The spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain with two types of boundary terms is considered. For the first type, the Hamiltonian is hermitian but not for the second type which includes the U_{q}[SU(2)] symmetric case. It is shown that for a certain…
In this letter I consider mainly a finite XXZ spin chain with periodic boundary conditions and \bf{odd} \rm number of sites. This system is described by the Hamiltonian $H_{xxz}=-\sum_{j=1}^{N}\{\sigma_j^{x}\sigma_{j+1}^{x}…
