In the particular case when both Bethe vectors are on shell, we obtain a determinant representation for the norm of on-shell Bethe vector and prove or- thogonality of the on-shell vectors corresponding to the different eigenvalues of the transfer matrix.

Besides the studying the spectra of quantum Hamiltonians, this method is also used to calculate the correlation functions [18, 21, 25, 27]. The main tool for solving this problem within the framework of the ABA is the calculation of scalar products of Bethe vectors. In this context, it should be noted works [16, 17, 26] in which the norm of the Hamiltonian eigenstate (on-shell Bethe vector) was computed, and also paper [31], where a compact determinant formula was obtained for the scalar product of off-shell and on-shell Bethe vectors (OFS-ONS scalar product). The results listed above concern models possessing U(1) symmetry. However, in real physical systems this symmetry can often be violated, for example, because of non-trivial boundary conditions. The study of quantum integrable models without U(1) symmetry has led to the development of new techniques to perform the ABA [29]. Among the proposed methods such as the off-diagonal Bethe ansatz [10, 11, 28, 33] or the separation of the variables [13, 22, 30], the modified algebraic Bethe ansatz (MABA) allows one to understand this new method from the ABA point of view [1, 3, 4, 5, 12]. This paper is a continuation of the series of works [6, 8, 9] devoted to the study of the MABA. We consider closed XXX spin-1 2 chain with the Hamiltonian H = N∑ k=1 ( σxk ⊗ σxk+1 + σyk ⊗ σ y k+1 + σzk ⊗ σzk+1 ) , (1.1) subject to the following non-diagonal boundary conditions γσxN+1 = κ̃2 + κ2 − κ2 + − κ2 − 2 σx1 + i κ2 − κ̃2 − κ2 + + κ2 − 2 σy1 + (κκ− − κ̃κ+)σz1 , (1.2) mailto:email@address mailto:email@address https://doi.org/10.3842/SIGMA.2019.066 2 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov γσyN+1 = i κ̃2 − κ2 − κ2 + + κ2 − 2 σx1 + κ̃2 + κ2 + κ2 + + κ2 − 2 σy1 − i(κ̃κ+ + κκ−)σz1 , (1.3) γσzN+1 = (κκ+ − κ̃κ−)σx1 + i(κ̃κ− + κκ+)σy1 + (κ̃κ+ κ+κ−)σz1 . (1.4) The twist parameters {κ, κ̃, κ+, κ−} are generic complex numbers and γ = κ̃κ − κ+κ−. The Pauli matrices1 σαk with α = x, y, z act non-trivially on the kth component of the quantum space H = ⊗Nk=1Vk with Vk = C2. The main object of our study is the OFS-ONS scalar product. It was conjectured in [6] that this scalar product admits a determinant representation similar to the one obtained in [24, 31] in the case of the usual ABA. In this paper we prove this conjecture. The main tool of our prove is an analog of Izergin–Korepin formula for the scalar product of off-shell Bethe vectors [20, 26] (see (3.6)). This formula was generalized for the case of the MABA in [9]. In this paper we specify it to the particular case when one of the Bethe vectors is on-shell. This allows us to compute the sum over partitions of the Bethe parameters in the form of a single determinant. In the particular case, the obtained determinant representation describes the norm of on-shell Bethe vector. This representation also allows us to prove orthogonality of the on-shell vectors corresponding to the different eigenvalues of the transfer matrix. The paper is organised as follows. In Section 2 we recall basic notions of the MABA and define modified Bethe vectors. We also introduce notation used in the paper. In Section 3 we give definition of a modified Izergin determinant, which is one of the most important tools for studying scalar products of the modified Bethe vectors. Section 4 contains the main results of the paper. Here we give different determinant representations for OFS-ONS scalar product, a determinant formula for the norm of the modified on-shell Bethe vector, and different forms of the inhomogeneous Bethe equations. In the rest of the paper we present the proofs of the results of Section 4. In Section 5 we prove alternative forms of the inhomogeneous Bethe equations. In Section 6 we consider some properties of the on-shell modified Izergin determinant. Finally, in Section 7 we present the proof of determinant formula for OFS-ONS scalar product. In particular, we prove the equivalence of two determinant representations for OFS-ONS scalar product in Section 7.1. Several useful formulas and auxiliary lemmas are gathered in appendices. Appendix A contains a list of properties of the modified Izergin determinant. In Appendix B, we give some identities for rational functions. Appendices C and D are devoted to the properties of the on-shell modified Izergin determinants. 2 Basic notions To describe the Hamiltonian (1.1) within the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method (QISM), we first introduce a gl2-invariant R-matrix acting in C2 ⊗ C2: R(u, v) = u− v c I + P. (2.1) Here c is a constant, I is the identity operator, and P is the permutation operator. The R- matrix (2.1) is called gl2-invariant, because [R(u, v),K ⊗K] = 0, for any matrix K ∈ gl2. The key object of the QISM is a quantum monodromy matrix T (u) = ( t11(u) t12(u) t21(u) t22(u) ) . (2.2) 1σz = ( 1 0 0 −1 ) , σ+ = ( 0 1 0 0 ), σ− = ( 0 0 1 0 ), σx = σ+ + σ−, σy = i(σ− − σ+). Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 3 This matrix acts as a 2 × 2 matrix in auxiliary space C2. The entries tij(u) are operators depending on a complex parameter u and acting in the Hilbert space H of the Hamiltonian (1.1). The commutation relations of these operators are given by an RTT -relation R(u, v) ( T (u)⊗ I )( I ⊗ T (v) ) = ( I ⊗ T (v) )( T (u)⊗ I ) R(u, v). Here I is the identity operator in C2. Equivalently, these commutation relations can be written in the form [tij(u), tkl(v)] = g(u, v) ( tkj(v)til(u)− tkj(u)til(v) ) . To obtain the Hamiltonian (1.1) we first introduce an inhomogeneous monodromy matrix T (u) = R0N (u, θN ) · · ·R01(u, θ1), (2.3) where θj are inhomogeneity parameters. Each R-matrix R0k(u, θk) in (2.3) acts non-trivially in the space V0 ⊗ Vk, where V0 is the auxiliary space of the monodromy matrix and Vk is the quantum space associated with the kth site of the chain. The Hamiltonian of the XXX chain with periodic boundary conditions can be obtained from the monodromy matrix (2.3) in the homogeneous limit θj = 0, j = 1, . . . , N (see [2]). In order to obtain the Hamiltonian (1.1) with the boundary condition (1.2)–(1.4) we introduce a twisted monodromy matrix TK(u) = KT (u), K = ( κ̃ κ+ κ− κ ) . Then, defining a twisted transfer matrix T (u) by T (u) = trTK(u), we obtain H = 2c d du ( log ( T (u) ))∣∣ u→0, θi→0 −N. It is convenient to present the twist matrix K in the form K = BDA, where A = √ µ  1 ρ2 κ−ρ1 κ+ 1  , B = √ µ  1 ρ1 κ−ρ2 κ+ 1  , D = ( κ̃− ρ1 0 0 κ− ρ2 ) , and the parameters ρi and µ enjoy the following constraints: ρ1ρ2 − ρ2κ̃− ρ1κ+ κ+κ− = 0, µ = 1 1− ρ1ρ2 κ+κ− . (2.4) Then we have T (u) = tr ( DT (u) ) , T (u) = AT (u)B = ( ν11(u) ν12(u) ν21(u) ν22(u) ) . (2.5) Thus, instead of the twisted monodromy matrix TK(u) we can consider a modified monodromy matrix T (u) (2.5). Respectively, the transfer matrix T (u) now can be understood as the trace of the twisted modified monodromy matrix T (u) with the diagonal twist D. 4 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov 2.1 Highest weight representation of the Yangian Recall that the Hilbert space of the Hamiltonian (1.1) is H = ⊗Nk=1Vk, where Vk = C2. We define a highest weight vector |0〉 ∈ H as the state with all spins up |0〉 = ( 1 0 )1 ⊗ · · · ⊗ ( 1 0 )N . Then the action of the monodromy matrix entries tij(u) (2.2) on |0〉 is tii(u)|0〉 = λi(u)|0〉, i = 1, 2, t21(u)|0〉 = 0, (2.6) where λ1(u) = 1 cN N∏ k=1 (u− θk + c), λ2(u) = 1 cN N∏ k=1 (u− θk). (2.7) The representation space of the Yangian is then spanned by the Bethe vectors Bm 0 (v̄) Bm 0 (v̄) = m∏ i=1 t12(vi)|0〉, m = 0, 1, . . . , N, which provide a formal basis depending on the parameters v̄ = {v1, . . . , vm}. To study scalar products of Bethe vectors we also consider the dual highest weight vector 〈0| = |0〉T belonging to the dual space H∗. This vector possesses the following properties 〈0|tii(u) = λi(u)〈0|, i = 1, 2, 〈0|t12(u) = 0, 〈0|0〉 = 1, where the functions λi(u) are given by (2.7). Dual Bethe vectors are constructed by successive application of the operator t21 to the vector 〈0| Cm 0 (v̄) = 〈0| m∏ i=1 t21(vi), m = 0, 1, . . . , N. Within the framework of the MABA the states of the space H (resp. the dual space H∗) are generated by the successive application of the operators ν12 (resp. ν21) to the state |0〉 (resp. 