Abstract:

The $XXZ$ Heisenberg chain is considered for two specific limits of the anisotropy parameter: $\Delta \to 0$ and $\Delta \to -\infty$. The corresponding wave functions are expressed in terms of symmetric Schur functions. Certain expectation values and thermal correlation functions of the ferromagnetic string operators are calculated over the basis of $N$-particle Bethe states. The thermal correlator of the ferromagnetic string is expressed through the generating function of the lattice paths of random walks of vicious walkers. A relationship between the expectation values obtained and the generating functions of strict plane partitions in a box is discussed. An asymptotic estimate of the thermal correlator of the ferromagnetic string is obtained in the zero temperature limit. It is shown that its amplitude is related to the number of plane partitions.
