We consider integrable boundary conditions for both discrete and continuum classical integrable models. Local integrals of motion generated by the corresponding transfer matrices give rise to time evolution equations for the initial Lax…
The trigonometric KZ equations associated with a Lie algebra $\g$ depend on a parameter $\lambda\in\h$ where $\h\subset\g$ is the Cartan subalgebra. We suggest a system of dynamical difference equations with respect to $\lambda$ compatible…
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…
We introduce a new framework that yields spectral bounds on norms of functions of transition maps for finite, homogeneous Markov chains. The techniques employed work for bounded semigroups, in particular for classical as well as for quantum…
The notion of compatible braidings was introduced by Isaev, Ogievetsky and Pyatov. On the base of this notion they defined certain quantum matrix algebras generalizing the RTT algebras and Reflection Equation ones. They also defined analogs…
An informal introduction to our recent work on the principal chiral model with boundary. We found that both classically integrable boundary conditions and quantum boundary S-matrices were classified by the symmetric spaces G/H. The…
We introduce a new infinite class of superintegrable quantum systems in the plane. Their Hamiltonians involve reflection operators. The associated Schr\"odinger equations admit separation of variables in polar coordinates and are exactly…
The mutually commuting $1\times n$ fused single and double-row transfer matrices of the critical six-vertex model are considered at roots of unity $q=e^{i\lambda}$ with crossing parameter $\lambda=\frac{(p'-p)\pi}{p'}$ a rational fraction…

We consider quantum integrable models solvable by the algebraic Bethe ansatz and possessing $\mathfrak{gl}(2)$-invariant $R$-matrix. We study the models of both periodic boundary conditions and boundary conditions based on reflection…
Peculiar properties of many classical and quantum systems can be related to, or derived from those of a free particle. In this way we explain the appearance and peculiarities of the exotic nonlinear Poincar\'e supersymmetry in…
Yang-Baxter integrable vertex models with a generic $\mathbb{Z}_2$-staggering can be expressed in terms of composite $\mathbb{R}$-matrices given in terms of the elementary $R$-matrices. Similarly, integrable open boundary conditions can be…
The square-lattice eight-vertex model with vertex weights $a,b,c,d$ obeying the relation $(a^2+ab)(b^2+ab) = (c^2+ab)(d^2+ab)$ and periodic boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the transfer matrix of the model for $L=2n+1$…
