Form-factors in the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov model I: Norms and matrix elements

We continue our investigation of the Z_N-Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov model using the method of separation of variables [nlin/0603028]. In this paper we calculate the norms and matrix elements of a local Z_N-spin operator between eigenvectors of the auxiliary problem. For the norm the multiple sums over the intermediate states are performed explicitly. In the case N=2 we solve the Baxter equation and obtain form-factors of the spin operator of the periodic Ising model on a finite lattice.Comment: 24 page

Transfer matrix eigenvectors of the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov τ2\tau_2-model for N=2

We find a representation of the row-to-row transfer matrix of the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov $\tau_2$-model for N=2 in terms of an integral over two commuting sets of grassmann variables. Using this representation, we explicitly calculate transfer matrix eigenvectors and normalize them. It is also shown how form factors of the model can be expressed in terms of determinants and inverses of certain Toeplitz matrices.Comment: 23 page

Form-factors in the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov model II: Ising model on the finite lattice

We continue our investigation of the Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov or \tau^{(2)}-model using the method of separation of variables [nlin/0603028,arXiv:0708.4342]. In this paper we derive for the first time the factorized formula for form-factors of the Ising model on a finite lattice conjectured previously by A.Bugrij and O.Lisovyy in [arXiv:0708.3625,arXiv:0708.3643]. We also find the matrix elements of the spin operator for the finite quantum Ising chain in a transverse field.Comment: 25 pages; sections 8 and A.2 are extended, 2 related references are adde

Factorized finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements from Separation of Variables

Using the Sklyanin-Kharchev-Lebedev method of Separation of Variables adapted to the cyclic Baxter--Bazhanov--Stroganov or $\tau^{(2)}$-model, we derive factorized formulae for general finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements, proving a recent conjecture by Bugrij and Lisovyy

Spin operator matrix elements in the superintegrable chiral Potts quantum chain

We derive spin operator matrix elements between general eigenstates of the superintegrable Z_N-symmetric chiral Potts quantum chain of finite length. Our starting point is the extended Onsager algebra recently proposed by R.Baxter. For each pair of spaces (Onsager sectors) of the irreducible representations of the Onsager algebra, we calculate the spin matrix elements between the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of the quantum chain in factorized form, up to an overall scalar factor. This factor is known for the ground state Onsager sectors. For the matrix elements between the ground states of these sectors we perform the thermodynamic limit and obtain the formula for the order parameters. For the Ising quantum chain in a transverse field (N=2 case) the factorized form for the matrix elements coincides with the corresponding expressions obtained recently by the Separation of Variables Method.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figur

Integral equations and large-time asymptotics for finite-temperature Ising chain correlation functions

This work concerns the dynamical two-point spin correlation functions of the transverse Ising quantum chain at finite (non-zero) temperature, in the universal region near the quantum critical point. They are correlation functions of twist fields in the massive Majorana fermion quantum field theory. At finite temperature, these are known to satisfy a set of integrable partial differential equations, including the sinh-Gordon equation. We apply the classical inverse scattering method to study them, finding that the ``initial scattering data'' corresponding to the correlation functions are simply related to the one-particle finite-temperature form factors calculated recently by one of the authors. The set of linear integral equations (Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equations) associated to the inverse scattering problem then gives, in principle, the two-point functions at all space and time separations, and all temperatures. From them, we evaluate the large-time asymptotic expansion ``near the light cone'', in the region where the difference between the space and time separations is of the order of the correlation length
