The fusion hierarchy of the transfer matrices and its truncation for particular values of the anisotropy parameter are both employed, so that the spectral problem is formulated in terms of a TQ equation. The solution of this equation for generic boundary conditions is based on a deformation of the diagonal case. The eigenvalues of the model are extracted and the corresponding Bethe Ansatz equations are presented. Finally, we comment on the eigenvectors of the model and explicitly compute the eigenstate of the model which evolves into the Fock vacuum when the off-diagonal boundary terms are switched off.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-07-13T00:05:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nondiagonal boundary terms", "bethe ansatz solution", "small polaron", "corresponding bethe ansatz equations", "generic boundary conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment", "year": 2013, "month": "Jul", "volume": 2013, "number": 7, "pages": "07009" }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1227682, "adsabs": "2013JSMTE..07..009K" } } }
