On the transfer matrix of the supersymmetric eight-vertex model. II. Open boundary conditions

Abstract: The transfer matrix of the square-lattice eight-vertex model on a strip with L 1 vertical lines and open boundary conditions is investigated. It is shown that for vertex weights a, b, c, d that obey the relation (a 2 + ab)(b 2 + ab) = (c 2 + ab)(d 2 + ab) and appropriately chosen K-matrices K ± this transfer matrix possesses the remarkably simple, non-degenerate eigenvalue ΛL = (a + b) 2L tr(K + K − ). For positive vertex weights, ΛL is shown to be the largest transfer-matrix eigenvalue. The corresponding eige… Show more

“…In the trigonometric limit, these correlation functions are known [35,37]. Finally, we mention that there is a conjecture for a simple eigenvalue of the transfer matrix of the inhomogeneous supersymmetric eight-vertex model with open boundary conditions [38]. A characterisation of its eigenspace, similar to Conjecture 2.1, is still to be found.…”

“…First, an obvious generalisation is the extension of the present results to other boundary conditions. In a companion paper [35], we consider the supersymmetric eight-vertex model on a strip and the related XYZ chain with open boundary conditions. We classify all boundary terms that are compatible with a lattice supersymmetry.…”
