Classification of solutions to the reflection equation for two-component systems

Cong-xin Liu, Ju Guo-Xing, Shikun Wang +1 more

The symmetries, especially those related to the R -transformation, of the reflection equation (RE) for two-component systems are analysed. The classification of solutions to the RE for eight-, six- and seven-vertex-type R -matrices is given. All solutions can be obtained from those corresponding to the standard R -matrices by K -transformation. For the free-fermion models, the boundary matrices have property tr K + (0) = 0, and the free-fermion-type R -matrix with the same symmetry as that of a Baxter type corresponds to the same form of a K - -matrix for the Baxter type. We present the Hamiltonians for the open spin systems connected with our solutions. In particular, the boundary Hamiltonian of seven-vertex models is obtained with a generalization to the Sklyanin formalism.

Transfer-matrix inverison identities for exactly solvable lattice-spin models

Paul A. Pearce

A new functional equation satisfied by the commuting row-to-row transfer matrices is derived for the eight-vertex model. Functional equations of the same form are satisfied by hard hexagons, magnetic hard squares, the self-dual Potts models, the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester models, and others. These new functional equations are called inversion identities because they generalize the inversion relation for local transfer matrices. It is conjectured that all solvable models satisfying Yang-Baxter equations possess such inversion identities and that, in general, these functional equations can be solved for the transfer-matrix eigenvalues.

Integrable boundary conditions for staggered vertex models

Holger Frahm, Sascha Gehrmann

Abstract Yang–Baxter integrable vertex models with a generic Z 2 -staggering can be expressed in terms of composite R -matrices given in terms of the elementary R-matrices. Similarly, integrable open boundary conditions can be constructed through generalized reflection algebras based on these objects and their representations in terms of composite boundary matrices K ± . We show that only two types of staggering yield a local Hamiltonian with integrable open boundary conditions in this approach. The staggering in the underlying model allows for a second hierarchy of commuting integrals of motion (in addition to the one including the Hamiltonian obtained from the usual transfer matrix), starting with the so-called quasi momentum operator. In this paper, we show that this quasi momentum operator can be obtained together with the Hamiltonian for both periodic and open models in a unified way from enlarged Yang–Baxter or reflection algebras in the composite picture. For the special case of the staggered six-vertex model, this allows constructing an integrable spectral flow between the two local cases.
