THE MASSLESS XXZ CHAIN WITH A BOUNDARY

Published Jan 30, 2001• 9 citations

Abstract

We study the XXZ chain with a boundary at massless regime -1<Δ<1. We give the free field realizations of the boundary vacuum state and its dual. Using these realizations, we give the integral representations for the correlation functions.

The Uq(sln∧) analogue of the XXZ chain with a boundary

H. Furutsu, T. Kojima

We study the Uq(sln∧) analogue of the XXZ spin chain with a boundary magnetic field h. We construct explicit bosonic formulas of the vacuum vector and the dual vacuum vector with a boundary magnetic field. For an application of the explicit formula of the vacuum vector, we derive the integral representation of the boundary spontaneous magnetization.

XXZ chain with a boundary

Michio Jimbo, Rinat Kedem, Takeo Kojima +2 more

The \\XXZ spin chain with a boundary magnetic field h is considered, using the vertex operator approach to diagonalize the Hamiltonian. We find explicit bosonic formulas for the two vacuum vectors with zero particle content. There are three distinct regions when h\\geq0, in which the structure of the vacuum states is different. Excited states are given by the action of vertex operators on the vacuum states. We derive the boundary S-matrix and present an integral formula for the correlation functions. The boundary magnetization exhibits boundary hysteresis. We also discuss the rational limit, the \\XXX model.

Correlation functions and the boundary qKZ equation in a fractured XXZ chain

Robert Weston

We consider correlation functions of the form , where |vac⟩ is the vacuum eigenstate of an infinite antiferromagnetic XXZ chain, |vac⟩′ is the vacuum eigenstate of an infinite XXZ chain which is split in two, and is a local operator. The Hamiltonian of the split chain has no coupling between sites 1 and 0 and has a staggered magnetic field at these two sites; it arises from a tensor product of left and right boundary transfer matrices. We find a simple, exact expression for ⟨vac|vac⟩′ and an exact integral expression for general using the vertex operator approach. We compute the integral when and find a conjectural expression that is analogous to the known formula for the XXZ spontaneous magnetization and reduces to it when the magnetic field is zero. We show that correlation functions obey a boundary qKZ equation of a different level to the infinite XXZ chain with one boundary.

Short-distance thermal correlations in the XXZ chain

Herman E Boos, Jens Damerau, Frank Göhmann +3 more

Recent studies have revealed much of the mathematical structure of the static correlation functions of the XXZ chain. Here we use the results of those studies in order to work out explicit examples of short-distance correlation functions in the infinite chain. We compute two-point functions ranging over two, three and four lattice sites as functions of the temperature and the magnetic field for various anisotropies in the massless regime −1<Δ<1. It turns out that the new formulae are numerically efficient and allow us to obtain the correlation functions over the full parameter range with arbitrary precision.

On the emptiness formation probability of the openXXZspin-1/2 chain

Karol Kajetan Kozlowski

This paper is devoted to the study of the emptiness formation probability τ( m ) of the open XXZ chain. We derive a closed form for τ( m ) at Δ = 1/2 when the boundary field vanishes. Moreover we obtain its leading asymptotics for an arbitrary boundary field at the free fermion point. Finally, we compute the first term of the asymptotics of ln(τ( m )) for the whole massless regime −1<Δ<1.
