We suggest the notion of perfect integrability for quantum spin chains and conjecture that quantum spin chains are perfectly integrable. We show the perfect integrability for Gaudin models associated to simple Lie algebras of all finite types, with periodic and regular quasi-periodic boundary conditions.
We construct an open quantum spin chain from the “twisted” [Formula: see text]R matrix in the fundamental representation which has the quantum algebra symmetry Uq[ su (2)]. This anisotropic spin-1 chain is different from the Uq[ su (2)]-invariant chain constructed from the “untwisted” [Formula: see text] spin-1 R matrix (namely, the spin-1 XXZ chain of Fateev-Zamolodchikov with boundary terms) but, nevertheless, is also completely integrable. We discuss the general case of an R matrix of the type g(k), where k∈{1, 2, 3}, and g is any simple Lie algebra.
We establish a remarkable relationship between the quantum Gaudin models with boundary and the classical many-body integrable systems of Calogero-Moser type associated with the root systems of classical Lie algebras (B, C and D). We show that under identification of spectra of the Gaudin Hamiltonians HjG with particles velocities q˙j of the classical model all integrals of motion of the latter take zero values. This is the generalization of the quantum-classical duality observed earlier for Gaudin models with periodic boundary conditions and Calogero-Moser models associated with the root system of the type A.
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
