Nested bethe ansatz for <Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">gl</Emphasis>(n)) open spin chains with diagonal boundary conditions

In this proceeding we present the nested Bethe ansatz for open spin chains of XXX-type, with arbitrary representations (i.e. “spins”) on each site of the chain and diagonal boundary matrices (K ⁺(u), K ⁻(u)). The nested Bethe ansatz applies for a general K ⁻(u), but a particular form of the K ⁺(u) matrix. We give the eigenvalues, Bethe equations and the form of the Bethe vectors for the corresponding models. The Bethe vectors are expressed using a trace formula     

Airy Functions in the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz

Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are coupled nonlinear integral equations which appear frequently when solving integrable models. Those associated with models with N=2 supersymmetry can be related to differential equations, among them Painlevé III and the Toda hierarchy. In the simplest such case, the massless limit of these nonlinear integral equations can be solved in terms of the Airy function. This is the only known closed-form solution of thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations, outside of free or classical models. This turns out to give the spectral determinant of the Schrödinger equation in a linear potential.     

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.     

Off-shell Bethe ansatz equation for osp(21) Gaudin magnets

The semi-classical limit of the algebraic Bethe ansatz method is used to solve the theory of Gaudin models. Via off-shell Bethe ansatz method we find the spectra and eigenvectors of the N−1 independents Gaudin Hamiltonians with symmetry osp(21). We also show how the off-shell Gaudin equation solves the trigonometric Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation.     

Uniqueness of the Bethe ansatz of theXXZ chain and statistical interaction

We prove that there is only one form of the Bethe ansatz with the generalXXZ chain. We give an explanation of theXXZ chain in terms of statistical interactions.     

Exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions

The exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions with δ-function interactions are studied. Some new sets of Bethe ansatz equations are obtained by using the graded nest quantum inverse scattering method. Many interesting features appear in the system. For example, the wave function has the SU(2|2) supersymmetry. It is also found that the ground state of the system is partial polarized, where the fermions form a spin singlet state and the bosons are totally polarized. From the solution of Bethe ansatz equations, it is shown that all the momentum, spin and isospin rapidities at the ground state are real if the interactions between the particles are repulsive; while the fermions form two-particle bounded states and the bosons form one large bound state, which means the bosons condensed at the zero momentum point, if the interactions are attractive. The charge, spin and isospin excitations are discussed in detail. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are also derived and their solutions at some special cases are obtained analytically.     

On Nested Bethe Ansatz for RTT Algebra of o(2n) Type

We study the highest weight representations of the RTT algebras for the R matrix of o(2n) type by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz. We show how auxiliary RTT algebra à can be used to find Bethe vectors and Bethe conditions. For special representations, in which representation of RTT algebra à is trivial, the problem was solved by Reshetikhin.

     

Completeness of the Bethe Ansatz on Weyl Alcoves

We prove the completeness of the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a Weyl alcove with repulsive boundary condition at the walls. For the root system of type A this amounts to the result of Dorlas of the completeness of the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions of the quantum Bose gas on the circle with repulsive delta-function interaction.     

Exact solution of the Gaudin model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions

We study the exact solution of the Gaudin model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions. The energy and Bethe ansatz equations of the Gaudin model can be obtained via the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method. Based on the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz solutions, we construct the Bethe states of the inhomogeneous X X X Heisenberg spin chain with the generic open boundaries. By taking a quasi-classical limit, we give explicit closed-form expression of the Bethe states of the Gaudin model. From the numerical simulations for the small-size system, it is shown that some Bethe roots go to infinity when the Gaudin model recovers the U(1) symmetry. Furthermore,it is found that the contribution of those Bethe roots to the Bethe states is a nonzero constant. This fact enables us to recover the Bethe states of the Gaudin model with the U(1) symmetry. These results provide a basis for the further study of the thermodynamic limit, correlation functions, and quantum dynamics of the Gaudin model.     

