The quasiclassical asymptotics of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system is studied. Solutions to this system in this limit are related naturally to Bethe vectors in the Gaudin model of spin chains.
Asymptotic solutions to the quantized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation associated with glN+1 are constructed. The leading term of an asymptotic solution is the Bethe vector -- an eigenvector of the transfer-matrix of a quantum spin chain model. We show that the norm of the Bethe vector is equal to the product of the Hessian of a suitable function and an explicitly written rational function. This formula is an analogue of the Gaudin-Korepin formula for the norm of the Bethe vector. It is shown that, generically, the Bethe vectors form a base for the gl2 case.
We give an integral representation for solutions to the quantized Knizhnik- Zamolodchikov equation (qKZ) associated with the Lie algebra glN+1. Asymptotic solutions to qKZ are constructed. The leading term of an asymptotic solution is the Bethe vector -- an eigenvector of the transfer-matrix of a quantum spin chain model. We show that the norm of the Bethe vector is equal to the product of the Hessian of a suitable function and an explicitly written rational function. This formula is a generalization of the Gaudin-Korepin formula for a norm of the Bethe vector. We show that, generically, the Bethe vectors form a base for the gl2 case.
The Gaudin model has been revisited many times, yet some important issues remained open so far. With this paper we aim to properly address its certain aspects, while clarifying, or at least giving a solid ground to some other. Our main contribution is establishing the relation between the off-shell Bethe vectors with the solutions of the corresponding Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations for the non-periodic sℓ(2) Gaudin model, as well as deriving the norm of the eigenvectors of the Gaudin Hamiltonians. Additionally, we provide a closed form expression also for the scalar products of the off-shell Bethe vectors. Finally, we provide explicit closed form of the off-shell Bethe vectors, together with a proof of implementation of the algebraic Bethe ansatz in full generality.
