XXZ Bethe states as highest weight vectors of the loop algebra at roots of unity
We show that every regular Bethe ansatz eigenvector of the XXZ spin chain at
roots of unity is a highest weight vector of the loop algebra, for some
restricted sectors with respect to eigenvalues of the total spin operator
, and evaluate explicitly the highest weight in terms of the Bethe roots.
We also discuss whether a given regular Bethe state in the sectors generates an
irreducible representation or not. In fact, we present such a regular Bethe
state in the inhomogeneous case that generates a reducible Weyl module. Here,
we call a solution of the Bethe ansatz equations which is given by a set of
distinct and finite rapidities {\it regular Bethe roots}. We call a nonzero
Bethe ansatz eigenvector with regular Bethe roots a {\it regular Bethe state}.Comment: 40pages; revised versio
COMPLETE SOLUTION OF THE XXZ-MODEL ON FINITE RINGS. DYNAMICAL STRUCTURE FACTORS AT ZERO TEMPERATURE.
The finite size effects of the dynamical structure factors in the XXZ-model
are studied in the euclidean time -representation. Away from the
critical momentum finite size effects turn out to be small except for
the large limit. The large finite size effects at the critical momentum
signal the emergence of infrared singularities in the spectral
-representation of the dynamical structure factors.Comment: PostScript file with 12 pages + 11 figures uuencoded compresse
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 equations above and below the equator. In contrast, one finds for
even spin-chains only one linear independent solution and complete strings. The
other main result is the proof of a previous conjecture on the degeneracies of
the six-vertex model at roots of unity. The proof rests on the derivation of a
functional equation for the auxiliary matrices which is closely related to a
functional equation for the eight-vertex model conjectured by Fabricius and
McCoy.Comment: 22 pages; 2nd version: one paragraph added in the conclusion and some

The TQ equation of the 8 vertex model for complex elliptic roots of unity

Critical Behavior of an Ising System on the Sierpinski Carpet: A Short-Time Dynamics Study
The short-time dynamic evolution of an Ising model embedded in an infinitely
ramified fractal structure with noninteger Hausdorff dimension was studied
using Monte Carlo simulations. Completely ordered and disordered spin
configurations were used as initial states for the dynamic simulations. In both
cases, the evolution of the physical observables follows a power-law behavior.
Based on this fact, the complete set of critical exponents characteristic of a
second-order phase transition was evaluated. Also, the dynamic exponent of the critical initial increase in magnetization, as well as the critical
temperature, were computed. The exponent exhibits a weak dependence
on the initial (small) magnetization. On the other hand, the dynamic exponent
shows a systematic decrease when the segmentation step is increased, i.e.,
when the system size becomes larger. Our results suggest that the effective
noninteger dimension for the second-order phase transition is noticeably
smaller than the Hausdorff dimension. Even when the behavior of the
magnetization (in the case of the ordered initial state) and the
autocorrelation (in the case of the disordered initial state) with time are
very well fitted by power laws, the precision of our simulations allows us to
detect the presence of a soft oscillation of the same type in both magnitudes
that we attribute to the topological details of the generating cell at any
scale.Comment: 10 figures, 4 tables and 14 page
Topological Effects caused by the Fractal Substrate on the Nonequilibrium Critical Behavior of the Ising Magnet
The nonequilibrium critical dynamics of the Ising magnet on a fractal
substrate, namely the Sierpinski carpet with Hausdorff dimension =1.7925,
has been studied within the short-time regime by means of Monte Carlo
simulations. The evolution of the physical observables was followed at
criticality, after both annealing ordered spin configurations (ground state)
and quenching disordered initial configurations (high temperature state), for
three segmentation steps of the fractal. The topological effects become evident
from the emergence of a logarithmic periodic oscillation superimposed to a
power law in the decay of the magnetization and its logarithmic derivative and
also from the dependence of the critical exponents on the segmentation step.
These oscillations are discussed in the framework of the discrete scale
invariance of the substrate and carefully characterized in order to determine
the critical temperature of the second-order phase transition and the critical
exponents corresponding to the short-time regime. The exponent of the
initial increase in the magnetization was also obtained and the results suggest
that it would be almost independent of the fractal dimension of the susbstrate,
provided that is close enough to d=2.Comment: 9 figures, 3 tables, 10 page
Temperature dependent spatial oscillations in the correlations of the XXZ spin chain
We study the correlation for the XXZ chain in the
massless attractive (ferromagnetic) region at positive temperatures by means of
a numerical study of the quantum transfer matrix. We find that there is a range
of temperature where the behavior of the correlation for large separations is
oscillatory with an incommensurate period which depends on temperature.Comment: 4 pages, REVTEX, 6 table
Auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model and the algebraic Bethe ansatz
We connect two alternative concepts of solving integrable models, Baxter's
method of auxiliary matrices (or Q-operators) and the algebraic Bethe ansatz.
The main steps of the calculation are performed in a general setting and a
formula for the Bethe eigenvalues of the Q-operator is derived. A proof is
given for states which contain up to three Bethe roots. Further evidence is
provided by relating the findings to the six-vertex fusion hierarchy. For the
XXZ spin-chain we analyze the cases when the deformation parameter of the
underlying quantum group is evaluated both at and away from a root of unity.Comment: 32 page
Auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model at roots of 1 and a geometric interpretation of its symmetries
The construction of auxiliary matrices for the six-vertex model at a root of
unity is investigated from a quantum group theoretic point of view. Employing
the concept of intertwiners associated with the quantum loop algebra
at a three parameter family of auxiliary matrices
is constructed. The elements of this family satisfy a functional relation with
the transfer matrix allowing one to solve the eigenvalue problem of the model
and to derive the Bethe ansatz equations. This functional relation is obtained
from the decomposition of a tensor product of evaluation representations and
involves auxiliary matrices with different parameters. Because of this
dependence on additional parameters the auxiliary matrices break in general the
finite symmetries of the six-vertex model, such as spin-reversal or spin
conservation. More importantly, they also lift the extra degeneracies of the
transfer matrix due to the loop symmetry present at rational coupling values.
The extra parameters in the auxiliary matrices are shown to be directly related
to the elements in the enlarged center of the quantum loop algebra
at . This connection provides a geometric
interpretation of the enhanced symmetry of the six-vertex model at rational
coupling. The parameters labelling the auxiliary matrices can be interpreted as
coordinates on a three-dimensional complex hypersurface which remains invariant
under the action of an infinite-dimensional group of analytic transformations,
called the quantum coadjoint action.Comment: 52 pages, TCI LaTex, v2: equation (167) corrected, two references

Low-temperature transport in Heisenberg chains
A technique to determine accurately transport properties of integrable and
non-integrable quantum-spin chains at finite temperatures by Quantum
Monte-Carlo is presented. The reduction of the Drude weight by interactions in
the integrable gapless regime is evaluated. Evidence for the absence of a Drude
weight in the gapless regime of a non-integrable system with longer-ranged
interactions is presented. We estimate the effect of the non-integrability on
the transport properties and compare with recent experiments on one-dimensional
quantum-spin chains.Comment: accepted for publication (PRL
