Abstract

We diagonalize the BB-element of monodromy matrix for noncompact open SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb{C}) spin chain with boundary interaction. The monodromy matrix is defined in terms of SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb{C}) LL-operator and boundary KK-matrix. The eigenfunctions of BB-operator are constructed iteratively using raising Λ\Lambda-operators. The key role in the calculations plays the Baxter QQ-operator commuting with the BB-operator. The main building blocks for Λ\Lambda- and QQ-operators are K\mathcal{K}-operator -- the general solution of reflection equation and R\mathcal{R}-operator -- the reduction of the general solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. Two types of the symmetry of eigenfunctions are established. The first kind is the invariance under permutations and reflections of spectral variables, or in other words, under the action of Weyl group of B and C root systems. The second kind is the symmetry with respect to transformation (s,g)(1s,1g)(s,g) \to (1-s,1-g), where ss is the spin variable and gg is the parameter of KK-matrix. We prove that obtained system of eigenfunctions is orthogonal and complete. The calculation of the scalar product of eigenfunction is given in initial coordinate representation. We derive the Mellin-Barnes integral representation for eigenfunctions and use it to prove the comleteness.
