A Q-operator for the quantum transfer matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
Baxter’s Q-operator for the quantum transfer matrix of the XXZ spin-chain is constructed employing the representation theory of quantum groups. The spectrum of this Q-operator is discussed and novel functional relations which describe the finite temperature regime of the XXZ spin-chain are derived. For non-vanishing magnetic field the previously known Bethe ansatz equations can be replaced by a system of quadratic equations which is an important advantage for numerical studies. For vanishing magnetic field and rational coupling values it is argued that the quantum transfer matrix exhibits a loop algebra symmetry closely related to the one of the classical six-vertex transfer matrix at roots of unity.

The witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
متن کاملQ-operator and T −Q relation from the fusion hierarchy
We propose that the Baxter Q-operator for the spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain is given by the j → ∞ limit of the transfer matrix with spin-j (i.e., (2j+1)-dimensional) auxiliary space. Applying this observation to the open chain with general (nondiagonal) integrable boundary terms, we obtain from the fusion hierarchy the T -Q relation for generic values (i.e. not roots of unity) of the bulk ani...

متن کاملOn the inhomogeneous T-Q relation for quantum integrable models
The off-diagonal Bethe Ansatz method [1] is used to revisit the periodic XXX Heisenberg spin2 chain. It is found that the spectrum of the transfer matrix can be characterized by an inhomogeneous T-Q relation, a natural but nontrivial extension of Baxter’s T-Q relation [2]. One of Baxter’s important discoveries is the T-Q relation [2], which provides a convenient and universal parametrization fo...
متن کاملT - Q relation and exact solution for the XYZ chain with general nondiagonal boundary terms
We propose that the Baxter’s Q-operator for the quantum XYZ spin chain with open boundary conditions is given by the j → ∞ limit of the corresponding transfer matrix with spin-j (i.e., (2j + 1)-dimensional) auxiliary space. The associated T -Q relation is derived from the fusion hierarchy of the model. We use this relation to determine the Bethe Ansatz solution of the eigenvalues of the fundame...
