Quantum transfer matrices for discrete and continuous quasi-exactly solvable problems

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

We clarify the algebraic structure of continuous and discrete quasi-exactly solvable spectral problems by embedding them into the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. The quasi-exactly solvable hamiltonians in one dimension are identified with traces of quantum monodromy matrices for specific integrable systems with non-periodic boundary conditions. Applications to the Azbel-Hofstadter problem are outlined.
