. We discuss qualitatively some basic features of the above model for different types of wave number values.

Exact quantum numbers of collapsed and non-collapsed two-string solutions in the spin-1/2 Heisenberg spin chain

Tetsuo Deguchi, Pulak Ranjan Giri

Abstract Every solution of the Bethe-ansatz equations (BAEs) is characterized by a set of quantum numbers, by which we can evaluate it numerically. However, no general rule is known how to give quantum numbers for the physical solutions of BAE. For the spin-1/2 XXX chain we rigorously derive all the quantum numbers for the complete set of the Bethe-ansatz eigenvectors in the two down-spin sector with any chain length N . Here we obtain them both for real and complex solutions. We also show that all the solutions associated with them are distinct. Consequently, we prove the completeness of the Bethe ansatz and give an exact expression for the number of real solutions which correspond to collapsed bound-state solutions (i.e., two-string solutions) in the sector: in terms of Gauss’ symbol. Moreover, we prove in the sector the scheme conjectured by Takahashi for solving BAE systematically. We also suggest that by applying the present method we can derive the quantum numbers for the spin-1/2 XXZ chain.

Origin of the singular Bethe ansatz solutions for the Heisenberg XXZ spin chain

Jae Dong Noh, Deok‐Sun Lee, Doochul Kim +1 more

We investigate symmetry properties of the Bethe ansatz wave functions for the Heisenberg XXZ spin chain. The XXZ Hamiltonian commutes simultaneously with the shift operator T and the lattice inversion operator V in the space of Ω=±1 with Ω the eigenvalue of T. We show that the Bethe ansatz solutions with normalizable wave functions cannot be the eigenstates of T and V with quantum number (Ω, ϒ)=(±1, ∓1) where ϒ is the eigenvalue of V. Therefore, the Bethe ansatz wave functions should be singular for nondegenerate eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with quantum number (Ω, ϒ)=(±1, ∓1). It is also shown that such states exist in any nontrivial down-spin number sector and that the number of them diverges exponentially with the chain length.

Exact Bethe quantum numbers of the massive XXZ chain in the two down-spin sector

Takashi Imoto, Tetsuo Deguchi

Abstract Every solution of the Bethe ansatz equations (BAEs) is characterized by a set of quantum numbers called the Bethe quantum numbers, which are fundamental for evaluating each Bethe root numerically. We rigorously derive the Bethe quantum numbers for the real solutions of the spin-1/2 massive XXZ spin chain in the two down-spin sector, assuming the existence of solutions to some form of BAE. In the sector the quantum numbers J 1 and J 2 were derived for complex solutions, but not for real solutions. We show the exact results in the sector as follows. (i) When two Bethe quantum numbers are different, i.e. for J 1 ≠ J 2 , we introduce a graphical method, which we call a contour method, for deriving the solution of BAE to a given set of Bethe quantum numbers. By the method, we can readily show the existence and the uniqueness of the solution. (ii) When two Bethe quantum numbers are equal, i.e. for J 1 = J 2 , we derive the criteria for the collapse of two-strings and the emergence of an extra two-string by an analytic method. (iii) We obtain the number of real solutions, which depends on the site number N and the XXZ anisotropy parameter ζ. (iv) We derive all infinite-valued solutions of BAE for the XXX spin chain in the two down-spin sector through the XXX limit. (v) We explicitly show the completeness of the Bethe ansatz in terms of the Bethe quantum numbers.

One-Dimensional Heisenberg Model. I: Exact Spin Eigenstates

T. Kebukawa

In a system of N spins ordered on a linear chain, an eigenvalue problem for the square and z-component of a total spin operator is solved exactly by using the Bethe ansatz. It is shown that the eigenstates are given by the solutions of coupled equations. For a given eigenvalue of the square of the total spin, the eigenstates for various eigenvalues of the z-component are expressed in a systematic and compact form.

Elementary Bethe Ansatz solution of two lattice spin models

Paul Bracken

A simple detailed derivation is given of the Bethe Ansatz solution and the raising operator condition on the amplitudes of the wave function that demands that this state be a highest weight state for the one-dimensional Heisenberg model. This is extended to the case of a single spin impurity on the lattice. The equivalent form of the Ansatz is derived, and several properties of the associated eigenvalue problem are developed.

Bethe Ansatz for the Anisotropic Heisenberg Quantum Spin Chain

Hans-Peter Eckle

Abstract This chapter verifies the conjecture for the wave function, the Bethe ansatz wave function, of the anisotropic Heisenberg quantum spin chain by examining first the cases for one, two, and three spin deviations. The equations determining the quasi- momenta are the Bethe ansatz equations, now obtained from the coordinate Bethe ansatz. The Bethe ansatz equations derive from the eigenvalue equation in combination with boundary conditions, here periodic boundary conditions. These quasi-momenta also determine the energy eigenvalue. However, solving the Bethe ansatz equations to obtain a particular state requires more considerations. New variables, called rapidities, are useful. The consideration of the thermodynamic limit then allows to extract information about the ground state and low-lying excitations of the anisotropic quantum spin chain from the Bethe ansatz equations. Furthermore, complex solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations, called strings, are considered.
