Algebraic Bethe ansatz for a singular solution    [PDF]

Rafael I. Nepomechie, Chunguang Wang
The Bethe equations for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with N sites have a "two-string" solution i/2, -i/2 that is singular: both the corresponding energy and algebraic Bethe ansatz vector are divergent. We show that this solution must be carefully regularized in order to obtain the correct eigenvector. This regularization involves a parameter that can be determined using a generalization of the Bethe equations. It follows that this solution must be excluded for odd N.
