Abstract

We briefly review Bethe Ansatz solutions of the integrable open spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain derived from functional relations obeyed by the transfer matrix at roots of unity.

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 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, ....

Exact solution of the open XXZ chain with general integrable boundary terms at roots of unity

Murgan, R, Nepomechie, R I, Shi, C

We propose a Bethe-Ansatz-type solution of the open spin-1/2 integrable XXZ quantum spin chain with general integrable boundary terms and bulk anisotropy values i \\pi/(p+1), where p is a positive integer. All six boundary parameters are arbitrary, and need not satisfy any constraint. The solution is in terms of generalized T - Q equations, having more than one Q function. We find numerical evidence that this solution gives the complete set of 2^N transfer matrix eigenvalues, where N is the number of spins.

Bethe ansatz solution of the open XXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms

Rafael I. Nepomechie

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.
