Massless Thirring Model and Bethe Ansatz Wavefunction

Abstract

The quantum one-dimensional massless Thirring model is studied. A transformation which casts the massless Thirring model into a quadratic form is found. The transformed field operators satisfy interesting commutation relations, fermion anti-commutation relations among the same kinds of fields and anyon-like commutation relations between different kinds. Bethe Ansatz wavefunctions are constructed algebraically using the transformation and the commutation relations in coordinate space.