〈0|). The modified Bethe vectors are given by Bm(v̄) = m∏ i=1 ν12(vi)|0〉, Cm(v̄) = 〈0| m∏ i=1 ν21(vi). (2.8) In these formulas, v̄ = {v1, . . . , vm} are generic complex numbers. They are called Bethe para- meters. Observe that despite of the new operators νij satisfy the same commutation relations as the tij(z), [νij(u), νkl(v)] = g(u, v) ( νkj(v)νil(u)− νkj(u)νil(v) ) , (2.9) their actions on the highest weight vector (2.6) change. It is easy to see that now they are given by ν11(u)|0〉 = λ1(u)|0〉+ β2ν12(u)|0〉, ν22(u)|0〉 = λ2(u)|0〉+ β1ν12(u)|0〉, ν21(u)|0〉 = ( β1λ1(u) + β2λ2(u) ) |0〉+ β1β2ν12(u)|0〉, where βi = ρi/κ +. Concluding this section we would like to mention that the operators tii(u) are polynomials in u of degree N , while tij(u) with i 6= j are polynomials in u of degree N − 1. This statement follows from representation (2.3) and (2.1). Since for generic twist parameters, any νij(u) is a linear combination of all tkl(u), we conclude that the operators νij(u) are polynomials in u of degree N for all i and j. Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 5 2.2 Shorthand notation Before moving on, we introduce a notation and several important conventions that will be used throughout the paper. First of all, we introduce the following rational functions: g(u, v) = c u− v , f(u, v) = 1 + g(u, v) = u− v + c u− v , h(u, v) = f(u, v) g(u, v) = u− v + c c . (2.10) Actually, all these functions depend on the difference of their arguments. However, we do not stress this dependence, which will allow us to introduce special shorthand notation for their products. It is easy to see that the functions introduced above possess the following properties: χ(u, v) ∣∣∣ c→−c = χ(v, u), χ(−u,−v) = χ(v, u), χ(u− c, v) = χ(u, v + c), where χ is any of the three functions. One can also convince himself that g(u, v − c) = 1 h(u, v) , h(u, v + c) = 1 g(u, v) , f(u, v + c) = 1 f(v, u) . (2.11) Let us formulate now a convention on the notation. We denote sets of variables by a bar, for example, ū = {u1, . . . , un}. Notation ū± c means that ±c is added to all the arguments of the set ū. Individual elements of the sets or subsets are denoted by Latin subscripts, for instance, uj is an element of ū. As a rule, the number of elements in the sets is not shown explicitly in the equations, however we give these cardinalities in special comments to the formulas, if necessary. We also consider subsets of variables. We agree upon that the notation ūk refers to a subset that is complementary to the element uk, that is, ūk = ū \ uk. In all other cases, we denote subsets by subscripts so that they can be easily distinguished from the elements of sets. In particular, when dealing with partitions of the sets into subsets we mostly denote the latter by the Roman numbers ūI, ūII, and so on. Notation {ūI, ūII} ` ū means that the set ū is divided into two disjoint subsets ūI and ūII. The order of the elements in each subset is not essential. To make the formulas more compact, we use a shorthand notation for the products of the rational functions (2.10), the operators νkl(u) (2.2), and the vacuum eigenvalues λi(u) (2.6). Namely, if a function (an operator) depends on a (sub)set of variables, then one should take a product with respect to the corresponding (sub)set. For example, νkl(ū) = ∏ uj∈ū νkl(uj), f(z, ūI) = ∏ uj∈ūI f(z, uj), f(ūk, uk) = ∏ uj∈ū uj 6=uk f(uj , uk). (2.12) Note that due to commutativity of the νkl-operators (which follows from (2.9)) the first product in (2.12) is well defined. Notation f(ū, v̄) means a double product over the sets ū and v̄. By definition any product over the empty set is equal to 1. A double product is equal to 1 if at least one of the sets is empty. In particular, using this convention we can write down the modified Bethe vectors and their dual ones (2.8) in the form Bm(v̄) = ν12(v̄)|0〉, Cm(v̄) = 〈0|ν21(v̄), where v̄ = {v1, . . . , vm}. The eigenvalues (2.7) take the form λ1(u) = h(u, θ̄), λ2(u) = g(u, θ̄)−1, λ1(u) λ2(u) = f(u, θ̄), (2.13) where θ̄ = {θ1, . . . , θN}. 6 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov 2.3 On-shell Bethe vectors Within the framework of the MABA the operator (2.5) T (z) = tr ( DT (z) ) = (κ̃− ρ1)ν11(z) + (κ− ρ2)ν22(z) appears to be a generating function of the integrals of motion. Thus, the eigenstates of this operator also are the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian (1.1). They are commonly called modified on-shell Bethe vectors. The on-shell Bethe vectors in the MABA solvable models were found in [6, 10, 12]. Here we briefly recall this construction. Let ū = {u1, . . . , uN}, where N is the number of sites of the chain. Then a modified Bethe vector BN (ū) (2.8) becomes on-shell, if the Bethe parameters ū satisfy a system of modified Bethe equations (κ− ρ2)λ2(uj)f(uj , ūj)− (κ̃− ρ1)λ1(uj)f(ūj , uj) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(uj , ūj)λ1(uj)λ2(uj) = 0, (2.14) for j = 1, . . . , N . Then T (z)BN (ū) = Λ(z|ū)BN (ū), where the eigenvalue Λ(z|ū) is Λ(z|ū) = (κ̃− ρ1)λ1(z)f(ū, z) + (κ− ρ2)λ2(z)f(z, ū) + (ρ1 + ρ2)λ1(z)λ2(z)g(z, ū). (2.15) For further application, it is convenient to introduce a function (cf. [23]) Y(z|ū) = Λ(z|ū) λ2(z)g(z, ū) . (2.16) The explicit expression for this function reads Y(z|ū) = (−1)N (κ̃− ρ1) λ1(z) λ2(z) h(ū, z) + (κ− ρ2)h(z, ū) + (ρ1 + ρ2)λ1(z). Then Bethe equations (2.14) take the form Y(uj |ū) = 0, j = 1, . . . , N. Similarly, a modified dual Bethe vector CN (ū) (2.8) becomes on-shell, if the Bethe parameters ū satisfy the system (2.14). Then CN (ū)T (z) = Λ(z|ū)CN (ū), with the eigenvalue (2.15). The main goal of this paper is to study the scalar products of the modified Bethe vectors, in which at least one of the vectors is on-shell. In fact, it is enough to consider the case when the vector BN (ū) is on-shell, while the dual state CN (v̄) is a generic modified dual Bethe vector (see (3.7) below). 3 Modified Izergin determinant and scalar products Within the framework of the ABA, the Izergin determinant allows us to obtain a formula for the scalar product of Bethe vectors as a sum over partitions of the Bethe parameters [20, 26]. For the MABA, we should introduce the modified Izergin determinant. Then one can obtain an analogous formula for the scalar product of the modified Bethe vectors [9]. Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 7 3.1 Modified Izergin determinant Definition 3.1. Let ū = {u1, . . . , un}, v̄ = {v1, . . . , vm}, and z be complex numbers. Then the modified Izergin determinant K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) is defined by K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) = det m ( −zδjk + f(ū, vj)f(vj , v̄j) h(vj , vk) ) . (3.1) Alternatively the modified Izergin determinant can be presented as K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) = (1− z)m−n det n ( δjkf(uj , v̄)− z f(uj , ūj) h(uj , uk) ) . (3.2) Recall that we use the shorthand notation for the products (2.12) in representations (3.1) and (3.2). The proof of the equivalence of these representations can be found in [19]. It is based on the recursive property (A.6). It is also convenient to introduce a conjugated modified Izergin determinant as K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) = K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) ∣∣∣ c→−c = det m ( −zδjk + f(vj , ū)f(v̄j , vj) h(vk, vj) ) , (3.3) or equivalently, K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) = (1− z)m−n det n ( δjkf(v̄, uj)− z f(ūj , uj) h(uk, uj) ) . In the particular case z = 1 and #ū = #v̄ = n the modified Izergin determinant turns into the ordinary Izergin determinant, that we traditionally denote by Kn(ū|v̄): K(1) n,n(ū|v̄) = Kn(ū|v̄). This property can be seen from the recursion (A.6) and the initial condition (A.2). Let us recall one more representation for the ordinary Izergin determinant [20] Kn(ū|v̄) = h(ū, v̄)∆′(ū)∆(v̄) det n ( g(uj , vk) h(uj , vk) ) , (3.4) where ∆(v̄) = ∏ 1≤j<k≤n g(vk, vj), ∆′(ū) = ∏ 1≤j<k≤n g(uj , uk). (3.5) It is easy to see that the modified Izergin determinants K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) and K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) are rational functions of ū and v̄. They are symmetric over ū and symmetric over v̄. Other properties of the modified Izergin determinant are collected in Appendix A. 3.2 Scalar product Definition 3.2. Let ū = {u1, . . . , un}, v̄ = {v1, . . . , vm}. The scalar product of two modified Bethe vectors is defined as Sm,nν (v̄, ū) = Cm(v̄)Bn(ū) = 〈0|ν21(v̄)ν12(ū)|0〉. The function Sm,nν (v̄, ū) has several important properties. First, it follows from the commuta- tion relations [ν12(u), ν12(v)] = 0 and [ν21(u), ν21(v)] = 0 that the scalar product is a symmetric function of v̄ and a symmetric function of ū. Furthermore, since any νij(z) is a polynomial in z of degree N , the scalar product is a polynomial in any vj and in any uj of degree N . 8 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov Proposition 3.3 ([9]). Let #ū = n and #v̄ = m. Then Sm,nν (v̄, ū) = µ2m(µ− 1)n−m ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βpII−qII1 βpI−qI2 λ2(v̄I)λ1(v̄II)λ2(ūII)λ1(ūI) × f(v̄I, v̄II)f(ūII, ūI)K (1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II)K (1/µ) qI,pI (ūI|v̄I). (3.6) Here pI = #v̄I, pII = #v̄II, qI = #ūI, and qII = #ūII. The sum is taken over all partitions {v̄I, v̄II} ` v̄ and {ūI, ūII} ` ū. There is no restriction on the cardinalities of the subsets. The functions K (1/µ) qII,pII and K (1/µ) qI,pI respectively are the modified Izergin determinants (3.1) and (3.3) at z = 1/µ. Equation (3.6) was derived in [9]. Proposition 3.4. The scalar product of generic modified Bethe vectors satisfies a condition Sm,nν (v̄, ū) = ( κ− κ+ )m−n Sn,mν (ū, v̄). (3.7) Proof. Replacing in (3.6) ū↔ v̄, n↔ m, qI ↔ pI, and qII ↔ pII we obtain Sn,mν (ū, v̄) = µ2n(µ− 1)m−n ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βqII−pII1 βqI−pI2 λ2(ūI)λ1(ūII)λ2(v̄II)λ1(v̄I) × f(ūI, ūII)f(v̄II, v̄I)K (1/µ) pII,qII (v̄II|ūII)K (1/µ) pI,qI (v̄I|ūI). (3.8) Using (A.1) we find K(1/µ) pII,qII (v̄II|ūII)K (1/µ) pI,qI (v̄I|ūI) = ( 1− 1 µ )n−m K (1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II)K(1/µ) qI,pI (ūI|v̄I), and hence, Sn,mν (ū, v̄) = µn+m ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βqII−pII1 βqI−pI2 λ2(ūI)λ1(ūII)λ2(v̄II)λ1(v̄I) × f(ūI, ūII)f(v̄II, v̄I)K (1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II)K(1/µ) qI,pI (ūI|v̄I). Relabeling the subsets as ūI ↔ ūII and v̄I ↔ v̄II (and respectively relabeling their cardinalities) we finally arrive at Sn,mν (ū, v̄) = µn+m(β1β2)n−m ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βpII−qII1 βpI−qI2 λ2(ūII)λ1(ūI)λ2(v̄I)λ1(v̄II) × f(ūII, ūI)f(v̄I, v̄II)K (1/µ) qI,pI (ūI|v̄I)K(1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II). (3.9) Comparing equations (3.9) and (3.8) we see that Sm,nν (v̄, ū) Sn,mν (ū, v̄) = ( µβ1β2 µ− 1 )n−m , and substituting here explicit expressions for βi = ρi/κ+ and µ (2.4) we immediately arrive at (3.7). � Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 9 4 Main results In this section we give a list of the main results obtained in this paper. Most of the proofs are given in the remaining part of the text. 4.1 Determinant representations for the scalar product Theorem 4.1. Let #ū = #v̄ = N . Let the set ū solve Bethe equations (2.14), while the set v̄ consist of arbitrary complex numbers. Then the scalar product SNν (v̄, ū) of the modified on-shell Bethe vector BN (ū) and generic dual modified Bethe vector CN (v̄) has the following determinant representation: SNν (v̄, ū) = (µβ)N∆(v̄)∆′(ū)λ2(ū)λ2(v̄) (βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1)N K (−1/β) N,N (ū|θ̄) det N ( c g(vk, ū)λ2(vk) ∂Λ(vk|ū) ∂uj ) . (4.1) Here Λ(v|ū) is the eigenvalue (2.15), β = ρ1/ρ2, and ∆(v̄), ∆′(ū) are given by (3.5) with n = N . Representation (4.1) was conjectured in [6]. We also would like to point out that similarly to the scalar products of on-shell and off-shell Bethe vectors in ABA [24, 31] this representation involves Jacobian of the transfer matrix eigenvalue: c g(vk, ū)λ2(vk) ∂Λ(vk|ū) ∂uj = (−1)N−1(κ̃− ρ1) λ1(vk) λ2(vk) g(uj , vk) h(uj , vk) h(ū, vk) + (κ− ρ2) g(vk, uj) h(vk, uj) h(vk, ū) + (ρ1 + ρ2)λ1(vk)g(vk, uj). (4.2) Theorem 4.2. Under the condition of Theorem 4.1 the scalar product has the following deter- minant representation: SNν (v̄, ū) = λ2(ū)λ2(v̄) (µ α )N K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄), (4.3) where α = κ− ρ2 κ̃− ρ1 . (4.4) The equivalence of representations (4.1) and (4.3) is proved in Section 7.1. Corollary 4.3. Dual and ordinary modified on-shell Bethe vectors corresponding to different eigenvalues are orthogonal. Proof. Let γj = g(uj , ūj) g(uj , v̄) . Observe that if the vectors BN (ū) and CN (v̄) correspond to different transfer matrix eigenvalues (i.e., ū 6= v̄), then there exists at least one γj 6= 0. Using formulas of Appendix B.1 we obtain N∑ j=1 cγj g(vk, ū)λ2(vk) ∂Λ(vk|ū) ∂uj = − 1 g(vk, v̄k) ( (κ̃− ρ1) λ1(vk) λ2(vk) f(v̄k, vk) − (κ− ρ2)f(vk, v̄k) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(vk, v̄k)λ1(vk) ) . (4.5) If the set v̄ satisfies the system of modified Bethe equations (2.14), then the r.h.s. of (4.5) vanishes. Thus, the rows of the matrix (4.2) are linearly dependent, and hence, the Jacobian of the transfer matrix eigenvalue in (4.1) vanishes. � 10 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov Setting v̄ = ū in (4.3) we obtain an expression for square of the norm of on-shell modified Bethe vector2. Another possibility is to set v̄ = ū in (4.1). Then one should resolve singularities in the diagonal elements of (4.2). The result is described by the following theorem. Theorem 4.4. The square of the norm of on-shell modified Bethe vector has the following determinant representation: SNν (ū, ū) = (µβ)N∆(ū)∆′(ū)λ2 2(ū) (βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1)N K (−1/β) N,N (ū|θ̄) det N ( c ∂Y(uk|ū) ∂uj ) , where Y(z|ū) is given by (2.16). Proof. It suffices to substitute vj = uj in (4.1) and compare the result with the partial deriva- tives c∂Y(uk|ū)/∂uj . � 4.2 Alternative form of the Bethe equations The initial form of Bethe equations (2.14) is not always convenient for applications. There exists, however, various alternative forms of these equations. Two of them are described by the following proposition. Proposition 4.5. Inhomogeneous Bethe equations (2.14) can be written in the forms κ− ρ2 f(ū, θj) + (κ̃− ρ1) N∑ k=1 f(θk, θ̄k) h(θk, θj) f(ū, θk) = κ+ κ̃, j = 1, . . . , N, (4.6) or (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, θj) + (κ− ρ2) N∑ k=1 f(θ̄k, θk) h(θj , θk) 1 f(ū, θk) = κ+ κ̃, j = 1, . . . , N. (4.7) The proof of this theorem and other forms of Bethe equations are given in Section 5. 