Motions of the String Solutions in the XXZ Spin Chain Under a Varying Twist

Abstract

We determine the motions of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equation for the ground state in the XXZ spin chain under a varying twist angle. This is done by analytic as well as numerical study in a finite size system. In the attractive critical regime 0 < Δ < 1, we reveal intriguing motions of strings due to the finite size corrections to the length of the strings: in the case of two-strings, the roots collide into the branch points perpendicularly to the imaginary axis, while in the case of three-strings, they fluctuate around the center of the string. These are successfully generalized to the case of n-string. These results are used to determine the final configuration of the momenta as well as that of the phase shift functions. We obtain these as well as the period and the Berry phase in the regime Δ ≤ -1 also, establishing the continuity of the previous results at -1 < Δ < 0 to this regime. We argue that the Berry phase can be used as a measure of the statistics of the quasiparticle (or the bound state) involved in the process.

In the attractive critical regime 0< \\Delta <1 , we reveal intriguing motions of strings due to the finite size corrections to the length of the strings: in the case of two strings, the roots collide into the branch points perpendicularly to the imaginary axis, while in the case of three strings, they fluctuate around the center of the string. These are successfully generalized to the case of n-string. These results are used to determine the final configuration of the momenta as well as that of the phase shift functions.

Excited States in the Twisted XXZ Spin Chain

Tarek Nassar, Olav Tirkkonen

We compute the finite size spectrum for the spin 1/2 XXZ chain with twisted boundary conditions, for anisotropy in the regime 0 < γ < π/2, and arbitrary twist θ. The string hypothesis is employed for treating complex excitations. The Bethe Ansatz equtions are solved within a coupled non-linear integral equation approach, with one equation for each type of string. The root-of-unity quantum group invariant periodic chain reduces to the XXZ1/2 chain with a set of twist boundary conditions (π/γ ∈ ZZ, θ an integer multiple of γ). For this model, the restricted Hilbert space corresponds to an unitary conformal field theory, and we recover all primary states in the Kač table in terms of states with specific twist and strings.

Solution of the Bethe ansatz equations with complex roots for finite size: the spin S1 isotropic and anisotropic chains

Hector J. de Vega, Ferenc Woynarovich

The Bethe ansatz equations for spin-S (S>or=1) integrable vertex models (and magnetic chains) where the ground state is formed by complex roots are investigated for finite-size N. It is shown that the finite-size corrections to the imaginary parts of the roots (Bethe strings) for N>>1 are given by alpha m /(N sigma ( eta )) where eta is the real part of the roots, sigma ( eta ) is the density of the real parts, and m is the index of a root within a string. The constants alpha m are determined by a set of algebraic equations, and are given explicitly by alpha m =1/ pi ln cos(1/2 pi (S-m-1)/(S+1))/cos(1/2 pi (S-m)/(S+1)). For the best known, S=1, case alpha 0 =ln 2/(2 pi ). These results are found through a generalisation of the Euler-Maclaurin formula including nonanalytic contributions in N -1 which turn out to be essential in the solution of the present problem.

An analytic treatment of finite-size corrections in the spin-1 antiferromagnetic XXZ chain

Andreas Klümper, Murray T. Batchelor

It is known that the standard method for calculating finite-size corrections in Bethe ansatz solvable systems is not applicable to the Takhtajan-Babujian model and its anisotropic XXZ generalisation. The authors develop a new analytic method explicitly avoiding root densities and associated problems. Nonlinear integral equations are derived whose solutions yield the correct central charges c=1 and c=3/2 for the spin-1/2 and spin-1 XXZ chains, respectively. In the spin-1 case the authors obtain as a by-product the finite-size deviation of the Bethe ansatz roots from the 2-string formation.

Finite-size effects in the integrable XXZ Heisenberg model with arbitrary spin

Holger Frahm, Naichang Yu

The finite-size effects in the spectrum of the integrable XXZ Heisenberg chain with arbitrary spin-S are studied analytically on the basis of the string hypothesis for bound states and numerically by solving the associated Bethe ansatz equations. The finite-size corrections to the spectrum and to the low-temperature behaviour of the free energy are found to be similar to the universal predictions for conformally invariant theories, although the model is, in general, not Lorentz invariant, since it can have an arbitrary number of branches for low-energy excitations with different Fermi velocities depending on the value of S and the anisotropy parameter gamma .
