Exact integral representations of spin one-point functions (ground state expectation values) are reported for the spin-1 analog of the XXZ model in the region $-1
We review some recent advances in the computation of exact correlation functions of the XXZ-½ Heisenberg chain. We first give a general introduction to our method which is based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz and the resolution of the quantum inverse scattering problem, leading in particular to multiple integral representations for the correlation functions. Then we describe recently obtained compact formulas for the spin-spin correlation functions of the XXZ-½ Heisenberg chain. We outline how this leads to several explicit results including the known two point functions in the limit of free fermions, the so-called emptiness formation probability at anisotropy Δ=1/2 and its large distance asymptotic behaviour in the massless phase of the model.
For the integrable higher-spin XXX and XXZ spin chains we present multiple-integral representations for the correlation function of an arbitrary product of Hermitian elementary matrices in the massless ground state. We give a formula expressing it by a single term of multiple integrals. In particular, we explicitly derive the emptiness formation probability (EFP). We assume 2s-strings for the ground-state solution of the Bethe-ansatz equations for the spin-s XXZ chain, and solve the integral equations for the spin-s Gaudin matrix. In terms of the XXZ coupling Δ we define ζ by Δ=cosζ, and put it in a region 0⩽ζ<π/2s of the gapless regime: −1<Δ⩽1 (0⩽ζ<π), where Δ=1 (ζ=0) corresponds to the antiferromagnetic point. We calculate the zero-temperature correlation functions by the algebraic Bethe-ansatz, introducing the Hermitian elementary matrices in the massless regime, and taking advantage of the fusion construction of the R-matrix of the higher-spin representations of the affine quantum group.
We show some symmetry relations among the correlation functions of the integrable higher-spin XXX and XXZ spin chains, where we explicitly evaluate the multiple integrals representing the one-point functions in the spin-1 case.We review the multipleintegral representations of correlation functions for the integrable higher-spin XXZ chains derived in a region of the massless regime including the anti-ferromagnetic point.Here we make use of the gauge transformations between the symmetric and asymmetric R-matrices, which correspond to the principal and homogeneous gradings, respectively, and we send the inhomogeneous parameters to the set of complete 2s-strings.We also give a numerical support for the analytical expression of the one-point functions in the spin-1 case.