4.3 On-shell modified Izergin determinant Determinant representations for the scalar product (4.1) contains the modified Izergin deter- minant K (z) N,N (ū|θ̄), where the set ū solves Bethe equations (2.14). We call it on-shell modified Izergin determinant. This determinant enjoys an identity described by the following proposition. Proposition 4.6. Let a set ū consist of the roots of Bethe equations (2.14). Then K (z) N,N (ū|θ̄) = N∏ i=1 (di − z), (4.8) for arbitrary complex z. Here di = d± for i = 1, . . . , N , and d± = κ+ κ̃± √ (κ+ κ̃)2 − 4(κ− ρ2)(κ̃− ρ1) 2(κ̃− ρ1) . (4.9) The proof of this proposition is given in Section 6. Remark 4.7. Similar property of the on-shell modified Izergin determinant holds for the XXX spin chain with diagonal boundary condition (see (6.7)). 2Traditionally SNν (ū, ū) = CN (ū)BN (ū) is called the square of the norm even if CN (ū) 6= ( BN (ū) )† . Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 11 5 Proof of the alternative forms of Bethe equations In this section we prove Proposition 4.5. Proof. Let us divide Bethe equations (2.14) by the product λ1(uj)λ2(uj): (κ− ρ2) f(uj , ūj) λ1(uj) − (κ̃− ρ1) f(ūj , uj) λ2(uj) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(uj , ūj) = 0, j = 1, . . . , N. Multiplying each of equations by a monic polynomial Pn(uj) in uj of degree n < N and taking the sum over j we obtain N∑ j=1 ( (κ− ρ2)f(uj , ūj) λ1(uj) − (κ̃− ρ1)f(ūj , uj) λ2(uj) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(uj , ūj) ) Pn(uj) = 0. The sums over j can be written is a contour integral 1 2πic ∮ Γ(ū) ( (κ− ρ2)f(z, ū) λ1(z) + (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, z) λ2(z) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(z, ū) ) Pn(z) dz = 0. Here anticlockwise oriented contour Γ(ū) surrounds the roots of Bethe equations ū and does not contain any other singularities of the integrand. Substituting here explicit expressions for λ1(z) and λ2(z) (2.13) we obtain 1 2πi ∮ Γ(ū) ( (κ− ρ2)f(z, ū) h(z, θ̄) + (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, z)g(z, θ̄) + (ρ1 + ρ2)g(z, ū) ) Pn(z) dz = 0. The integral can now be taken by the residues outside the integration contour, that is in the points z = θk and z = θk − c, k = 1, . . . , N . Taking into account that n < N we find N∑ k=1 ( (κ− ρ2) Pn(θk − c) f(ū, θk) + (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, θk)Pn(θk) ) g(θk, θ̄k) = cN−1(κ+ κ̃)δn,N−1, (5.1) where we used (2.11). This is the most general form of Bethe equations. It involves an arbitrary polynomial Pn(θk) of degree n < N . Now we can consider several particular cases. Let us take a system of polynomials P (j) N−1(z) = cN−1h(z, θ̄j) = N∏ k=1 k 6=j (z − θk + c), j = 1, . . . , N. (5.2) Then equation (5.1) yields N∑ k=1 ( (κ− ρ2) h(θk − c, θ̄j) f(ū, θk) + (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, θk)h(θk, θ̄j) ) g(θk, θ̄k) = κ+ κ̃, j = 1, . . . , N. Using h(θk − c, θ̄j) = δjk/g(θk, θ̄k) we arrive at (4.6). Similarly, setting in (5.1) P (j) N−1(z) = cN−1 g(z, θ̄j) = N∏ k=1 k 6=j (z − θk), j = 1, . . . , N, (5.3) we arrive at (4.7). � 12 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov One can also consider a choice of P (j) N−1(z) that interpolates between (5.2) and (5.3). Let θ̄A and θ̄B be two fixed disjoint subsets of the inhomogeneities such that {θ̄A, θ̄B} = θ̄. Assume that θ̄B 6= ∅. Let P (j) N−1(z) = cN−1g(z, θj) h(z, θ̄A) g(z, θ̄B) , θj ∈ θ̄B. (5.4) Then equation (5.1) takes the form (κ− ρ2) ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θj , θ̄B1) 1 f(ū, θ̄B1) = κ+ κ̃− (κ̃− ρ1)f(ū, θj)f(θj , θ̄A) + (κ̃− ρ1) ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A #θ̄A1 =1 g(θj , θ̄A1)f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2). Here in the l.h.s. the sum is taken over partitions {θ̄B1 , θ̄B2} ` θ̄B such that #θ̄B1 = 1. In the r.h.s. the sum is taken over partitions {θ̄A1 , θ̄A2} ` θ̄A such that #θ̄A1 = 1. Remark 5.1. The examples given above do not exhaust all possible forms of the Bethe equa- tions. In particular, on the basis of the polynomial (5.4) we can construct P (j) N−1(z) = cN−1 ∑ {θ̄A,θ̄B}`θ̄ g(z, θj) h(z, θ̄A) g(z, θ̄B) G(θ̄A, θ̄B), θj ∈ θ̄B, (5.5) where G(θ̄A, θ̄B) is some function that depends on the subsets θ̄A and θ̄B. An example of the polynomial (5.5) is considered in Appendix D.2. 6 Proof of the on-shell modified Izergin determinant properties In this section we prove Proposition 4.6. Proof. Let us introduce two N ×N matrices Ω(θ̄) and Z: Ωjk(θ̄) = f(θk, θ̄k) h(θk, θj) , Zjk = Ωjk(θ̄)f(ū, θk), j, k = 1, . . . , N. Then the system of equations (4.6) takes the form κ− ρ2 f(ū, θj) + (κ̃− ρ1) N∑ k=1 Zjk = κ+ κ̃, j = 1, . . . , N. Multiplying each equation by Zij we obtain (κ− ρ2)Ωij(θ̄) + (κ̃− ρ1) N∑ k=1 ZijZjk = (κ+ κ̃)Zij , i, j = 1, . . . , N. Taking the sum over j and using3 N∑ j=1 Ωij(θ̄) = 1, (6.1) 3Equation (6.1) can be derived by the contour integral method described in Appendix B.1. Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 13 we arrive at N∑ k=1 ( (κ− ρ2)δik + (κ̃− ρ1) ( Z2 ) ik − (κ+ κ̃)Zik ) = 0, i = 1, . . . , N. Setting here Z = S−1DS, where D = diag(d1, . . . , dN ), we find N∑ k=1 ( (κ− ρ2)δik + (κ̃− ρ1) ( S−1D2S ) ik − (κ+ κ̃) ( S−1DS ) ik ) = 0, i = 1, . . . , N. Multiplying this equation from the left by S we arrive at N∑ k=1 ( (κ− ρ2) + (κ̃− ρ1)d2 i − (κ+ κ̃)di ) Sik = 0, i = 1, . . . , N. (6.2) Since S is invertible, we conclude that linear combination (6.2) vanishes if and only if (κ̃− ρ1)d2 i − (κ+ κ̃)di + κ− ρ2 = 0, i = 1, . . . , N. (6.3) Thus, the matrix Z has only two eigenvalues d+ and d− (4.9). It also follows from the above consideration that the on-shell modified Izergin determinant K (z) N,N (ū|θ̄) has the following presentation: K (z) N,N (ū|θ̄) = det N (Zjk − zδjk) = N∏ i=1 (di − z), (6.4) for arbitrary complex z, provided the parameters ū are on-shell. Thus, (4.8) is proved. � In particular, setting z = 0 in (6.4) we obtain f(ū, θ̄) = N∏ i=1 di. (6.5) Using equation (6.3) one can find identities for the on-shell modified Izergin determinants with different z. For example, (6.3) yields β(κ− ρ2) βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1 (di − 1) ( di + 1 β ) = di ( di − µ− µ− 1 β ) , i = 1, . . . , N. Taking the product over i we obtain( β(κ− ρ2) βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1 )N N∏ i=1 (di − 1) ( di + 1 β ) = N∏ i=1 di ( di − µ− µ− 1 β ) . Then, due to equations (6.4), (6.5) we find( β(κ− ρ2) βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1 )N K (1) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(−1/β) N,N (ū|θ̄) = f(ū, θ̄)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄). (6.6) Concluding this section we would like to mention that exactly the same method can be used to transform Bethe equations of the XXX spin chain with diagonal boundary condition κ f(uj , ūj) λ1(uj) − κ̃f(ūj , uj) λ2(uj) = 0, j = 1, . . . ,M, 14 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov where #ū = M ≤ N . Similarly to (4.8) we then obtain K (z) M,N (ū|θ̄) = N∏ i=1 (di − z), (6.7) where di ∈ {1, κ/κ̃}. Using definition of the modified Izergin determinant (3.2) we can write down (6.7) as (1− z)N−M det M ( δjkf(uj , θ̄)− z f(uj , ūj) h(uj , uk) ) = N∏ i=1 (di − z). 