The spin Drude weight of the XXZ chain and generalized hydrodynamics

Based on a generalized free energy we derive exact thermodynamic Bethe ansatz formulas for the expectation value of the spin current, the spin current-charge, charge-charge correlators, and consequently the Drude weight. These formulas agree with recent conjectures within the generalized hydrodynamics formalism. They follow, however, directly from a proper treatment of the operator expression of the spin current. The result for the Drude weight is identical to the one obtained 20 years ago based on the Kohn formula and TBA. We numerically evaluate the Drude weight for anisotropies \Delta=\cos(\gamma) <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>Δ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mo>cos</mml:mo> <mml:mo stretchy="false" form="prefix">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false" form="postfix">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> with \gamma = \pi n/m <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>γ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mi>/</mml:mi> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , n\leq m <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≤</mml:mo> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> integer and coprime.
