Universal Baxter TQ-relations for open boundary quantum integrable systems

Abstract

Based on properties of the universal R-matrix, we derive universal Baxter TQ-relations for quantum integrable systems with (diagonal) open boundaries associated with Uq(sl2ˆ). The Baxter TQ-relations for the open XXZ-spin chain are images of these universal Baxter TQ-relations.

A Q-operator for open spin chains I. Baxter’s TQ relation

Bart Vlaar, Robert Weston

We construct a Q -operator for the open XXZ Heisenberg quantum spin chain with diagonal boundary conditions and give a rigorous derivation of Baxter’s TQ relation. Key roles in the theory are played by a particular infinite-dimensional solution of the reflection equation and by short exact sequences of intertwiners of the standard Borel subalgebras of U q ( s l ^ 2 ) . The resulting Bethe equations are the same as those arising from Sklyanin’s algebraic Bethe ansatz.

Q-operators for the open Heisenberg spin chain

Rouven Frassek, István M. Szécsényi

We construct Q-operators for the open spin-12 XXX Heisenberg spin chain with diagonal boundary matrices. The Q-operators are defined as traces over an infinite-dimensional auxiliary space involving novel types of reflection operators derived from the boundary Yang–Baxter equation. We argue that the Q-operators defined in this way are polynomials in the spectral parameter and show that they commute with transfer matrix. Finally, we prove that the Q-operators satisfy Baxter's TQ-equation and derive the explicit form of their eigenvalues in terms of the Bethe roots.

Baxter Q -operator and functional relations

А. А. Овчинников

We obtain the Baxter Q-operators in the Uq(slˆ2) invariant integrable models as a special limits of the quantum transfer matrices corresponding to different spins in the auxiliary space. We derive the Baxter equation from the well-known fusion relations for the transfer matrices. Our method is valid for an arbitrary integrable model corresponding to the quantum group Uq(slˆ2), for example for the XXZ-spin chain.

GeneralizedT–Qrelations and the open XXZ chain

Rajan Murgan, Rafael I. Nepomechie

We propose a generalization of the Baxter T – Q relation which involves more than one independent Q ( u ). We argue that the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the open XXZ quantum spin chain are given by such generalized T – Q relations, for the case that at most two of the boundary parameters {α − , α + , β − , β + } are nonzero, and the bulk anisotropy parameter has values η = iπ/2, iπ/4, ....

A Q-Operator for Open Spin Chains II: Boundary Factorization

Alec Cooper, Bart Vlaar, Robert Weston

Abstract One of the features of Baxter’s Q-operators for many closed spin chain models is that all transfer matrices arise as products of two Q-operators with shifts in the spectral parameter. In the representation-theoretical approach to Q-operators, underlying this is a factorization formula for L-operators (solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation associated to particular infinite-dimensional representations). To extend such a formalism to open spin chains, one needs a factorization identity for solutions of the reflection equation (boundary Yang–Baxter equation) associated to these representations. In the case of quantum affine $$\mathfrak {sl}_2$$ sl 2 and diagonal K-matrices, we derive such an identity using the recently formulated theory of universal K-matrices for quantum affine algebras.

Integrable XYZ spin chain with boundaries

T. Inami, Hitoshi Konno

We consider a general class of boundary terms of the open XYZ spin-1/2 chain compatible with integrability. We have obtained the general elliptic solution of a K-matrix obeying the boundary Yang-Baxter equation using the R-matrix of the eight-vertex model and derived the associated integrable spin-chain Hamiltonian.
