Asymmetric Twin Representation: the Transfer Matrix Symmetry

Abstract

The symmetry of the Hamiltonian describing the asymmetric twin model was partially studied in earlier works, and our aim here is to generalize these results for the open transfer matrix.In this spirit we first prove, that the so called boundary quantum algebra provides a symmetry for any generic -independent of the choice of model -open transfer matrix with a trivial left boundary.In addition it is shown that the boundary quantum algebra is the centralizer of the B type Hecke algebra.We then focus on the asymmetric twin representation of the boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra.More precisely, by exploiting exchange relations dictated by the reflection equation we show that the transfer matrix with trivial boundary conditions enjoys the recognized U q (sl 2 ) ⊗ U i (sl 2 ) symmetry.When a nondiagonal boundary is implemented the symmetry as expected is reduced, however again certain familiar boundary non-local charges turn out to commute with the corresponding transfer matrix.

On quantum group symmetry and Bethe ansatz for the asymmetric twin spin chain with integrable boundary

Anastasia Doikou, Paul Martin

Motivated by a study of the crossing symmetry of the asymmetric twin or ‘gemini’ representation of the affine Hecke algebra we give a construction for crossing tensor space representations of ordinary Hecke algebras. These representations build solutions to the Yang–Baxter equation satisfying the crossing condition (that is, integrable quantum spin chains). We show that every crossing representation of the Temperley–Lieb algebra appears in this construction, and in particular that this construction builds new representations. We extend these to new representations of the blob algebra, which build new solutions to the boundary Yang–Baxter equation (i.e. open spin chains with integrable boundary conditions). We prove that the open spin chain Hamiltonian derived from Sklyanin’s commuting transfer matrix using such a solution can always be expressed as the representation of an element of the blob algebra, and determine this element. We determine the representation theory (irreducible content) of the new representations and hence show that all such Hamiltonians have the same spectrum up to multiplicity, for any given value of the algebraic boundary parameter. (A corollary is that our models have the same spectrum as the open XXZ chain with nondiagonal boundary—despite differing from this model in having reference states.) Using these multiplicity data, and other ideas, we investigate the underlying quantum group symmetry of the new Hamiltonians. We derive the form of the spectrum and the Bethe ansatz equations.

Boundary non-local charges from the open spin chain

Anastasia Doikou

The N site open XXZ quantum spin chain with a right non-diagonal boundary and special diagonal left boundary is considered. The boundary non-local charges originally obtained from a field theoretical viewpoint, for the sine Gordon model on the half line, are recovered from the spin chain point of view. Furthermore, the symmetry of the open spin chain is exhibited. More specifically, we show that certain non–local charges commute with the transfer matrix of the open spin chain, depending on the choice of boundary conditions. In addition, we show explicitly that for a special choice of the left boundary, one of the non–local charges, in a particular representation, commutes with each one of the generators of the blob algebra, and hence with the corresponding local Hamiltonian. LAPTH-1029/04 Quantum groups have attracted much interest recently because of their intrinsic mathematical interest [1]–[3], but also because they provide a powerful scheme for deriving solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation [4]–[6] R12(λ1 − λ2) R13(λ1) R23(λ2) = R23(λ2) R13(λ1) R12(λ1 − λ2).

Affine Hecke algebras, reflection equation and boundary symmetries

Anastasia Doikou

Solutions of the reflection equation for the Uq ( sln) case are obtained by implementing certain realisations of the affine Hecke algebra. The boundary non–local charges associated to nondiagonal solutions of the reflection equation are constructed systematically, and the symmetry of the corresponding open spin chain is investigated. We prove that the symmetry of the open spin chain is essentially a remnant of the Uq(gln) algebra.

On reflection algebras and twisted Yangians

Anastasia Doikou

It is known that integrable models associated to rational R matrices give rise to certain non-abelian symmetries known as Yangians. Analogously ‘boundary ’ symmetries arise when general but still integrable boundary conditions are implemented, as originally argued by Delius, Mackay and Short from the field theory point of view, in the context of the principal chiral model on the half line. In the present study we deal with a discrete quantum mechanical system with boundaries, that is the N site gl(n) open quantum spin chain. In particular, the open spin chain with two distinct types of boundary condition known as soliton preserving and soliton non-preserving is considered. For both types of boundaries we present a unified framework for deriving the corresponding boundary non-local charges directly at the quantum level. The non-local charges are simply coproduct realizations of particular boundary quantum algebras called ‘boundary ’ or twisted Yangians, depending on the choice of boundary conditions. Finally, with the help of linear intertwining relations between the solutions of the reflection equation and the generators of the boundary or twisted Yangians we are able to exhibit the symmetry of the open spin chain, namely we show that a number of the boundary non-local charges are in fact conserved quantities.
