Spinor Representations of Orthogonal and Symplectic Yangians

We consider the explicit spinor $$R$$ matrices of low rank orthogonal algebras and the corresponding $$RTT$$ algebras using the new approach to calculation of spinorial $$R$$ matrix. We also discuss the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for spinor and vector monodromy matrices.

Nested Bethe Ansatz for RTT-Algebra of Uq(sp(4)) Type

We study the highest weight representations of the RTT algebras for the R matrix of sp_q(2n) type by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz. It is a generalization of our study for R matrix of sp(2n) and so(2n) type

3d mathcal{N} = 2 Chern-Simons-matter theory, Bethe ansatz, and quantum K -theory of Grassmannians

We study a correspondence between 3d mathcal{N} = 2 topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories on S1× Σg and quantum K -theory of Grassmannians. Our starting point is a Frobenius algebra depending on a parameter β associated with an algebraic Bethe ansatz introduced by Gorbounov-Korff. They showed that the Frobenius algebra with β = −1 is isomorphic to the (equivariant) small quantum K -ring of the Grassmannian, and the Frobenius algebra with β = 0 is isomorphic to the equivariant small quantum cohomology of the Grassmannian. We apply supersymmetric localization formulas to the correlation functions of supersymmetric Wilson loops in the Chern-Simons-matter theory and show that the algebra of Wilson loops is isomorphic to the Frobenius algebra with β = −1. This allows us to identify the algebra of Wilson loops with the quantum K - ring of the Grassmannian. We also show that correlation functions of Wilson loops on S1× Σg satisfy the axiom of 2d TQFT. For β = 0, we show the correspondence between an A-twisted GLSM, the Frobenius algebra for β = 0, and the quantum cohomology of the Grassmannian. We also discuss deformations of Verlinde algebras, omega-deformations, and the K -theoretic I -functions of Grassmannians with level structures.

Scalar products of Bethe vectors in the 8-vertex model

We obtain a determinant representation of normalized scalar products of on-shell and off-shell Bethe vectors in the inhomogeneous 8-vertex model. We consider the case of rational anisotropy parameter and use the generalized algebraic Bethe ansatz approach. Our method is to obtain a system of linear equations for the scalar products, prove its solvability and solve it in terms of determinants of explicitly known matrices.

A Q-operator for open spin chains I. Baxter’s TQ relation

We construct a Q-operator for the open XXZ Heisenberg quantum spin chain with diagonal boundary conditions and give a rigorous derivation of Baxter’s TQ relation. Key roles in the theory are played by a particular infinite-dimensional solution of the reflection equation and by short exact sequences of intertwiners of the standard Borel subalgebras of . The resulting Bethe equations are the same as those arising from Sklyanin’s algebraic Bethe ansatz.

Nested algebraic Bethe ansatz for deformed orthogonal and symplectic spin chains

We construct exact eigenvectors and eigenvalues for Uq(sp2n)- and Uq(so2n)-symmetric closed spin chains by means of a nested algebraic Bethe ansatz method. We use a fusion procedure to construct higher-dimensional Lax operators. Our approach generalises and extends the results obtained by Reshetikhin and De Vega–Karowski. We also present a generalisation of Tarasov–Varchenko trace formula for nested Bethe vectors.

Exact solution of the extended dimer Bose–Hubbard model with multi-body interactions

It is shown that the extended one-dimensional dimer Bose–Hubbard model with multi-body interactions can be solved exactly by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz mainly due to the site-permutation S2 symmetry. The solution for the model with up to three-particle hopping and three-body on-site interaction is explicitly shown. As an example of the application, lower part of the excitation energy levels and the ground-state entanglement measure of the standard Bose–Hubbard Hamiltonian with the attractive two-body on-site interaction plus the three-body on-site interaction for 100 bosons with variation of the control parameter are calculated by using the exact solution. It is shown that the attractive three-body on-site interaction reinforces the critical point entanglement of the system, which may be helpful for design of an optical lattice for ultracold atoms or a tuneable superconducting quantum interference device with maximal entanglement.

Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for the Trigonometric sℓ(2) Gaudin Model with Triangular Boundary

In this paper we deal with the trigonometric Gaudin model, generalized using a nontrivial triangular reflection matrix (corresponding to non-periodic boundary conditions in the case of anisotropic XXZ Heisenberg spin-chain). In order to obtain the generating function of the Gaudin Hamiltonians with boundary terms we follow an approach based on Sklyanin’s derivation in the periodic case. Once we have the generating function, we obtain the corresponding Gaudin Hamiltonians with boundary terms by taking its residues at the poles. As the main result, we find the generic form of the Bethe vectors such that the off-shell action of the generating function becomes exceedingly compact and simple. In this way—by obtaining Bethe equations and the spectrum of the generating function—we fully implement the algebraic Bethe ansatz for the generalized trigonometric Gaudin model.

