Bethe Ansatz from functional relations of open XXZ chain for new special cases
Rajan Murgan, Rafael I. Nepomechie
Abstract
The transfer matrix of the general integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain obeys certain functional relations at roots of unity. By exploiting these functional relations, we determine the Bethe Ansatz solution for the transfer matrix eigenvalues for the special cases that all but one of the boundary parameters are zero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter is i\\pi/3, i\\pi/5 ,...
