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

Let L=2n+1L=2n+1 with n0n\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(uu1,,u2n+1)Ψ=Θn(uu1,,u2n+1)Ψ,FΨ=(1)nΨ,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 ΨV2n+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,)=p4ne2ij=12n+1(uiuj)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,ji2n+1σjzΨn(,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.
