How Algebraic Bethe Ansatz works for integrable model

Abstract

I study the technique of Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for solving integrable models and show how it works in detail on the simplest example of spin 1/2 XXX magnetic chain. Several other models are treated more superficially, only the specific details are given. Several parameters, appearing in these generalizations: spin $s$, anisotropy parameter $\ga$, shift $\om$ in the alternating chain, allow to include in our treatment most known examples of soliton theory, including relativistic model of Quantum Field Theory.

The Bethe ansatz

Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk

Abstract We give a pedagogical introduction to the Bethe ansatz techniques in integrable QFTs and spin chains. We first discuss and motivate the general framework of asymptotic Bethe ansatz for the spectrum of integrable QFTs in large volume, based on the exact S -matrix. Then we illustrate this method in several concrete theories. The first case we study is the SU (2) chiral Gross–Neveu model. We derive the Bethe equations via algebraic Bethe ansatz, solving in the process the Heisenberg XXX spin chain. We discuss this famous spin chain model in some detail, covering in particular the coordinate Bethe ansatz, some properties of Bethe states, and the classical scaling limit leading to finite-gap equations. Then we proceed to the more involved SU (3) chiral Gross–Neveu model and derive the Bethe equations using nested algebraic Bethe ansatz to solve the arising SU (3) spin chain. Finally we show how a method similar to the Bethe ansatz works in a completely different setting, namely for the 1D oscillator in quantum mechanics.

Bethe Ansatz

Gleb Eduardovich Arutyunov

The Bethe Ansatz is a powerful method in the theory of quantum integrable models, essential for determining the energy spectrum of dynamical systems - from spin chains in magnetism to models in high-energy physics. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Bethe ansatz, from its historical roots to modern developments. First introduced by Hans Bethe in 1931, the method has evolved into a universal framework encompassing algebraic, analytic, thermodynamic, and functional forms. The book explores various Bethe ansatz techniques and their interrelations, covering both coordinate and algebraic versions, with particular attention to nested structures and functional relations involving transfer matrices. Advanced tools such as the separation of variables method are presented in detail. With a wealth of worked examples and precise calculations, this volume serves as an accessible and rigorous reference for graduate students and researchers in mathematical physics and integrable systems.

Algebraic and Functional Bethe Ansatz for the Integrable XXX Spin Chain

Patrick Kaftan

Properties of the XXX spin chain will be obtained through quantum inverse scattering methods. Starting with the one dimensional homogeneous model, the algebraic Bethe ansatz will be applied to obtain the Hamiltonian and corresponding spectrum of the system. The model will be expanded into the inhomogeneous spin chain for the application of the functional Bethe ansatz. Comparing the results of both methods we obtain the full set of mathematical properties of the spin chain.

Integrable quantum spin chains

Anastasia Doikou

Integrable quantum spin chains are exactly solvable quantum mechanical models of N quantum spins, of which the Heisenberg model solved by Bethe is the prototype. In the antiferromagnetic regime, such spin chains can be regarded as lattice versions of corresponding integrable relativistic quantum field theories. For integrable spin chains, quantities of physical interest (spectrum, S matrix, etc.) can be calculated exactly by direct means, starting from the microscopic Hamiltonian, while for the corresponding field theories, such exact information has been primarily obtained by indirect means, such as the “ bootstrap ” approach and semiclassical approximations. We have been focused basically on the Heisenberg XXX and XXZ chains and their generalizations. Basic aims of this work were the study of the symmetries of these models and the computation, by means of Bethe ansatz equations, of the bulk and boundary S matrices for the closed and open chains respectively...

ALGEBRAIC ASPECTS OF THE BETHE ANSATZ

L. D. Faddeev

In this article an introduction to the algebraic aspects of the Bethe ansatz is given. The applications to the seminal spin 1/2 XXX model are discussed in detail and the generalization to higher spin as well as XXZ and the lattice sine-Gordon model are indicated. The origin of quantum groups and their appearance in CFT models are explained. The text can be considered as a guide to the research papers in this field.
