The Bethe ansatz approach for factorizable centrally extended S-matrices

TL;DR

This paper applies the Bethe ansatz to integrable models with $f{su}(2|2)$-based factorized S-matrices, deriving quantization conditions relevant for the $AdS_5 imes S^{5}$ string spectrum in the thermodynamic limit.

Contribution

It explicitly relates the $f{su}(2|2)$ R-matrix to the Hubbard model and derives quantization conditions for asymptotic momenta in models with centrally extended $f{su}(2|2)$ symmetry.

Findings

Derived the Bethe ansatz solution for models with $f{su}(2|2)$ S-matrices.

Established a spectral parameter transformation linking the R-matrix to the Hubbard model.

Obtained quantization conditions for particle momenta relevant to string theory spectra.

Abstract

We consider the Bethe ansatz solution of integrable models interacting through factorized $S$-matrices based on the central extention of the $\bf{su}(2|2)$ symmetry. The respective $\bf{su}(2|2)$ $R$-matrix is explicitly related to that of the covering Hubbard model through a spectral parameter dependent transformation. This mapping allows us to diagonalize inhomogeneous transfer matrices whose statistical weights are given in terms of $\bf{su}(2|2)$ $S$-matrices by the algebraic Bethe ansatz. As a consequence of that we derive the quantization condition on the circle for the asymptotic momenta of particles scattering by the $\bf{su}(2|2) \otimes \bf{su}(2|2)$ $S$-matrix. The result for the quantization rule may be of relevance in the study of the energy spectrum of the $AdS_5 \times S^{5}$ string sigma model in the thermodynamic limit. \
