We obtain the homogeneous zero points Bethe ansatz equations and the corresponding patterns of zero points. Based on these patterns and the constraints between the zero points, we calculate the densities of zero points and the exact surface energies of the model in all regimes of the boundary parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-06T09:25:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exact surface energy", "generic non-diagonal boundary", "heisenberg chain", "zero points bethe ansatz equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
