Abstract

We investigate the possible regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the vertex models associated with the An1(1)A_{n-1}^{(1)} affine Lie algebra. We have classified them in two classes of solutions. The first class consists of n(n1)/2n(n-1)/2 K-matrix solutions with three free parameters. The second class are solutions that depend on the parity of nn. For nn odd there exist nn reflection matrices with 2+[n/2]2+[n/2] free parameters. It turns out that for nn even there exist n/2n/2 K-matrices with 2+n/22+n/2 free parameters and n/2n/2 K-matrices with 1+n/21+n/2 free parameters.
