We present the analytical Bethe ansatz for spin chains based on the superalgebras gl(M|N), $M\neq N$, with at each site an arbitrary representation (and including inhomogeneities). The calculation is done for closed and open spin chains. In…
We consider the case of an integrable quantum spin chain with "soliton non-peserving" boundary conditions. This is the first time that such boundary conditions have been considered in the spin chain framework. We construct the transfer…

In this contribution we review the theory of integrability of quantum systems in one spatial dimension. We introduce the basic concepts such as the Yang-Baxter equation, commuting currents, and the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Quite extensively…
We apply the algebraic Bethe ansatz developed in our previous paper \cite{CM} to three different families of U(1) integrable vertex models with arbitrary $N$ bond states. These statistical mechanics systems are based on the higher spin…
We diagonalize the transfer matrix of a solvable vertex model constructed by combining the vector representation of U_q[Sl(n|m)] and its dual by means of the quantum inverse scattering framework. The algebraic Bethe ansatz solution consider…
Recent renormalization group studies of impurities in spin-1/2 chains appear to be inconsistent with Bethe ansatz results for a special integrable model. We study this system in more detail around the integrable point in parameter space and…
We show that the transfer matrix of the A_{N-1}^(1) open spin chain with diagonal boundary fields has the symmetry U_q (SU(L)) x U_q (SU(N-L)) x U(1), as well as a ``duality'' symmetry which interchanges L and N - L. We exploit these…
We show that the quantum-algebra-invariant open spin chains associated with the affine Lie algebras $A^{(1)}_n$ for $n>1$ are integrable. The argument, which applies to a large class of other quantum-algebra-invariant chains, does not…
Baxter's Q-operator for the quantum transfer matrix of the XXZ spin-chain is constructed employing the representation theory of quantum groups. The spectrum of this Q-operator is discussed and novel functional relations which describe the…
A family of A_{2n}^(2) integrable open spin chains with U_q(C_n) symmetry was recently identified in arXiv:1702.01482. We identify here in a similar way a family of A_{2n-1}^(2) integrable open spin chains with U_q(D_n) symmetry, and two…
We present in an unified and detailed way the nested Bethe ansatz for open spin chains based on Y(gl(\fn)), Y(gl(\fm|\fn)), U_{q}(gl(\fn)) or U_{q}(gl(\fm|\fn)) (super)algebras, with arbitrary representations (i.e. `spins') on each site of…
Spin chains have been proposed as a reliable and convenient way of transferring information and entanglement in a quantum computational context. Nonetheless, it has to be expected that any physical implementation of these systems will be…
