For generic values of q, all the eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the U_q sl(2)-invariant open spin-1/2 XXZ chain with finite length N can be constructed using the algebraic Bethe ansatz (ABA) formalism of Sklyanin. However, when q is…
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…
The spin chains originating from large-N conformal gauge theories are of a special kind: The Hamiltonian is not invariant under the symmetry algebra, it is rather a part of it. This leads to interesting properties within the asymptotic…
We consider rational integrable supersymmetric gl(m|n) spin chains in the defining representation and prove the isomorphism between a commutative algebra of conserved charges (the Bethe algebra) and a polynomial ring (the Wronskian algebra)…
Inspired by the integrable structures appearing in weakly coupled planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we study Q-operators and Yangian invariants of rational integrable spin chains. We review the quantum inverse scattering method along with…
We formulate a closed set of equations for the spectrum of two-dimensional bi-scalar fishnet conformal field theory, comprising Baxter equations and quantisation conditions, which we derive operatorially from the underlying sl(2) spin…
We present new integrable models of interacting spin-1/2 chains, which can be interpreted as hard rod deformations of the XXZ Heisenberg chains. The models support multiple particle types: dynamical hard rods of length $\ell$ and particles…
The integrable open-boundary conditions for the Bariev model of three coupled one-dimensional XY spin chains are studied in the framework of the boundary quantum inverse scattering method. Three kinds of diagonal boundary K-matrices leading…
We consider the case of an integrable quantum spin chain with ``soliton non-preserving'' boundary conditions. This is the first time that such boundary conditions have been considered in the spin chain framework. We construct the transfer…
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 establish a direct connection between inhomogeneous XX spin chains (or free fermion systems with nearest-neighbors hopping) and certain QES models on the line giving rise to a family of weakly orthogonal polynomials. We classify all such…
We solve the $A_{2n}^{(2)}$ vertex model with all kinds of diagonal reflecting matrices by using the algebraic Behe ansatz, which includes constructing the multi-particle states and achieving the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix and…
A general formulation of the Boundary Quantum Inverse Scattering Method is given which is applicable in cases where $R$-matrix solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation do not have the property of crossing unitarity. Suitably modified forms of…
We study the exact solution of an $N$-state vertex model based on the representation of the $U_q[SU(2)]$ algebra at roots of unity with diagonal open boundaries. We find that the respective reflection equation provides us one general class…
In this paper we investigate complex solutions of the Bethe equations in the two-particle sector both for arbitrary finite number of sites and for the thermodynamic limit . We find the number of complex solutions (strings) and compare it…
In this note we report the results of our study of a 1D integrable spin chain whose critical behaviour is governed by a CFT possessing a continuous spectrum of scaling dimensions. It is argued that the computation of the density of Bethe…
We study the finite size spectrum of integrable quantum chains of interacting non-Abelian anyons constructed using the Drinfeld double of the dihedral group $D_3$. The gapless low energy modes are identified as the direct product of two…
The fused six-vertex models with open boundary conditions are studied. The Bethe ansatz solution given by Sklyanin has been generalized to the transfer matrices of the fused models. We have shown that the eigenvalues of transfer matrices…
The exact solution of an integrable anisotropic Heisenberg spin chain with nearest-neighbour, next-nearest-neighbour and scalar chirality couplings is studied, where the boundary condition is the antiperiodic one. The detailed construction…
We construct explicitly the open descendants of some exceptional automorphism invariants of U(2N) orbifolds. We focus on the case N=pq, p and q prime, and on the automorphisms of the diagonal and charge conjugation invariants that exist for…
