Michel Gaudin's book La fonction d'onde de Bethe is a uniquely influential masterpiece on exactly solvable models of quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Available in English for the first time, this translation brings his classic work to a new generation of graduate students and researchers in physics. It presents a mixture of mathematics interspersed with powerful physical intuition, retaining the author's unmistakably honest tone. The book begins with the Heisenberg spin chain, starting from the coordinate Bethe Ansatz and culminating in a discussion of its thermodynamic properties. Delta-interacting bosons (the Lieb-Liniger model) are then explored, and extended to exactly solvable models associated to a reflection group. After discussing the continuum limit of spin chains, the book covers six- and eight-vertex models in extensive detail, from their lattice definition to their thermodynamics. Later chapters examine advanced topics such as multi-component delta-interacting systems, Gaudin magnets and the Toda chain.

Caux, Jean-Sébastien: - Jean-Sébastien Caux is a professor of the theory of low-dimensional quantum condensed matter at the University of Amsterdam. He has made significant contributions to the calculation of experimentally observable dynamical properties of these systems.

Gaudin, Michel: - Michel Gaudin is recognised as one of the foremost experts in this field, and has worked at Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA) and the Service de Physique Théorique, Saclay. His numerous scientific contributions to the theory of exactly solvable models are well-known, including his famous formula for the norm of Bethe wavefunctions.
