Matrix product solutions to the reflection equation from three dimensional integrability

Abstract

We formulate a quantized reflection equation in which q-boson valued L and K matrices satisfy the reflection equation up to conjugation by a solution to the Isaev–Kulish 3D reflection equation. By forming its n-concatenation along the q-boson Fock space followed by suitable reductions, we construct families of solutions to the reflection equation in a matrix product form connected to the 3D integrability. They involve the quantum R matrices of the antisymmetric tensor representations of and the spin representations of , and .
