Abstract: (IOP)
We consider the Uqsl(2){U}_{q}{sl}(2)-invariant open spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain of finite length N. For the case that q is a root of unity, we propose a formula for the number of admissible solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations in terms of dimensions of irreducible representations of the Temperley–Lieb algebra, and a formula for the degeneracies of the transfer matrix eigenvalues in terms of dimensions of tilting Uqsl(2){U}_{q}{sl}(2)-modules. These formulas include corrections that appear if two or more tilting modules are spectrum-degenerate. For the XX case (q=eiπ/2q={{\rm{e}}}^{{\rm{i}}\pi /2}), we give explicit formulas for the number of admissible solutions and degeneracies. We also consider the cases of generic q and the isotropic (q1q\to 1) limit. Numerical solutions of the Bethe equations up to N = 8 are presented. Our results are consistent with the Bethe ansatz solution being complete.
