XXZ chain with a boundary

چکیده
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 ≥ 0, 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.

The massless XXZ chain with a boundary
We study the XXZ chain with a boundary at massless regime −1 < ∆ < 1. We give the free fields realizations of the boundary vacuum state and it’s dual. Using these realizations, we give the integral representations for the correlation functions.
متن کاملReflection K-Matrices of the 19-Vertex Model and XXZ Spin-1 Chain with General Boundary Terms
We derive and classify all solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation (or the reflection equation) for the 19-vertex model associated with Uq(ŝl2). Integrable XXZ spin-1 chain hamiltonian with general boundary interactions is also obtained.
متن کاملBethe Ansatz solution of the open XXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary terms
We propose a set of conventional Bethe Ansatz equations and a corresponding expression for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix for the open spin2 XXZ quantum spin chain with nondiagonal boundary terms, provided that the boundary parameters obey a certain linear relation.
متن کاملSurface excitations and surface energy of the antiferromagnetic XXZ chain by the Bethe ansatz approach
We study boundary bound states using the Bethe ansatz formalism for the open XXZ (1 > 1) chain in a boundary magnetic field h. Boundary bound states are represented by the ‘boundary strings’ similar to those described in Skorik and Saleur. We find that for certain values of h the ground-state wavefunction contains boundary strings and from this infer the existence of two ‘critical’ fields in ag...
متن کاملGeneric boundary scattering in the open XXZ chain
The open XXZ spin chain with a general right boundary and a trivial diagonal left boundary is considered. Within this framework we propose a simple computation of the exact generic boundary S-matrix (with diagonal and non-diagonal entries), starting from the ‘bare’ Bethe ansatz equations. Our results coincide with the ones obtained by Ghoshal and Zamolodchikov, after assuming suitable identific...
متن کاملCorrespondence between the XXZ model in roots of unity and the one-dimensional quantum Ising chain with different boundary conditions
We consider the integrable XXZ model with special open boundary conditions that renders its Hamiltonian SU(2)q symmetric, and the one-dimensional quantum Ising model with four different boundary conditions. We show that for each boundary condition the Ising quantum chain is exactly given by the Minimal Model of integrable lattice theory LM(3, 4). This last theory is obtained as the result of th...
