Sum-of-components formula conjecture for odd XXZ ground states

About 26 years old · traced to

Let N=2n+1N=2n+1 be odd, let Nn{\mathcal N}_n be the norm of the ground state, and let the state vector have components in the spin-configuration basis. Sum-of-components conjecture. The sum of all components of the state vector is

(3)nNn.(\sqrt{3})^n{\mathcal N}_n.

The formula is inferred from the computed cases in the paper and is not proved there.
