Functional relations and analytic Bethe ansatz for twisted quantum affine algebras
Atsuo Kuniba, Junji Suzuki
Abstract
Functional relations are proposed for transfer matrices of solvable vertex models associated with the twisted quantum affine algebras U_q(X^{(\\kappa)}_n) where X^{(\\kappa)}_n = A^{(2)}_n, D^{(2)}_n, E^{(2)}_6 and D^{(3)}_4. Their solutions are obtained for A^{(2)}_n and conjectured for D^{(3)}_4 in the dressed vacuum form in the analytic Bethe ansatz.
