The algebraic Bethe ansatz for the Izergin–Korepin model with open boundary conditions

We present the procedure of exactly solving the Izergin–Korepin model with open boundary conditions by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz, which include constructing the multi-particle state and achieving the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix and corresponding Bethe equations. We give a proof about our conclusions on the multi-particle state based on an assumption. When the model is U_q(su(2)) quantum invariant, our results agree with that obtained by analytic Bethe ansatz method.     

The Bethe ansatz for the six-vertex model with rotated boundary conditions

A method is suggested for derivation of the Bethe ansatz equations for the six-vertex model on a square lattice rotated at an arbitrary angle with respect to the coordinate axes. The method is based on the random walk representation for configurations of the model. The equations for the ice model on the rotated lattice are derived and some numerical results are obtained.     

Bethe ansatz calculations for the eight-vertex model on a finite strip

Bethe ansatz equations for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the eight-vertex model are solved numerically to yield mass gap data on infinitely long strips of up to 512 sites in width. The finite-size corrections, at criticality, to the free energy per site and polarization gap are found to be in agreement with recent studies of theXXZ spin chain. The leading corrections to the finite-size scaling estimates of the critical line and thermal exponent are also found, providing an explanation of the poor convergence seen in earlier studies. Away from criticality, the linear scaling fields are derived exactly in the full parameter space of the spin system, allowing a thorough test of a recently proposed method of extracting linear scaling fields and related exponents from finite lattice data.     

The algebraic Bethe ansatz for the Osp(2|2) model with open boundary conditions

We obtain four different diagonal reflecting matrices by solving the reflection equation of the Osp(2|2) model. At the same time, we solve the model with open boundary condition by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz. The procedure of constructing the multi-particle state and achieving the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix and corresponding Bethe equations is presented in detail.     

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the one-dimensional Hubbard model with chemical potential

The integrability and the algebraic Bethe ansatz approach for the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with chemical potential are studied in the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. We also investigate the hidden local gauge invariance for the model. It is found that the R-matrix only permits Abelian $\text{U(1) ⋇}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{U(1)}$ gauge transformations, and it is shown that the energy spectrum is gauge invariant whereas the eigenvectors and the Bethe ansatz equations are explicitly gauge dependent.     

Bethe ansatz results for Hubbard chains with toroidal boundary conditions

We solve exactly the problem of a one-dimensional repulsive-U Hubbard chain with toroidal boundary conditions (HTB) using the Bethe ansatz approach. We calculate analytically the finite-size corrections to the ground-state energy in the half-filled case and use this expression to derive charge and spin stiffnesses with no assumptions. We then use a particle-hole transformation to calculate the finite-size corrections for the half-filledattractive- U case, and again derive the resulting expressions for the charge and spin stiffnesses. Lastly, we discuss how the repulsive-U corrections relate to those of a Heisenberg model with toroidal boundary conditions.On leave from Departamento de Fisica, Universidade Federal de S. Carlos, S.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for integrable Kondo impurities in the one-dimensional supersymmetric t-J model

An integrable Kondo problem in the one-dimensional supersymmetric t-J model is studied by means of the boundary supersymmetric quantum inverse scattering method. the boundary K matrices depending on the local moments of the impurities are presented as a nontrivial realization of the graded reflection equation algebras in a two-dimensional impurity Hilbert space. Further, the model is solved by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method and the Bethe ansatz equations are obtained.     

Bethe ansatz for the XXX-S chain with non-diagonal open boundaries

We consider the algebraic Bethe ansatz solution of the integrable and isotropic XXX-S Heisenberg chain with non-diagonal open boundaries. We show that the corresponding K-matrices are similar to diagonal matrices with the help of suitable transformations independent of the spectral parameter. When the boundary parameters satisfy certain constraints we are able to formulate the diagonalization of the associated double-row transfer matrix by means of the quantum inverse scattering method. This allows us to derive explicit expressions for the eigenvalues and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations. We also present evidences that the eigenvectors can be build up in terms of multiparticle states for arbitrary S.     

Off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solution of the XXX spin chain with arbitrary boundary conditions

Employing the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method proposed recently by the present authors, we exactly diagonalize the XXX spin chain with arbitrary boundary fields. By constructing a functional relation between the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix and the quantum determinant, the associated T–Q$T\text{–}Q$ relation and the Bethe ansatz equations are derived.     

Bethe ansatz for an open Heisenberg spin chain with impurity

We have set up the algebraic Bethe ansatz equation for an open Heisenberg spin chain having an impurity of a different type of spin. The chain is considered to be open and hence the QISM approach as modified by Sklyanin is used to set up the equations for the Bethe ansatz.     