Symmetric elliptic functions, IRF models, and dynamic exclusion processes

We introduce stochastic Interaction-Round-a-Face (IRF) models that are related to representations of the elliptic quantum group E_{\tau, \eta}(sl_2) . For stochastic IRF models in a quadrant, we evaluate averages for a broad family of observables that can be viewed as higher analogs of q -moments of the height function for the stochastic (higher spin) six vertex models. In a certain limit, the stochastic IRF models degenerate to (1+1)d interacting particle systems that we call dynamic ASEP and SSEP; their jump rates depend on local values of the height function. For the step initial condition, we evaluate averages of observables for them as well, and use those to investigate one-point asymptotics of the dynamic SSEP. The construction and proofs are based on remarkable properties (branching and Pieri rules, Cauchy identities) of a (seemingly new) family of symmetric elliptic functions that arise as matrix elements in an infinite volume limit of the algebraic Bethe ansatz for E_{\tau, \eta}(sl_2) .

Nested algebraic Bethe ansatz for orthogonal and symplectic open spin chains

We present a nested algebraic Bethe ansatz for one-dimensional so2n- and sp2n-symmetric open spin chains with diagonal boundary conditions. The monodromy matrix of these spin chains satisfies the defining relations on the extended twisted Yangians Xρ(so2n,so2nρ)tw and Xρ(sp2n,sp2nρ)tw, respectively. We use a generalisation of the De Vega and Karowski approach allowing us to relate the spectral problem of so2n- or sp2n-symmetric open spin chain to that of gln-symmetric open spin chain studied by Belliard and Ragoucy. We explicitly derive the structure of Bethe vectors, their eigenvalues and the nested Bethe equations. We also provide a proof of Belliard and Ragoucy's trace formula for Bethe vectors of gln-symmetric open spin chains.

Spinorial R operator and Algebraic Bethe Ansatz

We propose a new approach to the spinor-spinor R-matrix with orthogonal and symplectic symmetry. Based on this approach and the fusion method we relate the spinor-vector and vector-vector monodromy matrices for quantum spin chains. We consider the explicit spinor R matrices of low rank orthogonal algebras and the corresponding RTT algebras. Coincidences with fundamental R matrices allow to relate the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for spinor and vector monodromy matrices.

One-dimensional quantum spin dynamics of Bethe string states

Quantum dynamics of strongly correlated systems is a challenging problem. Although the low energy fractional excitations of one-dimensional integrable models are often well understood, exploring quantum dynamics in these systems remains challenging in the gapless regime, especially at intermediate and high energies. Based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz formalism, we study spin dynamics in a representative one-dimensional strongly correlated model, i.e., the antiferromagnetic spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ chain with the Ising anisotropy, via the form-factor formulas. Various excitations at different energy scales are identified crucial to the dynamic spin structure factors under the guidance of sum rules. At small magnetic polarizations, gapless excitations dominate the low energy spin dynamics arising from the magnetic-field-induced incommensurability. In contrast, spin dynamics at intermediate and high energies is characterized by the two- and three-string states, which are multiparticle excitations based on the commensurate N\'eel ordered background. Our work is helpful for experimental studies on spin dynamics in both condensed matter and cold atom systems beyond the low energy effective Luttinger liquid theory. Based on an intuitive physical picture, we speculate that the dynamic feature at high energies due to the multiparticle antibound state excitations can be generalized to nonintegrable spin systems.

Diagonalization of the Heun-Askey-Wilson operator, Leonard pairs and the algebraic Bethe ansatz

An operator of Heun-Askey-Wilson type is diagonalized within the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz using the theory of Leonard pairs. For different specializations and the generic case, the corresponding eigenstates are constructed in the form of Bethe states, whose Bethe roots satisfy Bethe ansatz equations of homogeneous or inhomogenous type. For each set of Bethe equations, an alternative presentation is given in terms of ‘symmetrized’ Bethe roots. Also, two families of on-shell Bethe states are shown to generate two explicit bases on which a Leonard pair acts in a tridiagonal fashion. In a second part, the (in)homogeneous Baxter T-Q relations are derived. Certain realizations of the Heun-Askey-Wilson operator as second q-difference operators are introduced. Acting on the Q-polynomials, they produce the T-Q relations. For a special case, the Q-polynomial is identified with the Askey-Wilson polynomial, which allows one to obtain the solution of the associated Bethe ansatz equations. The analysis presented can be viewed as a toy model for studying integrable models generated from the Askey-Wilson algebra and its generalizations. As examples, the q-analog of the quantum Euler top and various types of three-sites Heisenberg spin chains in a magnetic field with inhomogeneous couplings, three-body and boundary interactions are solved. Numerical examples are given. The results also apply to the time-band limiting problem in signal processing.

