Title:Invariant subspaces and explicit Bethe vectors in the integrable open spin $1/2$ $\XYZ$ chain

Abstract:We derive a criterion under which splitting of all eigenstates of an open $\XYZ$ Hamiltonian with boundary fields into two invariant subspaces, spanned by chiral shock states, occurs. The splitting is governed by an integer number, which has the geometrical meaning of the maximal number of kinks in the basis states. We describe the generic structure of the respective Bethe vectors. We obtain explicit expressions for Bethe vectors, in the absence of Bethe roots, and those generated by one Bethe root, and investigate the \multiplet. We also describe in detail an elliptic analogue of the spin-helix state, appearing in both the periodic and the open $\XYZ$ model, and derive the eigenstate condition. The elliptic analogue of the spin-helix state is characterized by a quasi-periodic modulation of the magnetization profile, governed by Jacobi elliptic functions.
