Abstract

We investigate integrable boundary states in the anisotropic Heisenberg chain under periodic or twisted boundary conditions, for both even and odd system lengths. Our work demonstrates that the concept of integrable boundary states can be readily generalized. For the XXZ spin chain, we present a set of factorized integrable boundary states using the KT-relation, and these states are also applicable to the XYZ chain. It is shown that a specific set of eigenstates of the transfer matrix can be selected by each boundary state, resulting in an explicit selection rule for the Bethe roots.