Why scalar products in the algebraic Bethe ansatz have determinant representation

We show that the scalar products of on-shell and off-shell Bethe vectors in the algebralic Bethe ansatz solvable models satisfy a system of linear equations. We find solutions to this system for a wide class of integrable models. We also apply our method to the XXX spin chain with broken U(l) symmetry.

On separation of variables for reflection algebras

We implement our new separation of variables (SoV) approach for open quantum integrable models associated to higher rank representations of the reflection algebras. We construct the (SoV) basis for the fundamental representations of the Y(gln) reflection algebra associated to general integrable boundary conditions. Moreover, we give the conditions on the boundary K-matrices allowing for the transfer matrix to be diagonalizable with simple spectrum. These SoV basis are then used to completely characterize the transfer matrix spectrum for the rank one and two reflection algebras. The rank one case is developed for both the rational and trigonometric fundamental representations of the 6-vertex reflection algebra. On the one hand, we extend the complete spectrum characterization to representations previously lying outside the SoV approach, e.g. those for which the standard algebraic Bethe Ansatz applies. On the other hand, we show that our new SoV construction can be reduced to the generalized Sklyanin’s one whenever it is applicable. The rank two case is developed explicitly for the fundamental representations of the Y(gl3) reflection algebra associated to general integrable boundary conditions. For both rank one and two our SoV approach leads to a complete characterization of the transfer matrix spectrum in terms of a set of polynomial solutions to the corresponding quantum spectral curve equation. Those are finite difference functional equations of order equal to the rank plus one, i.e. here two and three respectively for the Y(gl2) and Y(gl3) reflection algebras.

New symmetries of -invariant Bethe vectors

We consider quantum integrable models solvable by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz and possessing -invariant R-matrix. We study two types of Bethe vectors. The first type corresponds to the original monodromy matrix. The second type is associated to a monodromy matrix closely related to the inverse of the monodromy matrix. We show that these two types of Bethe vectors are identical up to normalization and reshuffling of the Bethe parameters. To prove this correspondence we use the current approach. This identity gives new combinatorial relations for the scalar products of the Bethe vectors. The q-deformed case, as well as the superalgebra case, are also evoked in the conclusion.

The algebraic Bethe Ansatz and combinatorial trees

We present in this paper a comprehensive introduction to the algebraic Bethe Ansatz, taking as examples the six-vertex model with periodic and non-periodic boundary conditions. We propose a diagrammatic representation of the commutation relations used in the algebraic Bethe Ansatz, so that the action of the transfer matrix in the nth excited state gives place to labeled combinatorial trees. The analysis of these combinatorial trees provides in a straightforward way the eigenvalues and eigenstates of the transfer matrix, as well as the respective Bethe Ansatz equations. Several identities between the R-matrix elements can also be derived from the symmetry of these diagrams regarding the permutation of their labels. This combinatorial approach gives some insights about how the algebraic Bethe Ansatz works, which can be valuable for non-experts readers.

Generalized sℓ(2) Gaudin algebra and corresponding Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation

The Gaudin model has been revisited many times, yet some important issues remained open so far. With this paper we aim to properly address its certain aspects, while clarifying, or at least giving a solid ground to some other. Our main contribution is establishing the relation between the off-shell Bethe vectors with the solutions of the corresponding Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations for the non-periodic sℓ(2) Gaudin model, as well as deriving the norm of the eigenvectors of the Gaudin Hamiltonians. Additionally, we provide a closed form expression also for the scalar products of the off-shell Bethe vectors. Finally, we provide explicit closed form of the off-shell Bethe vectors, together with a proof of implementation of the algebraic Bethe ansatz in full generality.

Determinant Representations for Scalar Products in the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz

We study integrable models with gl(2|1) symmetry that are solvable by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz. We obtain a new determinant representation for scalar products of twisted and ordinary on-shell Bethe vectors. The obtained representation leads to a new formula for the scalar products in models with gl(2) symmetry.

On Nested Bethe Ansatz for RTT Algebra of o(2n) Type

We study the highest weight representations of the RTT algebras for the R matrix of o(2n) type by the nested algebraic Bethe ansatz. We show how auxiliary RTT algebra A can be used to find Bethe vectors and Bethe conditions. For special representations, in which representation of RTT algebra A is trivial, the problem was solved by Reshetikhin.
