Fateev-Zamolodchikov spin chain: excitation spectrum, completeness and thermodynamics

Abstract

The sector of zero $Z_N$-charge is studied for the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) version of the $Z_N\times Z_2$ invariant Fateev-Zamolodchikov quantum spin chain. We conjecture that the relevant Bethe ansatz equations should admit, beside the usual string-like solutions, exceptional multiplets, and a number of non-physical solutions. Once the physical ones are identified, we show how to get completeness and the gapless excitation spectrum. The central charge is computed from the specific heat and found to be $c=2\frac{N-1}{N+2}$ (FM) and $c=1$ (AFM).
