Abstract
We develop a new approach to Baxter Q-operators by relating them to the theory of Yangians, which are the simplest examples for quantum groups. Here we open up a new chapter in this theory and study certain degenerate solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation connected with harmonic oscillator algebras. These infinite-state solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation serve as elementary, “partonic” building blocks for other solutions via the standard fusion procedure. As a first example of the method we consider gl ( n ) compact spin chains and derive the full hierarchy of operatorial functional equations for all related commuting transfer matrices and Q-operators. This leads to a systematic and transparent solution of these chains, where the nested Bethe equations are derived in an entirely algebraic fashion, without any reference to the traditional Bethe Ansatz techniques.