7 Calculation of the scalar product In this section we prove Theorem 4.1. First, we show the equivalence of representations (4.3) and (4.1). Then we prove (4.3) starting with equation (3.6) and specifying it for the case #ū = #v̄ = N SNν (v̄, ū) = µ2N ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βpII−qII1 βpI−qI2 λ2(v̄I)λ1(v̄II)λ2(ūII)λ1(ūI)f(v̄I, v̄II)f(ūII, ūI) ×K(1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II)K (1/µ) qI,pI (ūI|v̄I). (7.1) Recall that here the sum is taken over all possible partitions {v̄I, v̄II} ` v̄ and {ūI, ūII} ` ū without any restriction on the cardinalities of the subsets. We have pointed out in Section 3.2 that the function SN (v̄|ū) is a polynomial in v̄ of degree N in each vj . Since this polynomial is symmetric over v̄, it has ( 2N N ) independent coefficients. Hence, in order to find this polynomial, it is enough to compute it in ( 2N N ) points. Let us consider an arbitrary partition of the inhomogeneities θ̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B} with #θ̄A = nA and #θ̄B = nB. Suppose that v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c}. Clearly, there exists exactly ( 2N N ) choices of this type. Hence, if we compute the scalar product for all possible v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c}, then the polynomial is completely determined for an arbitrary set v̄. This will be done in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. 7.1 Transformation of Jacobian In this subsection we reduce the Jacobian of the transfer matrix eigenvalue to the modified Izergin determinant. We thus prove Theorem 4.2. Proof. Assume that representation (4.1) holds. Let M(uj , vk) = c g(vk, ū)λ2(vk) ∂Λ(vk|ū) ∂uj , where Λ(vk|ū) is given by (2.15). Then M(uj , vk) = (−1)N−1(κ̃− ρ1)f(vk, θ̄)h(ū, vk) g(uj , vk) h(uj , vk) + (κ− ρ2)h(vk, ū) g(vk, uj) h(vk, uj) + (ρ1 + ρ2)h(vk, θ̄)g(vk, uj). (7.2) Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 15 Recall that here the set v̄ consists of arbitrary complex numbers, while the set ū solves Bethe equations. Therefore, in particular, the matrix elements (7.2) have no poles at vk = uj : ResM(uj , vk) ∣∣∣ vk=uj = 0. Indeed, it is easy to see that this residue is proportional to the Bethe equations (2.14). Obviously, for any non-degenerated N ×N matrix A, one has det N M = detN H detN A , where H = MA. Let A(vj , θk) = g(vj , v̄j) h(vj , θk) . Then the determinant of this matrix is proportional to the Cauchy determinant det N A(vj , θk) = ∆(v̄) ∆(θ̄)h(v̄, θ̄) , and we obtain det N M = ∆(θ̄)h(v̄, θ̄) ∆(v̄) det N H. Let us compute explicitly the entries Hjl = N∑ k=1 M(uj , vk)A(vk, θl). Consider an auxiliary contour integral I = 1 2πic ∮ |z|=R→∞ g(z, v̄) h(z, θl) M(uj , z) dz. (7.3) It is easy to see that the integrand behaves as z−2 as z →∞. Thus, I = 0. On the other hand, taking the sum of the residues within the integration contour we obtain I = Hjl + (−1)N M(uj , θl − c) h(v̄, θl) + 1 c N∑ k=1 g(θk, v̄) h(θk, θl) ResM(uj , z) ∣∣∣ z=θk . Substituting here explicit representation (7.2) for M(uj , vk) we find (−1)N−1Hjl = (κ− ρ2)g(uj , θl) g(θl, ū)h(v̄, θl)h(uj , θl) − (κ̃− ρ1) N∑ k=1 g(θk, v̄) h(θk, θl) f(θk, θ̄k)h(ū, θk) g(uj , θk) h(uj , θk) = N∑ k=1 (κ− ρ2)g(uj , θk) g(θk, ū)h(v̄, θk)h(uj , θk) ( δkl − κ̃− ρ1 κ− ρ2 f(θk, θ̄k) h(θk, θl) f(ū, θk)f(v̄, θk) ) . Thus det N H = det N H(1) det N H(2), where H (1) jk = (κ− ρ2) g(θk, ū)h(v̄, θk) g(uj , θk) h(uj , θk) , 16 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov and H (2) jk = δjk − κ̃− ρ1 κ− ρ2 f(θj , θ̄j) h(θj , θk) f(ū, θj)f(v̄, θj). It is easy to see that det N H(1) is proportional to the ordinary Izergin determinant (3.4) det N H(1) = (κ− ρ2)N g(θ̄, ū)h(v̄, θ̄) det N ( g(uj , θk) h(uj , θk) ) = (−1)N (κ− ρ2)N h(v̄, θ̄)f(ū, θ̄)∆′(ū)∆(θ̄) K (1) N,N (ū|θ̄), while det N H(2) is proportional to the modified Izergin determinant det N H(2) = (−1)N ( κ̃− ρ1 κ− ρ2 )N K (α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄), where α = κ− ρ2 κ̃− ρ1 . Thus, we finally obtain det N M = (κ̃− ρ1)N f(ū, θ̄)∆′(ū)∆(v̄) K (1) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄). (7.4) We would like to stress that we essentially used the fact that ū satisfies Bethe equations (2.14). Therefore, M(uj , vk) has no pole at vk = uj . Otherwise the contour integral (7.3) would have an additional contribution. Thus, equation (7.4) holds only on-shell, that is ū satisfies Bethe equations (2.14). Substituting (7.4) into (4.1) we obtain SNν (v̄, ū) = ( µβ(κ̃− ρ1) βκ+ κ̃− 2ρ1 )N λ2(ū)λ2(v̄) f(ū, θ̄) K (−1/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(1) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄). Using identity (6.6) we immediately arrive at (4.3). Thus, representations (4.1) and (4.3) are equivalent. � 7.2 Transformation of the scalar product for generic ū We now turn back to equation (7.1). Using equation (A.1) and λ1(uj)/λ2(uj) = f(uj , θ̄) we obtain SNν (v̄, ū) = µ2Nλ2(ū) ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ {ūI,ūII}`ū βpII−qII1 βpI−qI2 ( 1− 1 µ )pI−qI λ2(v̄I)λ1(v̄II)f(ūI, θ̄) × f(v̄I, v̄II)f(ūII, ūI)K (1/µ) qII,pII (ūII|v̄II)K(1/µ) pI,qI (v̄I|ūI). Now we set v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c} and denote the corresponding scalar product by SAB. Since λ2(θj) = 0 and λ1(θj − c) = 0 for all j = 1, . . . , N , we see that the sum over partitions {v̄I, v̄II} ` v̄ is frozen. The only non-vanishing contribution occurs for v̄I = θ̄B − c and v̄II = θ̄A. Then we have SAB = µ2Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ūI,ūII}`ū βnA−qII ( 1− 1 µ )nB−qI f(ūI, θ̄)f(ūII, ūI) ×K(1/µ) qII,nA (ūII|θ̄A)K(1/µ) nB ,qI (θ̄B − c|ūI), (7.5) Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 17 where we used nA + nB = qI + qII = N , and GAB = λ2(θ̄B − c)λ1(θ̄A) f(θ̄A, θ̄B) = (−1)NnB h(θ̄, θ̄B)h(θ̄A, θ̄) f(θ̄A, θ̄B) . (7.6) Recall also that β = β1/β2. Our goal now is to calculate the sum over partitions of the set ū. Using (A.5) we rewrite (7.5) as follows: SAB = µ2Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ūI,ūII}`ū βnA−qII ( − 1 µ )nB f(ūI, θ̄A)f(ūII, ūI) ×K(1/µ) qII,nA (ūII|θ̄A)K(µ) qI,nB (ūI|θ̄B). (7.7) The next step is to use the second equation (A.4) for both modified Izergin determinants in (7.7): K(1/µ) qII,nA (ūII|θ̄A) = ( 1− 1 µ )nA−q2−q4 ∑ {ū2,ū4}`ūII ( − 1 µ )q2 f(ū4, θ̄A)f(ū2, ū4), K(µ) qI,nB (ūI|θ̄B) = (1− µ)nB−q1−q3 ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ūI (−µ)q1f(ū3, θ̄B)f(ū1, ū3). Here we use Arabic numeration of the subsets, in order to avoid too cumbersome Roman nu- merals. We also set qj = #ūj . Substituting these equations into (7.7) we obtain SAB = µ2Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ū1,ū2,ū3,ū4}`ū βnA−q2−q4 ( − 1 µ )N−q1−q4 f(ū3, θ̄B)f(ū1, θ̄A) × f(ū3, θ̄A)f(ū4, θ̄A)f(ū2, ū1)f(ū2, ū3)f(ū4, ū1)f(ū4, ū3)f(ū2, ū4)f(ū1, ū3). (7.8) Here the sum is taken over partitions of the set ū into four subsets {ū1, ū2, ū3, ū4} ` ū. Let ū0 = {ū1, ū4}. Then (7.8) transforms as follows: SAB = µ2Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ū0,ū2,ū3}`ū βnA−q2 ( − 1 µ )N−q0 f(ū0, θ̄A) × f(ū3, θ̄)f(ū2, ū0)f(ū2, ū3)f(ū0, ū3) ∑ {ū1,ū4}`ū0 β−q4f(ū4, ū1), where q0 = #ū0. The sum over partitions is now organized into two steps. First, the set ū is divided into three subsets {ū0, ū2, ū3} ` ū, and then the subset ū0 is divided once more as {ū1, ū4} ` ū0. Obviously, the last sum over partitions of the subset ū0 gives (1+β−1)q0 (see [7]), and we arrive at SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ū0,ū2,ū3}`ū (−µ)q0(1 + β)q0βnA−q2−q0f(ū0, θ̄A)f(ū3, θ̄) × f(ū2, ū0)f(ū2, ū3)f(ū0, ū3). (7.9) Now we combine the subsets ū0 and ū2 into one subset. Let ū1 = {ū0, ū2} with #ū1 = q1. Then equation (7.9) takes the form SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ū βnA−q1f(ū3, θ̄)f(ū1, ū3) × ∑ {ū0,ū2}`ū1 (−µ)q0(1 + β)q0f(ū0, θ̄A)f(ū2, ū0). 