Description

The main purpose of this report is a thorough analysis of completeness of solutions of the one-dimensional Heisenberg Hamiltonian through the hypothesis of strings. A somehow astonishing conclusion emerges from studying of the structure of the classical configuration space of this system. Namely, all allowed information concerning quantum states, which are exact solutions of the Bethe equations, encoded in quantum numbers, are predictable via a bijection between the set of the magnetic configurations and the string configurations. This startling and beautiful observation constitutes the proof of the completeness of the eigenstates of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, deduced in a purely combinatorial way. We interpret the set of all magnetic configurations with a fixed number r of spin deviations as the classical configuration space of a hypothetic system of r Bethe pseudoparticles, which move, in a stroboscopic manner, on the magnetic ring. The geometry of this configuration space, induced by the action of Heisenberg Hamiltonian and the translation symmetry group of the ring, implies the structure of a locally r-dimensional hypercubic lattice with well defined F-dimensional boundaries, 1 ≤ F ≤ r. We demonstrate that rigged string configurations originate from these boundaries, depending upon the island structure of spin deviations. We show that a relatively simple combinatoric definition of rigged strings reproduces completely exact results of Bethe Ansatz. It is expressed in terms of a combined bijection: Robinson-Schensted with Kerov- Kirillov-Reshetikhin (RSKKR) which produces a geography of exact Bethe Ansatz solutions on the classical configuration space
