DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS FOR THE HIGHER RANK XXZ MODEL WITH A BOUNDARY

Published Sep 20, 2000• 5 citations

Abstract

The higher rank analog of the XXZ model with a boundary is considered on the basis of the vertex operator approach. We derive difference equations of the quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov type for 2N-point correlations of the model. We present infinite product formulae of two point functions with free boundary condition by solving those difference equations with N=1.

Difference equations for correlation functions ofA(1)n-1-face model with boundary reflection

Yas-Hiro Quano

The A (1) n -1 -face model with boundary reflection is considered on the basis of the boundary corner transfer matrix bootstrap. We construct the fused boundary Boltzmann weights to determine the normalization factor. We derive difference equations of the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov type for correlation functions of the boundary model. The simplest difference equations are solved in the case of the free boundary condition.

Smirnov-Type Integral Formulae for Correlation Functions of the Bulk/Boundary XXZ Model in the Anti-Ferromagnetic Regime

Yas-Hiro Quano

Integral solutions to the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the correlation functions of both the bulk and boundary XXZ models in the anti-ferromagnetic regime are presented. The difference equations can be derived from Smirnov-type master equations for correlation functions on the basis of the CTM bootstrap. Our integral solutions with an appropriate choice of the integral kernel reproduce the formulae previously obtained by using the bosonization of the vertex operators of the quantum affine algebra Uq ().

Difference equations for correlation functions of Belavin's ℤn-symmetric model with boundary reflection

Yas-Hiro Quano

Belavin's n -symmetric elliptic model with boundary reflection is considered on the basis of the boundary CTM bootstrap. We find non-diagonal K -matrices for n >2 that satisfy the reflection equation (boundary Yang-Baxter equation), and also find non-diagonal Boltzmann weights for the A (1) n -1 -face model even for n ⩾2. We derive difference equations of the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov type for correlation functions of the boundary model. The boundary spontaneous polarization is obtained by solving the simplest difference equations in the case of the free boundary condition. The resulting quantity is the square of the spontaneous polarization for the bulk n -symmetric model, up to a phase factor.

The open XXZ chain at Δ = −1/2 and the boundary quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations

Christian Hagendorf, Jean Liénardy

Abstract The open XXZ spin chain with the anisotropy parameter Δ = − 1 2 and diagonal boundary magnetic fields that depend on a parameter x is studied. For real x > 0, the exact finite-size ground-state eigenvalue of the spin-chain Hamiltonian is explicitly computed. In a suitable normalisation, the ground-state components are characterised as polynomials in x with integer coefficients. Linear sum rules and special components of this eigenvector are explicitly computed in terms of determinant formulas. These results follow from the construction of a contour-integral solution to the boundary quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations associated with the R -matrix and diagonal K -matrices of the six-vertex model. A relation between this solution and a weighted enumeration of totally-symmetric alternating sign matrices is conjectured.

Quantum KZ equation with |q| = 1 and correlation functions of theXXZmodel in the gapless regime

Michio Jimbo, Tetsuji Miwa

An integral solution to the quantum Knizhnik - Zamolodchikov (qKZ) equation with |q| =1 is presented. Upon specialization, it leads to a conjectural formula for correlation functions of the XXZ model in the gapless regime. The validity of this conjecture is verified in special cases, including the nearest-neighbour correlator with an arbitrary coupling constant and general correlators in the XXX and XY limits.

SOME INTEGRAL FORMULAS FOR THE SOLUTIONS OF THE sl 2 dKZ EQUATION WITH LEVEL −4

Atsushi Nakayashiki

A direct proof is given for the fact that the integral formula for the XXX limit of the trace of the type I q-vertex operators satisfies the deformed Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (dKZ) equation with level −4. We have also carried out one-time integration by taking the residue at infinity. As a corollary of these we can construct a family of the integral formulas for solutions to the dKZ equation. Another corollary is the integral formula for the correlation function of the inhomogeneous XXX model, whose number of integrals is less than that of the previously obtained correlator for the XXZ model.
