Completeness of Bethe Ansatz by Sklyanin SOV for Cyclic Representations of Integrable Quantum Models (1102.1694v2)

Abstract: In [1] an integrable quantum model was introduced and a class of its cyclic representations was proven to define lattice regularizations of the Sine-Gordon model. Here, we analyze general cyclic representations of this integrable quantum model by extending the spectrum construction introduced in [2] in the framework of the Separation of Variables (SOV) of Sklyanin. We show that as in [1] also for general representations, the transfer matrix spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates) is completely characterized in terms of polynomial solutions of an associated functional Baxter equation. Moreover, we prove that the method here developed has two fundamental built-in features: i) the completeness of the set of the transfer matrix eigenstates constructed from the solutions of the associated Bethe ansatz equations, ii) the existence and complete characterization of the Baxter Q-operator.
