The presentation follows Bethe's original work very closely. A detailed description and a complete classification of all two-magnon scattering states and two-magnon bound states are given for finite and infinite chains. The paper is designed as a tutorial for beginning graduate students. It includes 10 problems for further study.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-09-10T19:43:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bethe ansatz", "introduction", "bethes original work", "two-magnon bound states", "two-magnon scattering states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998cond.mat..9162K" } } }
