Abstract

We propose a set of conventional Bethe ansatz equations and a corresponding expression for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix for the open spin- XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms, provided that the boundary parameters obey a certain linear relation.

Completeness of the Bethe Ansatz solution of the open XXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms

Rafael I. Nepomechie, Francesco Ravanini

A Bethe Ansatz solution of the open spin- XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms has recently been proposed. Using a numerical procedure developed by McCoy et al , we find significant evidence that this solution can yield the complete set of eigenvalues for generic values of the bulk and boundary parameters satisfying one linear relation. Moreover, our results suggest that this solution is practical for investigating the ground state of this model in the thermodynamic limit.

GeneralizedT–Qrelations and the open spin-sXXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms

Rashad Baiyasi, Rajan Murgan

We consider the open spin- s XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms. By exploiting certain functional relations at roots of unity, we derive a generalized form of T – Q relation involving more than one independent Q ( u ), which we use to propose the Bethe-ansatz-type expressions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix. At most two of the boundary parameters are set to be arbitrary and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η = iπ/2,iπ/4,.... We also provide numerical evidence for the completeness of the Bethe-ansatz-type solutions derived, using the s = 1 case as an example.

Bethe ansatz derived from the functional relations of the openXXZchain for new special cases

Rajan Murgan, Rafael I. Nepomechie

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 where all but one of the boundary parameters are zero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter is iπ/3, iπ/5, ....

Bethe Ansatz and boundary energy of the open spin-1/2 XXZ chain

Rajan Murgan

We review recent results on the Bethe Ansatz solutions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of an integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain using functional relations which the transfer matrix obeys at roots of unity. First, we consider a case where at most two of the boundary parameters {{$\\alpha_-$,$\\alpha_+$,$\\beta_-$,$\\beta_+$}} are nonzero. A generalization of the Baxter $T-Q$ equation that involves more than one independent $Q$ is described. We use this solution to compute the boundary energy of the chain in the thermodynamic limit. We conclude the paper with a review of some results for the general integrable boundary terms, where all six boundary parameters are arbitrary.

Bethe ansatz solution of the openXXspin chain with non-diagonal boundary terms

Rafael I. Nepomechie

We consider the integrable open XX quantum spin chain with non-diagonal boundary terms. We derive an exact inversion identity, by which we obtain the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and the Bethe ansatz equations. For generic values of the boundary parameters, the Bethe ansatz solution is formulated in terms of the Jacobian elliptic functions.
