Abstract
In this work, we present a proof of the existence of real and ordered solutions to the generalized Bethe Ansatz equations for the one dimensional Hubbard model on a finite lattice, with periodic boundary conditions. The existence of a continuous set of solutions extending from any U>0 to U=∞ is also shown. We use this continuity property, combined with the proof that the norm of the wavefunction obtained with the generalized Bethe Ansatz is not zero, to prove that the solution gives us the ground state of the finite system, as assumed by Lieb and Wu. Lastly, for the absolute ground state at half-filling, we show that the solution converges to a distribution in the thermodynamic limit. This limit distribution satisfies the integral equations that led to the Lieb-Wu solution of the 1D Hubbard model.
