Abstract

In this paper we consider systems of quantum particles in the 4d4d Euclidean space which enjoy conformal symmetry. The algebraic relations for conformal-invariant combinations of positions and momenta are used to construct a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation in the unitary irreducibile representations of the principal series Δ=2+iν\Delta=2+i\nu for any left/right spins ,˙\ell,\dot{\ell} of the particles. Such relations are interpreted in the language of Feynman diagrams as integral \emph{star-triangle} identites between propagators of a conformal field theory. We prove the quantum integrability of a spin chain whose kk-th site hosts a particle in the representation (Δk,k,˙k)(\Delta_k,\ell_k, \dot{ \ell}_k) of the conformal group, realizing a spinning and inhomogeneous version of the quantum magnet used to describe the spectrum of the bi-scalar Fishnet theories. For the special choice of particles in the scalar (1,0,0)(1,0,0) and fermionic (3/2,1,0)(3/2,1,0) representation the transfer matrices of the model are Bethe-Salpeter kernels for the double-scaling limit of specific two-point correlators in the γ\gamma-deformed N=4\mathcal{N}=4 and N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric theories.
