Abstract

Canonical transformations analogous to the Backlund transformation are discussed. Explicit formulae are given for many-body systems of particles interacting in one dimension.

The Quantum Auxiliary Linear Problem & Darboux-Backlund Transformations

Anastasia Doikou, Iain Findlay

We explore the notion of the quantum auxiliary linear problem and the associated problem of quantum Backlund transformations (BT). In this context we systematically construct the analogue of the classical formula that provides the whole hierarchy of the time components of Lax pairs at the quantum level for both closed and open integrable lattice models. The generic time evolution operator formula is particularly interesting and novel at the quantum level when dealing with systems with open boundary conditions. In the same frame we show that the reflection $K$-matrix can also be viewed as a particular type of BT, fixed at the boundaries of the system. The $q$-oscillator ($q$-boson) model, a variant of the Ablowitz-Ladik model, is then employed as a paradigm to illustrate the method. Particular emphasis is given to the time part of the quantum BT as possible connections and applications to the problem of quantum quenches as well as the time evolution of local quantum impurities are evident. A discussion on the use of Bethe states as well as coherent states and the path integral formulation for the study of the time evolution is also presented.

CANONICAL BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATION — A NEW DISCRETE INTEGRABLE SYSTEM AND BETHE ANSATZ

Supriya Mukherjee, Asesh Roy Chowdhury, A. Ghose Choudhury

A new discrete Lax operator involving discrete canonical variable is introduced which generate new integrable system, and is analyzed in the light of the new concept of canonical Bäcklund transformation and classical r-matrix. The generating function of the transformation is explicitly deduced. The second half of the paper deals with the quantization problem where an explicit form of the Bethe equations are deduced.

A q-difference Baxter operator for the Ablowitz–Ladik chain

Federico Zullo

We construct the Baxter operator and the corresponding Baxter equation for a quantum version of the Ablowitz–Ladik model. The result is achieved in two different ways: by using the well-known Bethe ansatz technique and by looking at the quantum analogue of the classical Bäcklund transformations. General results about integrable models governed by the same r -matrix algebra will be given. Baxter's equation comes out to be a q-difference equation involving both the trace and the quantum determinant of the monodromy matrix. The spectrality property of the classical Bäcklund transformations gives a trace formula representing the classical analogue of Baxter's equation. A q-integral representation of the Baxter operator is discussed.
