Abstract

We obtain Gauss-Givental integral representation for the eigenfunctions of quantum Toda chain with boundary interaction of BC type. For this we introduce reflection operator satisfying reflection equation with DST chain Lax matrices. Besides, we define Baxter operators for BC Toda chain, prove their commutativity with Hamiltonians and derive the corresponding Baxter equation.

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.

Dynamical boundary conditions for integrable lattices.

A. V. Tsiganov

Some special solutions to the reflection equation are considered. These boundary matrices are defined on the common quantum space with the other operators in the chain. The relations with the Drinfeld twist are discussed.

Baxter Operator and Baxter Equation for q-Toda and Toda2 Chains

O. Babelon, Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, Vincent Pasquier

We construct the Baxter operator [Formula: see text] for the [Formula: see text]-Toda chain and the Toda2 chain (the Toda chain in the second Hamiltonian structure). Our construction builds on the relation between the Baxter operator and Bäcklund transformations that were unravelled in [13]. We construct a number of quantum intertwiners ensuring the commutativity of [Formula: see text] with the transfer matrix of the models and of the [Formula: see text]’s between each other. Most importantly, [Formula: see text] is modular invariant in the sense of Faddeev. We derive the Baxter equation for the eigenvalues [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and show that these are entire functions of [Formula: see text]. This last property will ultimately lead to the quantization of the spectrum for the considered Toda chains, in a subsequent publication [1]. This work is dedicated to the memory of L. D. Faddeev

New boundary conditions for integrable lattices

V B Kuznetsov, M F Jorgensen, P L Christiansen

New boundary conditions for classical integrable nonlinear lattices of the XXX type, such as the Heisenberg chain and the Toda lattice, are presented. These integrable extensions are formulated in terms of a generic XXX Heisenberg magnet interacting with two additional spins at each end of the chain. The construction uses the most general rank-1 ansatz for the 2*2 L-operator satisfying the reflection equation algebra with rational r-matrix. The associated quadratic algebra is shown to be that of dynamical symmetry for the A 1 and BC 2 Calogero-Moser problems. Other physical realizations of our quadratic algebra are also considered.

On boundary fusion and functional relations in the Baxterized affine Hecke algebra

A. Babichenko, Vidas Regelskis

We construct boundary type operators satisfying fused reflection equation for arbitrary representations of the Baxterized affine Hecke algebra. These operators are analogues of the fused reflection matrices in solvable half-line spin chain models. We show that these operators lead to a family of commuting transfer matrices of Sklyanin type. We derive fusion type functional relations for these operators for two families of representations.
