THERMODYNAMIC BETHE ANSATZ EQUATION FOR osp (1|2) INTEGRABLE SPIN CHAIN
Kazumitsu Sakai, Zengo Tsuboi
Abstract
The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz is applied to a quantum integrable spin chain associated with the Lie superalgebra osp (1|2). Using the string hypothesis, we derive a set of infinite number of nonlinear integral equations (thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equation), which characterize the free energy. The low temperature limit of the free energy is also discussed.
