Abstract: We review recent results on the Bethe Ansatz solutions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of an integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain using functional relations which the transfer matrix obeys at roots of unity. First, we consider a case where at most two of the boundary parameters {{alpha−,alpha+,,}} are nonzero. A generalization of the Baxter T−Q equation that involves more than one independent Q is described. We use this solution to compute the boundary energy of the chain in the thermodynamic limit. We conclude the paper with a review of some results for the general integrable boundary terms, where all six boundary parameters are arbitrary.


This short review paper describes recent results by the author and coworkers on a Bethe ansatz analysis of the \(XXZ\) chain with a general class of integrable boundary conditions. Also the boundary energy is computed.
