Coordinate-basis expansion and linear independence of Bethe vectors

About 1 year old · traced to

Let V\mathbb{V} be the coordinate-basis state space, let X\mathcal{X} be its set of coordinate configurations, and let Ξ\Xi be the set of Bethe-root solutions modulo the relevant permutation equivalence. For x∈X\mathbf{x}\in\mathcal{X}, write ∣x⟩∈V|\mathbf{x}\rangle\in\mathbb{V} for the coordinate basis element. For ξ∈Ξ\boldsymbol{\xi}\in\Xi, let ∣ξ⟩∈W|\boldsymbol{\xi}\rangle\in\mathbb{W} be the corresponding Bethe vector, and let ℓ(x,ξ)\ell(\mathbf{x},\boldsymbol{\xi}) be the coefficient map defined in the source.

Bethe-vector basis conjecture. For every ∣x⟩∈V|\mathbf{x}\rangle\in\mathbb{V},

∣x⟩=∑[ξ]∈Ξℓ(x,ξ)∣ξ⟩.|\mathbf{x}\rangle=\sum_{[\boldsymbol{\xi}]\in\Xi}\ell(\mathbf{x},\boldsymbol{\xi})|\boldsymbol{\xi}\rangle.

Moreover, the set {∣ξ⟩∣[ξ]∈Ξ}\{|\boldsymbol{\xi}\rangle\mid[\boldsymbol{\xi}]\in\Xi\} is linearly independent.

This claim would give an explicit inverse transformation from the Bethe-vector, or energy, basis to the coordinate basis and would prove completeness constructively. The source proves the claim at Δ=0\Delta=0 and reports numerical verification for other values of Δ\Delta, but does not establish it in general.
