We derive an analytic expression for point to point correlation functions of the Polyakov loop based on the transfer matrix formalism. The contributions from the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix including and beyond the mass gap are…
A new open spin chain hamiltonian is introduced. It is both integrable (Sklyanin`s type $K$ matrices are used to achieve this) and invariant under ${\cal U}_{\epsilon}(sl(2))$ transformations in nilpotent irreps for $\epsilon^3=1$. Some…
In this work we revisit the problem of the quantization of the two-dimensional O(3) non-linear sigma model and its one-parameter integrable deformation -- the sausage model. Our consideration is based on the so-called ODE/IQFT…
Recently, it has been proposed that the S-matrix elements on the world volume of an abelian D$_3$-brane are consistent with the Ward identity associated with the S-duality. In this paper we extend this study to the case of multiple…
We continue our exercises with the universal $R$-matrix based on the Khoroshkin and Tolstoy formula. Here we present our results for the case of the twisted affine Kac--Moody Lie algebra of type $A^{(2)}_2$. Our interest in this case is…
We investigate the $g_2$-invariant bulk (1+1D, factorized) $S$-matrix constructed by Ogievetsky, using the bootstrap on the three-point coupling of the vector multiplet to constrain its CDD ambiguity. We then construct the corresponding…
Based on the technique of quasiclassical Green's functions, we construct a theoretical framework for describing heterostructures consisting of superconductors and/or spin-polarized materials. The necessary boundary conditions at the…
We introduce a two-parameter deformation of 2x2 matrices without imposing any condition on the matrices and give the universal R-matrix of the nonstandard quantum group which satisfies the quantum Yang-Baxter relation. Although in the…
For two $n \times n$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$, we define the $q$-deformed commutator as $[ A, B ]_q := A B - q BA$ for a real parameter $q$. In this paper, we investigate a generalization of the B\"{o}ttcher-Wenzel inequality which…
Baxter's Q-operator is generally believed to be the most powerful tool for the exact diagonalization of integrable models. Curiously, it has hitherto not yet been properly constructed in the simplest such system, the compact spin-1/2…
We present two new proofs of the the important q-commuting property holding among certain pairs of quantum minors of an n x n q-generic matrix. The first uses elementary quasideterminantal arithmetic; the second involves paths in an…
Two distinct $\eta$-deformations of strings on AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ can be defined; both amount to integrable quantum deformations of the string non-linear sigma model, but only one is itself a superstring background. In this paper we compare…
For a boundary CFT to give a good approximation to the bulk flat-space S-matrix, a number of conditions need to be satisfied: some of those are investigated here. In particular, one would like to identify an appropriate set of approximate…
We introduce and study matrix transfers to achieve elementary models for bivariant $K$-theory. They share lots of common properties with Voevodsky's framed correspondences and lead to symmetric matrix motives of algebraic varieties…
We establish the integrability of a family of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models with uniform $p$-body interactions. We derive the R-matrix and mutually commuting transfer matrices that generate the Hamiltonians of these models, and obtain…
We discover a deep connection between parity-time (PT) symmetric optical systems and quantum transport in one-dimensional fermionic chains in a two-terminal open system setting. The spectrum of one dimensional tight-binding chain with…
Recent studies by Copetti, C\'ordova and Komatsu have revealed that when non-invertible symmetries are spontaneously broken, the conventional crossing relation of the S-matrix is modified by the effects of the corresponding topological…
In this paper we apply our new separation of variables approach to completely characterize the transfer matrix spectrum for quantum integrable lattice models associated to fundamental evaluation representations of $\mathcal{U}_{q}…
We construct two classes of infinitely many commuting operators associated with the elliptic quantum group $U_{q,p}(\hat{sl_N})$. We call one of them the integral of motion ${\cal G}_m$, $(m \in {\mathbb N})$ and the other the boundary…
A hermitian one-matrix model with an even quartic potential exhibits a third-order phase transition when the cuts of the matrix model curve coalesce. We use the known solutions of this matrix model to compute effective superpotentials of an…