18 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov The sum over partitions {ū0, ū2} ` ū1 gives a new modified Izergin determinant due to the second equation (A.4), and we find SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GAB ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ū f(ū3, θ̄)f(ū1, ū3) × βnA−q1(−µ− µβ)nA (1− µ− µβ)nA−q1 K(1/(µ+µβ)) q1,nA (ū1|θ̄A). We now develop the modified Izergin determinant K (1/(µ+µβ)) q1,nA (ū1|θ̄A) via the first equa- tion (A.4), as a sum over partitions {θ̄A1 , θ̄A2} ` θ̄A: SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GAB (µ+ µβ)nAβnA (µ+ µβ − 1)nA ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ū ( 1− µ β − µ )q1 f(ū3, θ̄) × ( − 1 µ+ µβ )nA2 f(ū1, ū3)f(ū1, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2), (7.10) where nA1 = #θ̄A1 , nA2 = #θ̄A2 = nA − nA1 . Let {θ̄B, θ̄A2} = θ̄C . Then (7.10) can be written as follows: SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GAB (µ+ µβ)nAβnA (µ+ µβ − 1)nA ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( − 1 µ+ µβ )nA2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) × ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ū ( 1− µ β − µ )q1 f(ū3, θ̄C)f(ū1, ū3). (7.11) The sum over partitions {ū1, ū3} ` ū gives again the modified Izergin determinant due to the second equation (A.4): ∑ {ū1,ū3}`ū ( 1− µ β − µ )q1 f(ū3, θ̄C)f(ū1, ū3) = ( 1− µ β − µ )N−nB−nA2 K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N−nA1 (ū|{θ̄ \ θ̄A1}). Substituting this into (7.11) we finally arrive at SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GABβ nA (1− µ− µβ)nA ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ξnA1f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) ×K(µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N−nA1 (ū|{θ̄ \ θ̄A1}), (7.12) where ξ = µ β (β + 1)2(µ− 1). (7.13) Thus, we computed the sum over partitions of the set ū. However, instead of the original partitions, we obtained a new sum over partitions of the inhomogeneities θ̄. Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 19 7.3 Further transformation of the scalar product for ū on-shell Observe that up to now the parameters ū were arbitrary complex numbers. Now we require them to be on-shell. Then due to Theorem C.1 we have ξnA1f(ū, θ̄A1)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N−nA1 (ū|{θ̄ \ θ̄A1}) = ηnA1K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(1/η) N,nA1 (ū|θ̄A1), where η = (µ−1 β + µ ) κ̃−ρ1 κ−ρ2 (see (C.1)). Then (7.12) takes the form SAB = (−µ)Nλ2(ū)GABβ nA (1− µ− µβ)nA K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄) × ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ηnA1f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)K (1/η) N,nA1 (ū|θ̄A1). (7.14) The remaining sum over partitions now can be computed via (A.8):∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ηnA1f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)K (1/η) N,nA1 (ū|θ̄A1) = ηnAK (0) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) = ηnAf(ū, θ̄A). Substituting this into (7.14) we immediately arrive at SAB = (−1)nBµNα−nAλ2(ū)GABf(ū, θ̄A)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄), (7.15) where α is given by (4.4). It remains to compare this result with representation (4.3) at v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c}. For this we should calculate λ2(v̄)K (α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄) for given values of v̄. Replacing θ̄A with θ̄A + ε we obtain lim ε→0 λ2(θ̄A + ε)λ2(θ̄B − c)K(α) 2N,N ({ū, θ̄A + ε, θ̄B − c}|θ̄) = (−α)nB lim ε→0 (−1)NnBh(θ̄, θ̄B) g(θ̄A, θ̄A + ε)g(θ̄A, θ̄B) K (α) 2N,N ({ū, θ̄A + ε}|θ̄A), where we used representation (2.13) for the function λ2(u) and reduction property (A.3). Using now (A.7) we find lim ε→0 λ2(θ̄A + ε)λ2(θ̄B − c)K(α) 2N,N ({ū, θ̄A + ε, θ̄B − c}|θ̄) = (−α)nB (−1)NnBh(θ̄, θ̄B)h(θ̄A, θ̄A) g(θ̄A, θ̄B) f(ū, θ̄A) = (−α)nBGABf(ū, θ̄A), where GAB is given by (7.6). Substituting this expression for λ2(v̄)K (α) 2N,N ({ū, v̄}|θ̄) at v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c} into (4.3) we arrive at (7.15). Thus, for an arbitrary partition θ̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B}, the values of the polynomial SNν (v̄, ū) at v̄ = {θ̄A, θ̄B − c} are given by equation (4.3). As we discussed above, this means that SNν (v̄, ū) is given by (4.3) for arbitrary complex v̄. 8 Conclusion In this paper we proved the determinant representation for the OFS-ONS scalar product conjec- tured in [6] within the framework of the MABA. Similarly to the known determinant formulas, this representation contains the Jacobian of the transfer matrix eigenvalue. However, due to the peculiarities of the MABA this Jacobian can be reduced to the modified Izergin determinant. 20 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov This possibility arises due to the fact that the number of the Bethe parameters in the modified on-shell Bethe vector coincides with the number of sites of the chain. In spite of representation (4.1) formally looks very similar to the one obtained in [24, 31] for the XXX chain with periodic boundary conditions, the proof is very different. Recall that the determinant formula [31] for the ABA solvable models holds for the most general case when the Hilbert space of the monodromy matrix entries is not specified. In particular, it can be infinite-dimensional. On the contrary, the proof given in this paper is essentially based on the fact that we work with a finite-dimensional representation of the RTT algebra. In its turn, this yields a set of very specific properties of the on-shell Izergin determinant. The latter also is an essential part of our proof. All this does not mean, however, that there is no other proof of the representation (4.1), which would be more general and would not rely on the properties of a particular model. The are planning to publish such a proof in our forthcoming publication. A Properties of the modified Izergin determinant In this section we give a list of properties of the modified Izergin determinant introduced in Section 3. The proofs can be found in [9]. In all the formulas listed below ū, v̄, and z are arbitrary complex numbers such that #ū = n and #v̄ = m. We begin with a direct relation between modified Izergin determinant and its conjugated: K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) = (1− z)m−nK(z) m,n(v̄|ū), K(z) n,m(−ū| − v̄) = K (z) n,m(ū|v̄). (A.1) Due to this relation all other properties are given for K (z) n,m(ū|v̄) only. • For arbitrary complex w K(z) n,m(ū− w|v̄) = K(z) n,m(ū|v̄ + w). • The modified Izergin determinant has the following initial conditions: K (z) n,0(ū|∅) = 1, K (z) 0,n(∅|v̄) = (1− z)n. (A.2) • If one of the arguments goes to infinity, then K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) ∣∣∣ uk→∞ = K (z) n−1,m(ūk|v̄), K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) ∣∣∣ vk→∞ = (1− z)K(z) n,m−1(ū|v̄k). • For arbitrary complex w K (z) n+1,m+1({ū, w − c}|{v̄, w}) = −zK(z) n,m(ū|v̄). (A.3) • The modified Izergin determinant has the following representations as sums over partitions K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) = ∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ (−z)#v̄IIf(ū, v̄I)f(v̄I, v̄II), K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) = (1− z)m−n ∑ {ūI,ūII}`ū (−z)#ūIf(ūII, v̄)f(ūI, ūII). (A.4) Here the sum is taken over all partitions {v̄I, v̄II} ` v̄ in the first equation, while in the second equation, the sum is taken over all partitions {ūI, ūII} ` ū. Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 21 • The order of the sets ū and v̄ can be changed via K(z) n,m(ū|v̄ + c) = (−z)n(1− z)m−n f(v̄, ū) K(1/z) m,n (v̄|ū). (A.5) • The modified Izergin determinant has simple poles at uj = vk. The residue at un = vm is given by K(z) n,m(ū|v̄) ∣∣∣ un→vm = g(un, vm)f(ūn, un)f(vm, v̄m)K (z) n−1,m−1(ūn|v̄m) + reg, (A.6) where reg means regular part. It follows from (A.6) that if #w̄ = #w̄′ = l, then lim w̄′→w̄ K (z) n+l,m+l(ū|v̄) f(w̄′, w̄) = f(ū, w̄)f(w̄, v̄)K(z) n,m(ū|v̄). (A.7) • Let ū and v̄ be sets of arbitrary complex numbers such that #ū = n and #v̄ = m. Then∑ {v̄I,v̄II}`v̄ zlII1 K (z2) n,lI (ū|v̄I)f(v̄I, v̄II) = K(z2−z1) n,m (ū|v̄). (A.8) Here lII = #v̄II. The sum is taken with respect to all partitions {v̄I, v̄II} ` v̄. There is no any restriction on the cardinalities of the subsets. B Identities for rational functions B.1 Sums of rational functions To prove (4.5) we use the following summation formulas: N∑ j=1 g(uj , vk) h(uj , vk) γj = h(v̄, vk) h(ū, vk) , N∑ j=1 g(vk, uj) h(vk, uj) γj = −h(vk, v̄) h(vk, ū) , N∑ j=1 g(vk, uj)γj = −1. (B.1) All these formulas can be obtained by calculation of special contour integrals. For example, consider an integral I = 1 2πic ∮ |z|=R→∞ g(z, vk) h(z, vk) g(z, ū) g(z, v̄) dz = 1 2πi ∮ |z|=R→∞ cdz (z − vk)(z − vk + c) N∏ i=1 z − vi z − ui . The integration is taken over anticlockwise oriented contour around infinity. Clearly, I = 0, as the integrand behaves as z−2 at z → ∞. On the other hand, the integral is equal to the sum of residues within the contour. The residues at z = uj give the sum in the l.h.s. of the first equation (B.1). One more contribution comes from the residue at z = vk − c. Thus, we obtain I = 0 = N∑ j=1 g(uj , vk) h(uj , vk) γj − N∏ i=1 vk − vi − c vk − ui − c . 22 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov This immediately implies the first identity (B.1). Other identities can be proved exactly in the same manner. Using now representation (4.2) we obtain N∑ j=1 cγj g(vk, ū)λ2(vk) ∂Λ(vk|ū) ∂uj = (−1)N−1(κ̃− ρ1) λ1(vk) λ2(vk) h(v̄, vk) − (κ− ρ2)h(vk, v̄)− (ρ1 + ρ2)λ1(vk), leading to (4.5). B.2 Matrices with rational elements Let x̄ = {x1, . . . , xn} and let Ω(x) be an n× n matrix with the elements Ωjk(x̄) = f(x̄k, xk) h(xj , xk) . Let us prove that the inverse matrix has the following entries:( Ω−1(x̄) ) jk = f(xk, x̄k) h(xk, xj) = Ωjk(x̄) ∣∣∣ c→−c . For this we consider the product of these two matrices. Let Gjk = n∑ l=1 f(x̄l, xl) h(xj , xl) f(xk, x̄k) h(xk, xl) . Consider an auxiliary contour integral I = 1 2πic ∮ |z|=R→∞ f(x̄, z) h(xj , z) f(xk, x̄k) h(xk, z) dz, where the anticlockwise oriented integration contour is around infinite point. Since the integrand behaves as z−2 at z →∞, we have I = 0. On the other hand, this integral is equal to the sum of the residues within the integration contour. The contribution of the poles at z = xl, l = 1, . . . , n gives −Gjk. One more contribution comes from the pole at z = xk+c at j = k. Thus, we obtain I = 0 = −Gjk + δjkf(xk, x̄k)f(x̄k, xk + c) = −Gjk + δjk, where we used (2.11). Thus, Gjk = δjk, what ends the proof. C Relations between on-shell modified Izergin determinants Theorem C.1. Consider an arbitrary partition of inhomogeneities {θ̄A, θ̄B} ` θ̄ such that #θ̄A = nA and θ̄B = N−nA. Let ū be on-shell, that is the set ū satisfies Bethe equations (2.14). Then f(ū, θ̄A)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N−nA (ū|θ̄B) = ( η ξ )nA K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A), where η = ( µ− 1 β + µ ) κ̃− ρ1 κ− ρ2 . (C.1) and ξ is given by (7.13). Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 23 The proof of Theorem C.1 is based on two preparatory lemmas. Lemma C.2. Let θ̄A and θ̄B be two fixed partitions of the set θ̄ such that #θ̄B = nB > 0. Let θj ∈ θ̄B. Then for arbitrary complex γ the following identity holds: ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θj , θ̄B1) K (γ) N,nB−1(ū|θ̄B2) = 1 γ ( f(ū, θj)K (γ) N,nB−1(ū|{θ̄B \ θj})−K(γ) N,nB (ū|θ̄B) ) . Here ū and θ̄ are arbitrary complex numbers. In particular, we do not require the set ū to be on-shell. Lemma C.3. Let θ̄A and θ̄B be two fixed partitions of the set θ̄ such that #θ̄A = nA < N . Let θj ∈ θ̄B and ū be on-shell. Then η ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θs, θ̄B1) K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θ̄B1}) f(ū, θ̄B1) = β µβ + µ− 1 ( ηK (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs})− ξK(1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) ) . (C.2) The proofs of these lemmas respectively are given in Appendices D.1 and D.2. Proof of Theorem C.1. The proof partly uses induction over nA. For nA = 0 the statement of the theorem is obvious. Assume that it is valid for some nA ≥ 0: ξnAf(ū, θ̄A)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB (ū|θ̄B) = ηnAK (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A), Here θ̄A and θ̄B are arbitrary subsets of θ̄ with cardinalities #θ̄A = nA and #θ̄B = nB = N−nA respectively. We assume that K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB (ū|θ̄B) 6= 0 for generic inhomogeneities θ̄ and generic twist parameters. Now we make new subsets. We fix some θ` ∈ θ̄B and consider subsets {θ̄A, θ`} and {θ̄B \ θ`}. Let us introduce Y (θ`) as Y (θ`) = ξnA+1f(ū, θ̄A)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB−1 (ū|{θ̄B \ θ`}) − ηnA+1K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄) K (1/η) N,nA (ū|{θ̄A, θ`}) f(ū, θ`) . (C.3) Obviously, if we prove that Y (θ`) = 0, then we prove Theorem C.1 for n = nA + 1. Let Ω be an nB × nB matrix with the entries Ωjk = f(θ̄Bk , θ B k ) h(θBj , θ B k ) . Here we temporary used a superscript for the subset θ̄B = θ̄B. Respectively, θBk is k-th element of the subset θ̄B. We also used θ̄Bk = θ̄B \ θBk . It can be easily checked (see Appendix B.2) that ( Ω−1 ) jk = f(θBk , θ̄ B k ) h(θBk , θj) . 24 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov Let us compute the action of Ω on the vector Y (C.3). Obviously nB∑ `=1 Ωj`Y (θ`) = ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θj , θ̄B1) Y (θ̄B1). Thus, we can use the results of Lemmas C.2 and C.3. Simple straightforward calculation gives nB∑ `=1 Ωj`Y (θ`) = βf(ū, θj) µβ + µ− 1 Y (θj)− βξ µβ + µ− 1 × { ξnAf(ū, θ̄A)K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB (ū|θ̄B)− ηnAK(µ+(µ−1)/β) N,N (ū|θ̄)K(1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) } . The term in the second line vanishes due to the induction assumption. Hence, nB∑ `=1 Ωj`Y (θ`) = βf(ū, θj) µβ + µ− 1 Y (θj). or equivalently, nB∑ `=1 (( µ+ µ− 1 β ) Ωj` − δj`f(ū, θj) ) Y (θ`) = 0. Multiplying this equation from the left by ( Ω−1 ) ij and taking the sum over θj ∈ θ̄B we arrive at nB∑ `=1 ( f(ū, θi) ( Ω−1 ) i` − ( µ+ µ− 1 β ) δi` ) Y (θ`) = 0. It is easy to see that det ( f(ū, θi) ( Ω−1 ) i` − ( µ+ µ− 1 β ) δi` ) = K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB (ū|θ̄B). Due to the induction assumption K (µ+(µ−1)/β) N,nB (ū|θ̄B) 6= 0. Then Y (θ`) = 0, and hence, Theo- rem C.1 is proved for n = nA + 1. � D Proof of preparatory lemmas D.1 Proof of Lemma C.2 Let F = ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θj , θ̄B1) K (γ) N,nB−1(ū|θ̄B2). Consider an auxiliary contour integral I = 1 2πic ∮ |z|=R→∞ f(θ̄B, z) h(θj , z) K (γ) N+1,nB ({ū, z − c}|θ̄B). Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 25 On the one hand, this integral is equal to the residue at infinity: I = −K(γ) N,N−1(ū|θ̄B). (D.1) On the other hand, this integral is equal to the sum of residues within the contour. The sum in the points z = θk ∈ θ̄B gives γF (due to (A.3)). One more pole occurs at z = θj +c. Using (A.6) we find I = γF − f(ū, θj)K (γ) N,nB−1(ū|{θ̄B \ θj}). (D.2) Comparing (D.2) and (D.1) we arrive at the statement of the lemma. D.2 Proof of Lemma C.3 Let θ̄B1 = θl in (C.2). Consider K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θl}) as a function of θl. Using the first equa- tion (A.4) we have K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θl}) = ∑ {θ̄I,θ̄II}`{θ̄A,θl} ( −1 η )#θ̄II f(ū, θ̄I)f(θ̄I, θ̄II). Clearly, either θl ∈ θ̄I or θl ∈ θ̄II. In the first case we set θ̄I = {θl, θ̄A1} and θ̄II = θ̄A2 . In the second case we set θ̄I = θ̄A1 and θ̄II = {θl, θ̄A2}. Thus, we obtain K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θl}) f(ū, θl) = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) × ( f(θl, θ̄A2)− 1 η f(θ̄A1 , θl) f(ū, θl) ) . Substituting this to the l.h.s. of (C.2) we have η ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1) h(θs, θ̄B1) K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θ̄B1}) f(ū, θ̄B1) = Λ1 + Λ2, where Λ1 = η ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) × ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1)f(θ̄B1 , θ̄A2) h(θs, θ̄B1) , (D.3) and Λ2 = − ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) × ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄B1) h(θs, θ̄B1)f(ū, θ̄B1) . (D.4) 26 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov D.2.1 First contribution Consider the sum Λ1 (D.3). Let G = ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1)f(θ̄B1 , θ̄A2) h(θs, θ̄B1) . Consider an auxiliary contour integral J = 1 2πic ∮ |z|=R→∞ f(θ̄B, z) h(θs, z) f(z, θ̄A2). Taking the residue at infinity we obtain J = −1. On the other hand, this integral is equal to the sum of residues within the contour. The sum in the points z = θk ∈ θ̄B gives −G. One more series of poles occurs at z = θk ∈ θ̄A2 . Thus, we find G = 1 + ∑ {θ̄A3 ,θ̄A′2 }`θ̄A2 #θ̄A3 =1 f(θ̄B, θ̄A3) h(θs, θ̄A3) f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A′2). (D.5) Substituting this into (D.3) we arrive at Λ1 = ηK (1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A)− Λ̃1, (D.6) where Λ̃1 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A #θ̄A3 =1 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1) h(θs, θ̄A3) f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A3) × f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄B, θ̄A3). (D.7) Here, when substituting (D.5) into (D.3) we first set θ̄A2 = {θ̄A3 , θ̄A′2} and then relabeled θ̄A′2 → θ̄A2 . D.2.2 Second contribution In order to compute the contribution Λ2 we should transform the sum over partitions of θ̄B in (D.4). Let {θ̄B, θ̄A1} = θ̄C . Then ∑ {θ̄B1 ,θ̄B2 }`θ̄B #θ̄B1 =1 f(θ̄B2 , θ̄B1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄B1) h(θs, θ̄B1)f(ū, θ̄B1) = ∑ {θ̄C1 ,θ̄C2 }`θ̄C #θ̄C1 =1 f(θ̄C2 , θ̄C1) h(θs, θ̄C1)f(ū, θ̄C1) − ∑ {θ̄A′1 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A1 #θ̄A3 =1 f(θ̄B, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A′1 , θ̄A3) h(θs, θ̄A3)f(ū, θ̄A3) . (D.8) In other words, instead of taking the sum over the subset θ̄B, we take the sum over the subset θ̄C = {θ̄B, θ̄A1} and then subtract the sum over the subset θ̄A1 . In this case we can compute the sum over the subset θ̄C = {θ̄B, θ̄A1} via Bethe equations (4.7). Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 27 However, we first consider contribution coming from the second term in the r.h.s. of (D.8). We have Λ (2) 2 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) ∑ {θ̄A′1 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A1 #θ̄A3 =1 f(θ̄B, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A′1 , θ̄A3) h(θs, θ̄A3)f(ū, θ̄A3) . Substituting here θ̄A1 = {θ̄A′1 , θ̄A3} and relabeling θ̄A′1 → θ̄A1 we find Λ (2) 2 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A #θ̄A3 =1 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1) h(θs, θ̄A3) f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A2) × f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A3)f(θ̄B, θ̄A3). (D.9) We see that this sum is equal to the term Λ̃1 (D.7). Thus, common contribution of these terms vanishes. Consider now contribution coming from the first term in the r.h.s. of (D.8). We have Λ (1) 2 = − ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) × ∑ {θ̄C1 ,θ̄C2 }`θ̄C #θ̄C1 =1 f(θ̄C2 , θ̄C1) h(θs, θ̄C1)f(ū, θ̄C1) . (D.10) Using Bethe equations (4.7) we find ∑ {θ̄C1 ,θ̄C2 }`θ̄C #θ̄C1 =1 f(θ̄C2 , θ̄C1) h(θs, θ̄C1)f(ū, θ̄C1) = κ̃+ κ κ− ρ2 − 1 α f(ū, θs)f(θs, θ̄A2) + 1 α ∑ {θ̄A3 ,θ̄A′2 }`θ̄A2 #θ̄A3 =1 g(θs, θ̄A3)f(ū, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A′2). Substituting this into (D.10) we arrive at Λ (1) 2 = − κ̃+ κ κ− ρ2 K (1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) + 1 α (M1 −M2), (D.11) where M1 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`{θ̄A,θs} θs∈θ̄A1 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2), and M2 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) 28 S. Belliard and N.A. Slavnov × ∑ {θ̄A3 ,θ̄A′2 }`θ̄A2 #θ̄A3 =1 g(θs, θ̄A3)f(ū, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A′2). (D.12) Presenting M1 as M1 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`{θ̄A,θs} ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2) − ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`{θ̄A,θs} θs∈θ̄A2 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2), we obtain M1 = K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs})− ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`{θ̄A,θs} θs∈θ̄A2 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2). Setting here θ̄A2 = {θ̄A′2 , θs} and relabeling θ̄A′2 → θ̄A2 we arrive at M1 = K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs})− ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2 +1 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄A1 , θs). Consider now contribution M2. Setting θ̄A2 = {θ̄A′2 , θ̄A3} in (D.12) and relabeling θ̄A′2 → θ̄A2 we arrive at M2 = ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A #θ̄A3 =1 ( −1 η )#θ̄A2+1 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A3)g(θs, θ̄A3) × f(ū, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A3 , θ̄A2). (D.13) Let {θ̄A1 , θ̄A3} = θ̄A0 . Then (D.13) takes the form M2 = ∑ {θ̄A0 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2+1 f(ū, θ̄A0)f(θ̄A0 , θ̄A2) × ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A0 #θ̄A3 =1 g(θs, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A3). (D.14) The sum over partitions {θ̄A1 , θ̄A3} ` θ̄A0 can be easily computed by the contour integral∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A3 }`θ̄A0 #θ̄A3 =1 g(θs, θ̄A3)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A3) = 1− f(θ̄A0 , θs). Substituting this into (D.14) we obtain M2 = ∑ {θ̄A0 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2+1 f(ū, θ̄A0)f(θ̄A0 , θ̄A2) ( 1− f(θ̄A0 , θs) ) Scalar products in twisted XXX spin chain. Determinant Representation 29 = −1 η K (1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A)− ∑ {θ̄A1 ,θ̄A2 }`θ̄A ( −1 η )#θ̄A2+1 f(ū, θ̄A1)f(θ̄A1 , θ̄A2)f(θ̄A1 , θs). Thus, M1 −M2 = K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs}) + 1 η K (1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A), and due to (D.11) we arrive at Λ (1) 2 = ( 1 ηα − κ̃+ κ κ− ρ2 ) K (1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) + 1 α K (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs}), Finally, taking into account (D.6), (D.7), and (D.9) we obtain after simple algebra Λ1 + Λ2 = β βµ+ µ− 1 ( ηK (1/η) N,nA+1(ū|{θ̄A, θs})− ξK(1/η) N,nA (ū|θ̄A) ) . Thus, Lemma C.3 is proved. Acknowledgements The work was performed at the Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.

We consider the XXX spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with non-diagonal boundary conditions. We obtain a compact determinant representation for the scalar product of on-shell and off-shell Bethe vectors. In the particular case when both Bethe vectors are on shell, we obtain a determinant representation for the norm of the on-shell Bethe vector and prove orthogonality of the on-shell vectors corresponding to the different eigenvalues of the transfer matrix.
