Multiple reference states and complete spectrum of the $Z_n$ Belavin model with open boundaries

Abstract

The multiple reference state structure of the $\Z_n$ Belavin model with non-diagonal boundary terms is discovered. It is found that there exist $n$ reference states, each of them yields a set of eigenvalues and Bethe Ansatz equations of the transfer matrix. These $n$ sets of eigenvalues together constitute the complete spectrum of the model. In the quasi-classic limit, they give the complete spectrum of the corresponding Gaudin model.
