We show in a simple analytical fashion, that the usual ``string hypothesis\" incorrectly predicts the number of real solutions and the number of complex solutions for $N>21$ in the sector with two spins flipped, confirming the work of Essler et al. Two complex pair solutions drop out and form two additional real pair solutions. We also introduce a new set of variables which allows the equations to be written as a single polynomial equation in one variable. We consider in some detail the case of three spins flipped.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1993-04-26T21:40:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bethe ansatz equations", "string hypothesis", "xxx-heisenberg", "additional real pair solutions", "complex pair solutions drop" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "Plain TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 35267 } } }