Bethe ansatz and boundary energy of the open spin-1/2 XXZ chain

We review recent results on the Bethe ansatz solutions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of an integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain using functional relations which the transfer matrix obeys at roots of unity. First, we consider a case where at most two of the boundary parameters α_?, α₊, β_?, β₊ are nonzero. A generalization of the BaxterT-Q equation that involves more than one independentQ is described. We use this solution to compute the boundary energy of the chain in the thermodynamic limit. We conclude the paper with a review of some results for the general integrable boundary terms, where all six boundary parameters are arbitrary.     

Bethe ansatz solution for quantum spin-1 chains with boundary terms

The procedure for obtaining integrable open spin chain Hamiltonians via reflection matrices is explicitly carried out for some three-state vertex models. We have considered the 19-vertex models of Zamolodchikov–Fateev and Izergin–Korepin, and the Z₂-graded 19-vertex models with sl(2|1) and osp(1|2) invariances. In each case the eigenspectrum is determined by application of the coordinate Bethe ansatz.     

Bethe ansatz solution of the asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries

We derive the Bethe ansatz equations describing the complete spectrum of the transition matrix of the partially asymmetric exclusion process with the most general open boundary conditions. For totally asymmetric diffusion we calculate the spectral gap, which characterizes the approach to stationarity at large times. We observe boundary induced crossovers in and between massive, diffusive, and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling regimes.     

Bethe ansatz equations for the brokenZ N -symmetric model

We obtain the Bethe ansatz equations for the brokenZ _N -symmetric model by constructing a functional relation of the transfer matrix ofL-operators. This model is an elliptic off-critical extension of the Fateev-Zamolodchikov model. We calculate the free energy of this model on the basis of the string hypothesis.     

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for invariant integrable models: Compact and non-compact applications

We apply the algebraic Bethe ansatz developed in our previous paper [C.S. Melo, M.J. Martins, Nucl. Phys. B 806 (2009) 567] to three different families of U(1) integrable vertex models with arbitrary N bond states. These statistical mechanics systems are based on the higher spin representations of the quantum group U_q[SU(2)] for both generic and non-generic values of q as well as on the non-compact discrete representation of the algebra. We present for all these models the explicit expressions for both the on-shell and the off-shell properties associated to the respective transfer matrices eigenvalue problems. The amplitudes governing the vectors not parallel to the Bethe states are shown to factorize in terms of elementary building blocks functions. The results for the non-compact model are argued to be derived from those obtained for the compact systems by taking suitable N→∞ limits. This permits us to study the properties of the non-compact model starting from systems with finite degrees of freedom.     

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the gl(1|2) generalized model and Lieb–Wu equations

We solve the gl(1|2) generalized model by means of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. The resulting eigenvalue of the transfer matrix and the Bethe ansatz equations depend on three complex functions, called the parameters of the generalized model. Specifying the parameters appropriately, we obtain the Bethe ansatz equations of the supersymmetric t-J model, the Hubbard model, or of Yang's model of electrons with delta interaction. This means that the Bethe ansatz equations of these (and many other) models can be obtained from a common algebraic source, namely from the Yang–Baxter algebra generated by the gl(1|2) invariant R-matrix.     

Reflection amplitudes of boundary Toda theories and thermodynamic Bethe ansatz

We study the ultraviolet asymptotics in A_n affine Toda theories with integrable boundary actions. The reflection amplitudes of non-affine Toda theories in the presence of conformal boundary actions have been obtained from the quantum mechanical reflections of the wave functional in the Weyl chamber and used for the quantization conditions and ground-state energies. We compare these results with the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz derived from both the bulk and (conjectured) boundary scattering amplitudes. The two independent approaches match very well and provide the non-perturbative checks of the boundary scattering amplitudes for Neumann and (+) boundary conditions.     

Asymptotic Bethe ansatz from string sigma model on

We derive the asymptotic Bethe ansatz (AFS equations [G. Arutyunov, S. Frolov, M. Staudacher, Bethe ansatz for quantum strings, JHEP 0410 (2004) 016, hep-th/0406256]) for the string on S³×R sector of AdS₅×S⁵ from the integrable nonhomogeneous dynamical spin chain for the string sigma model proposed in [N. Gromov, V. Kazakov, K. Sakai, P. Vieira, Strings as multi-particle states of quantum sigma-models, hep-th/0603043]. It is clear from the derivation that AFS equations can be viewed only as an effective model describing a certain regime of a more fundamental inhomogeneous spin chain.