Exact Solution of the One-Dimensional N-Component Bariev Model with a Hard-Core Repulsion under Open Boundary Conditions

We analyse the integrable boundary conditions for the one-dimensional N-component generalized Bariev model with a hard-core repulsion. The Bethe ansatz equations and the energy spectrum are obtained in the framework of the nested Bethe ansatz method.     

The exact solution and the finite-size behaviour of the Osp(1|2)-invariant spin chain

We have solved exactly the Osp(1|2) spin chain by the Bethe ansatz approach. Our solution is based on an equivalence between the Osp(1|2) chain and a certain special limit of the Izergin-Korepin vertex model. The completeness of the Bethe ansatz equations is discussed for a system with four sites and the appearance of special string structures is noted. The Bethe ansatz presents an important phase factor which distinguishes the even and odd sectors of the theory. The finite-size properties are governed by a conformal field theory with central charge c = 1.     

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the eight-vertex model with general open boundary conditions

By using the intertwiner and face-vertex correspondence relation, we obtain the Bethe ansatz equation of the eight-vertex model with open boundary conditions in the framework of algebraic Bethe ansatz method. The open boundary condition under consideration is the general solution of the reflection equation for the eight-vertex model with only one restriction on the free parameters of the right side reflecting boundary matrix. The reflecting boundary matrices used in this paper thus may have off-diagonal elements. Our construction can also be used for the Bethe ansatz of SOS model with reflection boundaries.     

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.     

Analysis of the Bethe ansatz equations of the XXZ model

We analyse the Bethe ansatz equations of the XXZ model in the antiferromagnetic region, without assuming a priori the existence of strings. Excited states are described by a finite number of parameters. These parameters satisfy a closed system of equations, which we obtain by eliminating the parameters of the vacuum from the original Bethe ansatz equations. Strings are only particular solutions of these equations.     

Exact Form Factors for the Josephson Tunneling Current and Relative Particle Number Fluctuations in a Model of Two Coupled Bose–Einstein Condensates

Form factors are derived for a model describing the coherent Josephson tunneling between two coupled Bose–Einstein condensates. This is achieved by studying the exact solution of the model with in the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. In this approach the form factors are expressed through determinant representations which are functions of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equations.     

Bethe ansatz results for the 4f-electron spectra of a degenerate Anderson model

We show that the density of states for localized 4f electrons coupled to a conduction band calculated in the framework of Bethe ansatz solution for the degenerate Anderson model qualitatively disagree with the well-known results obtained for the same model but using a variational approach. The scales of parameters used in our Bethe ansatz calculations to fit the experiments disagree with the commonly accepted values from other studies. This implies narrower conduction bands hybridized with 4f orbitals or questions the applicability of the Bethe ansatz for a degenerate Anderson model for the high-energy characteristics of some rare-earth systems.     

Extending the Bethe Ansatz: The Quantum Three-Particle Ring

The quantum problem of three impenetrable particles of arbitrary mass confined to a ring is solved by the Bethe ansatz. The solution of this problem is intimately related to the solution a Helmholtz equation in the interior of an arbitrary acute triangle, a problem thought insoluble by Bethe ansatz methods.     

SOLVABLE BOSON-FERMION MODEL FOR MIXED-VALENCE SYSTEMS

Using the Bethe ansatz technique, the exact eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of the boson-fermion model for mixed-valence systems are constructed. The Bethe ansatz equations are obtained from the periodic boundary conditions.     

Integrable open boundary conditions for the Bariev model of three coupled XY spin chains

The integrable open-boundary conditions for the Bariev model of three coupled one-dimensional XY spin chains are studied in the framework of the boundary quantum inverse scattering method. Three kinds of diagonal boundary K-matrices leading to nine classes of possible choices of boundary fields are found and the corresponding integrable boundary terms are presented explicitly. The boundary Hamiltonian is solved by using the coordinate Bethe ansatz technique and the Bethe ansatz equations are derived.
