The off-shell equations satisfied by the transfer matrix and the off-shell Bethe vectors allow one to derive a linear system for the scalar product of off-shell and on-shell Bethe states. We show that this linear system can be solved in terms of a compact determinant formula that involves the Jacobian of the transfer matrix eigenvalue and certain q-Pochhammer polynomials of the boundary couplings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-03-23T12:58:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "xxz spin chain", "scalar product", "linear system", "general integrable boundary conditions", "off-shell bethe vectors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
