چکیده

We begin with a review of the antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain. In particular, we show that the model has particle-like excitations with spin 1/2, and we compute the exact bulk S matrix. We then review our recent work which generalizes these results. We first consider an integrable alternating spin 1/2 spin 1 chain. In addition to having excitations with spin 1/2, this model also has excitations with spin 0. We compute the bulk S matrix, which has some unusual features. We then consider the open antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain with boundary magnetic fields. We give a direct calculation of the boundary S matrix.

Integrable Su(2)-invariant Spin Chains and the Haldane Conjecture

We perform a systematic exact algebraic search for integrable spin-S chains which are isotropic in spin space, i.e. are su(2)-invariant. The families of spin chains found for S ≤ 13.5 support recent arguments in favour of the complete classification of all such integrable chains. The integrable families of spin chains are discussed in the light of the conjectured spin-dependent properties of th...

Exact solutions of exactly integrable quantum chains by a matrix product ansatz

Most of the exact solutions of quantum one-dimensional Hamiltonians are obtained thanks to the success of the Bethe ansatz on its several formulations. According to this ansatz the amplitudes of the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian are given by a sum of permutations of appropriate plane waves. In this paper, alternatively, we present a matrix product ansatz that asserts that those amplitudes a...

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 Hami...

Uq(glN ) quantum spin chains

The glN and Uq(glN ) quantum spin chains in the presence of integrable spin impurities are considered. Within the Bethe ansatz formulation, we derive the associated transmission amplitudes, and the corresponding transmission matrices –representations of the underlying quadratic algebra– that physically describe the interaction between the various particle-like excitations displayed by these mod...

From finite geometry exact quantities to (elliptic) scattering amplitudes for spin chains: the 1/2-XYZ

From finite geometry exact quantities to (elliptic) scattering amplitudes for spin chains: the 1/2-XYZ Abstract Initially, we derive a nonlinear integral equation for the vacuum counting function of the spin 1/2-XYZ chain in the disordered regime, thus paralleling similar results by Klümper [1], achieved through a different technique in the antiferro-electric regime. In terms of the counting fu...
