A non-symmetric Yang–Baxter algebra for the quantum nonlinear Schrödinger model
Bart Vlaar
Abstract
We study certain non-symmetric wavefunctions associated with the quantum nonlinear Schrödinger model, introduced by Komori and Hikami using Gutkin’s propagation operator, which involves representations of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra. We highlight how these functions can be generated using a vertex-type operator formalism similar to the recursion defining the symmetric (Bethe) wavefunction in the quantum inverse scattering method. Furthermore, some of the commutation relations encoded in the Yang–Baxter equation for the relevant monodromy matrix are generalized to the non-symmetric case.
