We interpret an open orbit in a 32-dimensional representation space of Spin(9,1) x SL(2,R) as a substitute for the non-existent group of invertible 2x2 matrices over the octonions and study various natural homogeneous subspaces. The…
The spectral decomposition of regular sl_2-invariant R-matrices R(lambda) is studied by means of the method of reduction of the Yang-Baxter equation onto subspaces of a given spin. Restrictions on the possible structure of several highest…
We perform a systematic exact algebraic search for integrable spin-S chains which are isotropic in spin space, i.e. are su(2)-invariant. The families of spin chains found for S < 14 support recent arguments in favour of the complete…
In this paper we study an su$(m)$-invariant open version of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain whose ground state can be obtained from the chiral correlator of the $c=m-1$ free boson boundary conformal field theory. We show that this model is…
We apply the Sklyanin method of separation of variables to the reflection algebra underlying the open spin-1/2 XXX chain with non-diagonal boundary fields. The spectral problem can be formulated in terms of a TQ-equation which leads to the…
We consider the integrable open-chain transfer matrix corresponding to a Y=0 brane at one boundary, and a Y_theta=0 brane (rotated with the respect to the former by an angle theta) at the other boundary. We determine the exact eigenvalues…
We find families of integrable n-leg spin-1/2 ladders and tubes with general isotropic exchange interactions between spins. These models are equivalent to su(N) spin chains with N=2^n. Arbitrary rung interactions in the spin tubes and…
The graded reflection equation is investigated for the $U_{q}[sl(r|2m)^{(2)}]$ vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free parameters for some solutions depends…
It is shown that solvable mixed spin ladder models can be constructed from su(N) permutators. Heisenberg rung interactions appear as chemical potential terms in the Bethe Ansatz solution. Explicit examples given are a mixed spin-1/2 spin-1…
We derive and classify all regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for 19-vertex models known as Zamolodchikov-Fateev or $A_{1}^{(1)}$ model, Izergin-Korepin or $A_{2}^{(2)}$ model, sl(2|1) model and osp(2|1) model. We find…
We consider two group actions on $m$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices. The first is simultaneous conjugation by $\operatorname{GL}_n$ and the second is the left-right action of $\operatorname{SL}_n \times \operatorname{SL}_n$. We give…
The semiclassical limit of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz method is used to solve the theory of Gaudin models for the $sl(2|1)^{(2)}$ R-matrix. We find the spectra and eigenvectors of the $N-1$ independents Gaudin Hamiltonians. We also use the…
The gl(N) and U_q(gl(N)) quantum spin chains in the presence of integrable spin impurities are considered. Within the Bethe ansatz formulation, we derive the associated transmission amplitudes, and the corresponding transmission matrices…
We study integrable open boundary conditions for d(2,1;\alpha)^2 and psu(1,1|2)^2 spin-chains. Magnon excitations of these open spin-chains are mapped to massive excitations of type IIB open superstrings ending on D-branes in the AdS_3 x…
Two branches of integrable open quantum-group invariant $D_{n+1}^{(2)}$ quantum spin chains are known. For one branch (epsilon=0), a complete Bethe ansatz solution has been proposed. However, the other branch (epsilon=1) has so far resisted…
We review the derivation of the Gaudin model with integrable boundaries. Starting from the non-symmetric R-matrix of the inhomogeneous spin-1/2 XXZ chain and generic solutions of the reflection equation and the dual reflection equation, the…
We use the structural similarity of certain Coxeter Artin Systems to the Yang--Baxter and Reflection Equations to convert representations of these systems into new solutions of the Reflection Equation. We construct certain Bethe ansatz…
We study the exact solutions of quantum integrable model associated with the $C_n$ Lie algebra, with either a periodic or an open one with off-diagonal boundary reflections, by generalizing the nested off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method.…
We calculate the scalar product of Bethe states of the XXZ spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ chain with general integrable boundary conditions. The off-shell equations satisfied by the transfer matrix and the off-shell Bethe vectors allow one to derive a…
This work concerns the boundary integrability of the spin-s ${\cal{U}}_{q}[sl(2)]$ Temperley-Lieb model. A systematic computation method is used to constructed the solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations. For $s$ half-integer, a…
