The quasi-Gaudin algebra was introduced to construct integrable systems which are only quasi-exactly solvable. Using a suitable representation of the quasi-Gaudin algebra, we obtain a class of bosonic models which exhibit this curious property. These models have the notable feature that they do not preserve U(1) symmetry, which is typically associated to a non-conservation of particle number. An exact solution for the eigenvalues within the quasi-exactly solvable sector is obtained via the algebraic Bethe ansatz formalism.

In this body of work, we will examine two classes of Lie algebra deformations and their appli- cation to the exact solutions of various quantum integrable systems. The first class of Lie algebra deformations are polynomial deformations of the A1 Lie algebra. We construct unitary representations of these algebras in terms of bosonic and spin operators as well as obtain their single-variable differential operator realizations. Using these results, we obtain the exact Bethe ansatz solutions of a variety of quantum integrable systems such as the Bose-Hubbard and Tavis-Cummings model. The second class of Lie algebra deformations are the so-called quasi-Gaudin algebra. This algebra was introduced to construct integrable systems which are only quasi-exactly solvable. Using a suitable representation this algebra, we obtain partial solutions for a class of bosonic models which do not preserve U(1) symmetry
We introduce a new concept of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras. The quantum quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras being simple but non-trivial deformations of ordinary algebras of monodromy matrices realize a new type of quantum dynamical symmetries and find an unexpected and remarkable applications in quantum inverse scattering method (QISM). We show that applying to quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras the standard procedure of QISM one obtains new wide classes of quantum models which, being integrable (i.e. having enough number of commuting integrals of motion) are only quasi-exactly solvable (i.e. admit an algebraic Bethe ansatz solution for arbitrarily large but limited parts of the spectrum). These quasi-exactly solvable models naturally arise as deformations of known exactly solvable ones. A general theory of such deformations is proposed. The correspondence ``Yangian --- quasi-Yangian'' and ``XXX spin models --- quasi-XXX spin models'' is discussed in detail. We also construct the classical conterparts of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras and show that they naturally lead to new classes of classical integrable models. We conjecture that these models are quasi-exactly solvable in the sense of classical inverse scattering method, i.e. admit only partial construction of action-angle variables.
We give a systematic construction of new quasi-exactly solvable systems via Bethe ansatz and supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM). Methods based on the intertwining of supercharges have been extensively used in the literature for exactly solvable systems. We generalize the state-deleting (Krein-Adler) supersymmetric transformations to quasi-exactly exactly solvable (QES) systems building on the Bethe ansatz method and related Bethe roots. This enables us to construct superpartners for a wide class of known QES systems classified previously through a hidden sl(2) algebra. We present our constructions of factorizations and intertwining relations related to 1st-order SUSYQM and the n=1 state for 10 nonequivalent types, denoted I,...,X. In order to have a unified treatment we rely on their ODE standard form as this is also the appropriate setting to obtain the Bethe ansatz equations which constrain the polynomial solutions. This setting also allows one to deal with systems with n states in a unified manner, using analysis based on the Bethe ansatz equations to build the supersymmetric transformations in terms of the Bethe ansatz roots. We derive the Schrödinger potentials for the n=1 superpartners of the 10 QES cases and give closed-form solutions for the spectra and wavefunctions of the corresponding QES SUSYQM systems. Furthermore, we present numerical results for higher excited states up to the n=10 level. The results obtained may have wider applicability as our framework is built on ODEs with polynomial coefficients.
Exactly solvable quantum systems represent a fascinating and critically important class of models in theoretical physics, offering exact solutions to non-trivial problems that often shed light on the behavior of more complex, intractable systems. The remarkable feature of these systems lies not only in their solvability but also in the underlying mathematical structures that facilitate such solutions. This paper explores the concept of a universal algebraic structure that underpins exactly solvable quantum systems. We delve into how diverse models, ranging from one-dimensional spin chains to many-body systems and field theories, exhibit common algebraic symmetries, such as Lie algebras, affine Lie algebras, and quantum groups. These algebraic frameworks provide a unified language for understanding integrability, the existence of an infinite number of conserved quantities, and the ability to construct exact eigenstates. We review the historical development of these ideas, from the Bethe ansatz to the development of the inverse scattering method and quantum groups. Our discussion highlights how these mathematical structures are not merely tools for calculation but fundamental descriptors of the physical reality of these systems, offering profound insights into non-perturbative quantum phenomena. The identification of a universal algebraic architecture suggests a deeper coherence in the landscape of quantum mechanics, paving the way for new discoveries and classifications of quantum models.
Recently, researchers have proposed the Asymmetric Bethe ansatz method - a theoretical tool that extends the scope of Bethe ansatz-solvable models by "breaking" partial mirror symmetry via the introduction of a fully reflecting boundary. Within this framework, the integrability conditions which were originally put forward by Gaudin have been further generalized. In this work, building on Gaudin's generalized kaleidoscope model, we present a detailed investigation of the relationship between DN symmetry and its integrability. We demonstrate that the mathematical essence of integrability in this class of models is characterized by a newly proposed Kaleidoscope Yang-Baxter Equation. Furthermore, we show that the solvability of a model via the coordinate Bethe ansatz depends not only on the consistency relations satisfied by scattering matrices, but also on the model's boundary conditions and the symmetry of the subspace where solutions are sought. Through finite element method based numerical studies, we further confirm that Bethe ansatz integrability arises in a specific symmetry sector. Finally, by analyzing the algebraic structure of the Kaleidoscope Yang-Baxter Equation, we derive a series of novel quantum algebraic identities within the framework of quantum torus algebra.
Abstract In this work we construct the eigenstates of the most general spin-1/2 Richardson–Gaudin model integrable in an external magnetic field. This includes the possibility for fully anisotropic XYZ coupling such that the S i x S j x , S i y S j y and S i z S j z terms all have distinct coupling strengths. While insuring that integrability is maintained in the presence of an external field excludes the elliptic XYZ model which is only integrable at zero field, this work still covers a wide class of fully anisotropic (XYZ) models associated with non skew-symmetric r -matrices. The eigenstates, as constructed here, do not require any usable Bethe ansatz and therefore: no proper pseudo-vacuum, Bethe roots, or generalised spin raising (Gaudin) operators have to be defined. Indeed, the eigenstates are generically built only through the conserved charges which define the model of interest and the specification of the set of eigenvalues defining the particular eigenstate. Since these eigenvalues are, in general, solutions to a simple set of quadratic equations, the proposed approach is simpler to implement than any Bethe ansatz and, moreover, it remains completely identical independently of the symmetries of the model. Indeed, the construction removes any distinction between XYZ models and XXZ/XXX models and, generically, that between models with or without U (1) symmetry so that any difficulties associated with the use of a Bethe ansatz in any of these cases are avoided.
