Correlation functions of the higher spinXXXchains
N Kitanine
Abstract
Using the algebraic Bethe ansatz, we consider the correlation functions of the integrable higher spin chains. We apply a method recently developed for the spin ½ Heisenberg chain, based on the solution of the quantum inverse problem. We construct a representation for the correlation functions on a finite chain for arbitrary spin. Then we show how the string solutions of the Bethe equations can be considered in the framework of this approach in the thermodynamic limit. Finally, a multiple integral representation for the spin 1 zero-temperature correlation functions is obtained in the thermodynamic limit.
