We study the nonequilibrium time evolution of the spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg (XXZ) spin chain, with a choice of dimer product and Neel states as initial states. We investigate numerically various short-ranged spin correlators in the long-time limit and find that they deviate significantly from predictions based on the generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE) hypotheses. By computing the asymptotic spin correlators within the recently proposed quench-action formalism [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 257203 (2013)], however, we find excellent agreement with the numerical data. We, therefore, conclude that the GGE cannot give a complete description even of local observables, while the quench-action formalism correctly captures the steady state in this case.

  1. Chiral Integrable Boundary States of ABJM Spin Chain from Reflection Equations

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A framework is proposed for 2n-site chiral integrable matrix product states in the ABJM spin chain from reflection equations, with exact overlap formulas for four-site states and numerical checks of subspaces.
