The shift operators for XXX-Heisenberg chain are found. They are formed by local Yangian operators and the amplitutes of the eigenfunctions obeying Bethe ansatz for the Hamiltonian. The physical implication of the shift operators are also explained.
We propose a generalization of the algebraic Bethe ansatz to obtain the eigenvectors of the Heisenberg spin chain with general boundaries associated to the eigenvalues and the Bethe equations found recently by Cao et al.The ansatz takes the usual form of a product of operators acting on a particular vector except that the number of operators is equal to the length of the chain.We prove this result for the chains with small length.We obtain also an off-shell equation (i.e.satisfied without the Bethe equations) formally similar to the ones obtained in the periodic case or with diagonal boundaries.
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.
We investigate Bethe Ansatz equations for the one-dimensional spin-21 Heisenberg XXX chain with a special interest in a finite system. Solutions for the two-particle sector are obtained. The ground state in antiferromagnetic case has been analytically studied through the logarithmic form of Bethe Ansatz equations.
A unified treatment is developed for the XXX-Heisenberg model and a long-ranged interaction model (the H2 in Haldane-Shastry model) from the point of view of shift operators (or raising and lowering operators), based on which the energy spectra of the spin-chain models are determined. Some physical discussions are also made.
