A quantum affine algebra for the deformed Hubbard chain
Niklas Beisert, W. Galléas, Takuya Matsumoto
Abstract
The integrable structure of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is based on Shastry's R -matrix and the Yangian of a centrally extended superalgebra. Alcaraz and Bariev have shown that the model admits an integrable deformation whose R -matrix has recently been found. This R -matrix is of trigonometric type and here we derive its underlying exceptional quantum affine algebra. We also show how the algebra reduces to the above-mentioned Yangian and to the conventional quantum affine algebra in two special limits.
