We use the algebraic Bethe ansatz to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the spin-1 Temperley-Lieb open quantum chain with "free" boundary conditions. We exploit the associated reflection algebra in order to prove the off-shell…
We find new integrable boundary conditions, depending on a free parameter $g$, for the O(N) nonlinear $\sigma$ model, which are of nondiagonal type, that is, particles can change their ``flavor'' through scattering off the boundary. These…
To the Yang-Baxter equation an additional relation can be added. This is the reflection equation which appears in various places, with or without spectral parameter. For example, in factorizable scattering on a half-line, integrable lattice…
