Based on properties of the universal R-matrix, we derive universal Baxter TQ-relations for quantum integrable systems with (diagonal) open boundaries associated with $U_{q}(\widehat{sl_{2}})$. The Baxter TQ-relations for the open XXZ-spin…
The Baxterization process for the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation is studied. We introduce the local dynamical Hecke ,Temperley-Lieb and Birman-Murakami-Wenzl operators, then by inserting spectral parameters, from each representation of…
It is shown that the transfer matrices of homogeneous sl(2) invariant spin chains with generic spin, both closed and open, are factorized into the product of two operators. The latter satisfy the Baxter equation that follows from the…
We revisit the so-called folded XXZ model, which was treated earlier by two independent research groups. We argue that this spin-1/2 chain is one of the simplest quantum integrable models, yet it has quite remarkable physical properties.…
We analyse the famous Baxter's $T-Q$ equations for $XXX$ ($XXZ$) spin chain and show that apart from its usual polynomial (trigonometric) solution, which provides the solution of Bethe-Ansatz equations, there exists also the second solution…
The algebraic structures underlying quasi-exact solvability for spin 1/2 Hamiltonians in one dimension are studied in detail. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix second-order differential operator preserving a space of wave…
The Quantum Inverse Scattering Method is a scheme for solving integrable models in $1+1$ dimensions, building on an $R$-matrix that satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation and in terms of which one constructs a commuting family of transfer…
This PhD thesis explores the similarities between integrable spin chains and quantum field theories, such as Super Yang Mills. We first study integrable spin chains and build explicitly a polynomial "Backlund flow" and polynomial…
We define and study the quantum equivariant $K$-theory of cotangent bundles over Grassmannians. For every tautological bundle in the $K$-theory we define its one-parametric deformation, referred to as quantum tautological bundle. We prove…
We consider the `universal monodrimy operators' for the Baxter Q-operators. They are given as images of the universal R-matrix in oscillator representation. We find related universal factorization formulas in $U_{q}(\hat{sl}(2))$ case.
We analyze a completely integrable two-dimensional quantum-mechanical model that emerged in the recent studies of the compound gluonic states in multi-color QCD at high energy. The model represents a generalization of the well-known…
We introduce Baxter Q-operators for the quantum Ruijsenaars hyperbolic system. We prove that they represent a commuting family of integral operators and also commute with Macdonald difference operators, which are gauge equivalent to the…
The noncompact homogeneous sl(3) invariant spin chains are considered. We show that the transfer matrix with generic auxiliary space is factorized into the product of three sl(3) invariant commuting operators. These operators satisfy the…
This work is based on the author's PhD thesis. The main result of the thesis is the use of the boost operator to develop a systematic method to construct new integrable spin chains with nearest-neighbour interaction and characterized by an…
The integrable XXZ alternating spin chain with generic non-diagonal boundary terms specified by the most general non-diagonal K-matrices is studied via the off-diagonal Bethe Ansatz method. Based on the intrinsic properties of the fused…
We present a family of novel Lax operators corresponding to representations of the RTT-realisation of the Yangian associated with $D$-type Lie algebras. These Lax operators are of oscillator type, i.e. one space of the operators is…
We introduce a $Q$-operator $\mathcal{Q}_z$ for the hyperbolic Calogero--Moser system as a one-parameter family of explicit integral operators. We establish the standard properties of a $Q$-operator, i.e.~invariance of Hamiltonians,…
The Baxter-Bazhanov-Stroganov model (also known as the \tau^(2) model) has attracted much interest because it provides a tool for solving the integrable chiral Z_N-Potts model. It can be formulated as a face spin model or via cyclic…
In integrable spin chains, the spectral problem can be solved by the method of Bethe ansatz, which transforms the problem of diagonalization of the Hamiltonian into the problem of solving a set of algebraic equations named Bethe equations.…
Functional equations methods are a fundamental part of the theory of Exactly Solvable Models in Statistical Mechanics and they are intimately connected with Baxter's concept of commuting transfer matrices. This concept has culminated in the…
