Abstract:
In this article we study the thermodynamic limit of the form factors of the $XXX$ Heisenberg spin chain using the algebraic Bethe ansatz approach. Our main goal is to express the form factors for the low-lying excited states as determinants of matrices that remain finite dimensional in the thermodynamic limit. We show how to treat all types of the complex roots of the Bethe equations within this framework. In particular we demonstrate that the Gaudin determinant for the higher level Bethe equations arises naturally from the algebraic Bethe ansatz.
Keywords:
spin chains, form factors, correlation functions, algebraic Bethe ansatz.
