Abstract

We complete the classification of 4×4 regular solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Apart from previously known models, we find four new models of non-difference form. All the new models give rise to Hamiltonians and transfer matrices that have a non-trivial Jordan block structure. One model corresponds to a non-diagonalisable integrable deformation of the XXX spin chain.

Classifying Nearest-Neighbor Interactions and Deformations of AdS

Marius de Leeuw, Chiara Paletta, Anton Pribytok +2 more

We classify all regular solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation of eight-vertex type. Regular solutions correspond to spin chains with nearest-neighbor interactions. We find a total of four independent solutions. Two are related to the usual six- and eight-vertex models that have R matrices of difference form. We find two new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, which are manifestly of nondifference form. These new solutions contain the S-matrices of the AdS_{2} and AdS_{3} integrable models as a special case. This can be used as a starting point to study and classify integrable deformations of these holographic integrable systems.

Yang-Baxter and the Boost: splitting the difference

Marius de Leeuw, Chiara Paletta, Anton Pribytok +2 more

In this paper we continue our classification of regular solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation using the method based on the spin chain boost operator developed in [1]. We provide details on how to find all non-difference form solutions and apply our method to spin chains with local Hilbert space of dimensions two, three and four. We classify all 16\times16 16 × 16 solutions which exhibit \mathfrak{su}(2)\oplus \mathfrak{su}(2) 𝔰 𝔲 ( 2 ) ⊕ 𝔰 𝔲 ( 2 ) symmetry, which include the one-dimensional Hubbard model and the S S -matrix of the {AdS}_5 \times {S}^5 A d S 5 × S 5 superstring sigma model. In all cases we find interesting novel solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation.

Unusual solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation

Ladislav Hlavatý

The complete list of non-symmetric eight-vertex constant solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation is obtained and new solutions dependent on more than one variable are presented. The corresponding spin Hamiltonians are derived by Sutherland's method (1970).

Classifying integrable spin-1/2 chains with nearest neighbour interactions

Marius de Leeuw, Anton Pribytok, Paul Ryan

Abstract We classify all fundamental integrable spin chains with two-dimensional (2D) local Hilbert space which have regular R -matrices of difference form. This means that the R -matrix underlying the integrable structures is of the form and reduces to the permutation operator at some particular point. We find a total of 14 independent solutions, eight of which correspond to well-known eight or lower vertex models. The remaining six models appear to be new and some have peculiar properties such as not being diagonalizable or being nilpotent. Furthermore, for even R -matrices, we find a bijection between solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation (YBE) and the graded YBE which extends our results to the graded 2D case.

New integrable 1D models of superconductivity

Marius de Leeuw, Anton Pribytok, Ana L. Retore +1 more

Abstract In this paper we find new integrable one-dimensional lattice models of electrons. We describe all such nearest-neighbour integrable models with s u ( 2 ) × s u ( 2 ) symmetry by classifying solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation following the procedure first introduced in [1]. We find 12 R-matrices of difference form, some of which can be related to known models such as the XXX spin chain and the free Hubbard model, and some are new models. In addition, integrable generalizations of the Hubbard model are found by keeping the kinetic term of the Hamiltonian and adding all terms which preserve fermion number. We find that most of the new models cannot be diagonalized using the standard nested Bethe Ansatz.

Solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation for isotropic quantum spin chains

T Kennedy

The author considers solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation such that the logarithmic derivative of the transfer matrix yields a quantum spin Hamiltonian which is isotropic in spin space, i.e. SU(2)-invariant. Four such solutions are known for each value of the spin S. (For S=1/2 they degenerate into the same solution, and for S=1 they only give three different solutions). For S<or=6 he shows that these are the only solutions which are SU(2)-invariant, except for S=3 when there is a fifth solution.
