Abstract
Motivated by recent investigations of transport properties of strongly correlated 1D models and thermal conductivity measurements of quasi 1D magnetic systems, we present results for the integrable spin-½ XXZ chain. The thermal conductivity κ(ω) of this model has ℜ κ(ω) = δ(ω), i.e. it is infinite for zero frequency ω. The weight of the delta peak is calculated exactly by a lattice path integral formulation. Numerical results for wide ranges of temperature and anisotropy are presented. The low- and high-temperature limits are studied analytically.
