Zinn-Justin's eigenvector conjecture for the supersymmetric eight-vertex model

About 6 years old · traced to

Let L=2n+1L=2n+1 with n⩾0n\geqslant 0, let η=π/3 \eta=\pi/3, and let VV be the two-dimensional spin space. For inhomogeneity parameters u1,…,u2n+1u_1,\dots,u_{2n+1}, consider the eigenvalue problem

T(u∣u1,…,u2n+1)∣Ψ⟩=Θn(u∣u1,…,u2n+1)∣Ψ⟩,F∣Ψ⟩=(−1)n∣Ψ⟩,T(u|u_1,\dots,u_{2n+1})|\Psi\rangle=\Theta_n(u|u_1,\dots,u_{2n+1})|\Psi\rangle,\qquad F|\Psi\rangle=(-1)^n|\Psi\rangle,

with ∣Ψ⟩∈V2n+1|\Psi\rangle\in V^{2n+1}. Here pp is the elliptic nome, the σjz\sigma_j^z are Pauli spin operators, and …\dots denotes omission of the indicated inhomogeneity. Zinn-Justin's conjecture. The solution space is spanned by a vector

∣Ψn⟩=∣Ψn(u1,…,u2n+1)⟩∈V2n+1,|\Psi_n\rangle=|\Psi_n(u_1,\dots,u_{2n+1})\rangle\in V^{2n+1},

whose components are entire functions of each uiu_i, are generically non-vanishing, and have no common factor depending on u1,…,u2n+1u_1,\dots,u_{2n+1}. Moreover, for every i=1,…,2n+1i=1,\dots,2n+1,

∣Ψn(…,ui+2πτ,… )⟩=p−4ne−2i∑j=12n+1(ui−uj)∣Ψn(…,ui,… )⟩,|\Psi_n(\dots,u_i+2\pi\tau,\dots)\rangle=p^{-4n}e^{-2\mathrm{i}\sum_{j=1}^{2n+1}(u_i-u_j)}|\Psi_n(\dots,u_i,\dots)\rangle, ∣Ψn(…,ui+π,… )⟩=∏j=1,j≠i2n+1σjz∣Ψn(…,ui,… )⟩.|\Psi_n(\dots,u_i+\pi,\dots)\rangle=\prod_{j=1,j\neq i}^{2n+1}\sigma_j^z|\Psi_n(\dots,u_i,\dots)\rangle.

The conjecture characterizes the inhomogeneous eigenvector associated with the doubly degenerate supersymmetric eigenvalue and asserts its analytic and quasiperiodic properties. Existence is known for small nn, while a rigorous proof for arbitrary nn was not established in the source.
