TL;DR: In this paper, the transfer matrix of the general integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain obeys certain functional relations at roots of unity, and the Bethe ansatz solution is derived for transfer matrix eigenvalues.
Abstract: The transfer matrix of the general integrable open XXZ quantum spin chain obeys certain functional relations at roots of unity. By exploiting these functional relations, we determine the Bethe ansatz solution for the transfer matrix eigenvalues for the special cases where all but one of the boundary parameters are zero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter is iπ/3, iπ/5, ....

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the Baxter T-Q relation which involves more than one independent Q(u) was proposed, and it was shown that the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the open XXZ quantum spin chain are given by such generalized T -Q relations, for the case that at most two of the boundary parameters {α−, α+, β−, β−, β+, β+} are nonzero.
Abstract: We propose a generalization of the Baxter T–Q relation which involves more than one independent Q(u). We argue that the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the open XXZ quantum spin chain are given by such generalized T–Q relations, for the case that at most two of the boundary parameters {α−, α+, β−, β+} are nonzero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η = iπ/2, iπ/4, ....

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the results of Murgan and Nepomechie (2005 J. Stat. P05007) to the cases where any two of the boundary parameters {α−,α+, β−,β+} are arbitrary, the remaining boundary parameters from this set are either η or iπ/2, and θ− = θ+.
