New Developments in the Eight Vertex Model II. Chains of odd length

چکیده
We study the transfer matrix of the 8 vertex model with an odd number of lattice sites N. For systems at the root of unity points η = mK/L with m odd the transfer matrix is known to satisfy the famous “TQ” equation where Q(v) is a specifically known matrix. We demonstrate that the location of the zeroes of this Q(v) matrix is qualitatively different from the case of even N and in particular they satisfy a previously unknown equation which is more general than what is often called “Bethe’s equation.” For the case of even m where no Q(v) matrix is known we demonstrate that there are many states which are not obtained from the formalism of the SOS model but which do satisfy the TQ equation. The ground state for the particular case of η = 2K/3 and N odd is investigated in detail.

Auxiliary matrices on both sides of the equator
The spectra of previously constructed auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model at roots of unity are investigated for spin-chains of even and odd length. The two cases show remarkable differences. In particular, it is shown that for even roots of unity and an odd number of sites the eigenvalues contain two linear independent solutions to Baxter’s TQ-equation corresponding to the Bethe ansatz...
متن کاملSkolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs
In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...
متن کاملThe Q - operator and Functional Relations of the Eight - vertex Model at Root - of - unity η = 2 mK N for odd
Following Baxter's method of producing Q 72-operator, we construct the Q-operator of the root-of-unity eight-vertex model for the crossing parameter η = 2mK N with odd N where Q 72 does not exist. We use this new Q-operator to study the functional relations in the Fabricius-McCoy comparison between the root-of-unity eight-vertex model and the superintegrable N-state chiral Potts model. By the c...

متن کامل3 The odd eight - vertex model
We consider a vertex model on the simple-quartic lattice defined by line graphs on the lattice for which there is always an odd number of lines incident at a vertex. This is the odd 8-vertex model which has eight possible vertex configurations. We establish that the odd 8-vertex model is equivalent to a staggered 8-vertex model. Using this equivalence we deduce the solution of the odd 8-vertex ...
