The spectrum of particles interacting through centrally extended su(2|2) S-matrices
Marcio Jose Martins, C.S. Melo
Abstract
We consider the spectrum of particles interacting by means of factorized $S$-matrices based on the central extention of the $\\bf{su}(2|2)$ symmetry. The underlying $\\bf{su}(2|2)$ $R$-matrix is explicitly related to that of the covering Hubbard model through a spectral parameter dependent transformation. This mapping allows us to diagonalize the respective transfer matrix by the algebraic Bethe ansatz. As a consequence of that we derive the quantization condition on the circle for the momenta of particles scattering by the $\\bf{su}(2|2) \\otimes \\bf{su}(2|2)$ S-matrix. This result may be of relevance to construct the energy spectrum of the $AdS_5 \\times S^{5}$ string sigma model in the thermodynamic limit.
