Abstract:Bethe ansatz equations often appear in the study of the vacuum structure of supersymmetric gauge theories and the gluing conditions in three-dimensional manifolds. In this talk, I will discuss solving Heisenberg spin chains using the coordinate Bethe ansatz in detail
AbstractApplying the recently developed method-the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method, we construct theexact solutions of the Heisenberg spin chain with various boundary conditions. The results allow usto calculate the boundary energy of the system in the thermodynamic limit. The method used herecan be generalized to study the thermodynamic properties and boundary energy of other high rankmodels ...
