Form-factors of the finite quantum XY-chain

Explicit factorized formulas for the matrix elements (form-factors) of the spin operators σ^x and σ^y between the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian of the finite quantum periodic XY-chain in a transverse field were derived. The derivation is based on the relations between three models: the model of quantum XY-chain, Ising model on 2D lattice and N=2 Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov τ^{(2)}-model. Due to these relations we transfer the formulas for the form-factors of the latter model recently obtained by the use of separation of variables method to the model of quantum XY-chain. Hopefully, the formulas for the form-factors will help in analysis of multipoint dynamic correlation functions at a finite temperature. As an example, we re-derive the asymptotics of two-point correlation function in the disordered phase without the use of the Toeplitz determinants and the Wiener-Hopf factorization method.
