Representations of orthogonal and symplectic Yangians

Exteded Yangian algebras of orthogonal and symplectic types are defined by the Yang-Baxter RLL relation involving the fundamental R-matrix with $so(n)$ or $sp(2m)$ symmetry. We study representations of highest weight characterized by weight function ratios. We consider the algebra relations for the linear and the quadratic evaluations and the resulting conditions imposed on the representation weights. We present expressions of L-operators constructed on underlying Clifford and Heisenberg algebras and characterize their representations.

Yang-Baxter R-operators for osp superalgebras

We study Yang-Baxter equations with orthosymplectic supersymmetry. We extend a new approach of the construction of the spinor and metaplectic $\hat{\cal R}$-operators with orthogonal and symplectic symmetries to the supersymmetric case of orthosymplectic symmetry. In this approach the orthosymplectic $\hat{\cal R}$-operator is given by the ratio of two operator valued Euler Gamma-functions. We illustrate this approach by calculating such $\hat{\cal R}$ operators in explicit form for special cases of the $osp(n|2m)$ algebra, in particular for a few low-rank cases. We also propose a novel, simpler and more elegant, derivation of the Shankar-Witten type formula for the $osp$ invariant $\hat{\cal R}$-operator and demonstrate the equivalence of the previous approach to the new one in the general case of the $\hat{\cal R}$-operator invariant under the action of the $osp(n|2m)$ algebra.

Spinorial R operator and Algebraic Bethe Ansatz

We propose a new approach to the spinor-spinor R-matrix with orthogonal and symplectic symmetry. Based on this approach and the fusion method we relate the spinor-vector and vector-vector monodromy matrices for quantum spin chains. We consider the explicit spinor R matrices of low rank orthogonal algebras and the corresponding RTT algebras. Coincidences with fundamental R matrices allow to relate the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for spinor and vector monodromy matrices.

Defining work done on electromagnetic field

The problem of defining work done on electromagnetic field (EMF) via moving charges does not have a ready solution, because the standard Hamiltonian of EMF does not predict gauge-invariant energy changes. This limits applications of statistical mechanics to EMF. We obtained a new, explicitly gauge-invariant Hamiltonian for EMF that depends only on physical observables. This Hamiltonian allows to define thermodynamic work done on EMF and to formulate the second law for the considered situation. It also leads to a direct link between this law and the electrodynamic arrow of time, i.e. choosing retarded, and not advanced solutions of wave-equations. Measuring the thermodynamic work can give information on whether the photon mass is small but non-zero.

Orthogonal and symplectic Yangians - linear and quadratic evaluations

Orthogonal or symplectic Yangians are defined by the Yang-Baxter $RLL$ relation involving the fundamental $R$ matrix with $so(n)$ or $sp(2m)$ symmetry. Simple $L$ operators with linear or quadratic dependence on the spectral parameter exist under restrictive conditions. These conditions are investigated in general form.

Yangians and Yang-Baxter R-operators for ortho-symplectic superalgebras

Yang-Baxter relations symmetric with respect to the ortho-symplectic superalgebras are studied. We start from the formulation of graded algebras and the linear superspace carrying the vector (fundamental) representation of the ortho-symplectic supergroup. On this basis we study the analogy of the Yang-Baxter operators considered earlier for the cases of orthogonal and symplectic symmetries: the vector (fundamental) R matrix, the L operator defining the Yangian algebra and its first and second order evaluations. We investigate the condition for L(u) in the case of the truncated expansion in inverse powers of u and give examples of Lie algebra representations obeying these conditions. We construct the R operator intertwining two super-spinor representations and study the fusion of L operators involving the tensor product of such representations.

Orthogonal and symplectic Yangians and Yang-Baxter R-operators

Yang-Baxter R operators symmetric with respect to the orthogonal and symplectic algebras are considered in an uniform way. Explicit forms for the spinorial and metaplectic R operators are obtained. L operators, obeying the RLL relation with the orthogonal or symplectic fundamental R matrix, are considered in the interesting cases, where their expansion in inverse powers of the spectral parameter is truncated. Unlike the case of special linear algebra symmetry the truncation results in additional conditions on the Lie algebra generators of which the L operators is built and which can be fulfilled in distinguished representations only. Further, generalised L operators, obeying the modified RLL relation with the fundamental R matrix replaced by the spinorial or metaplectic one, are considered in the particular case of linear dependence on the spectral parameter. It is shown how by fusion with respect to the spinorial or metaplectic representation these first order spinorial L operators reproduce the ordinary L operators with second order truncation.

Baxter operators with deformed symmetry

Baxter operators are constructed for quantum spin chains with deformed $s\ell_2$ symmetry. The parallel treatment of Yang-Baxter operators for the cases of undeformed, trigonometrically and elliptically deformed symmetries presented earlier and relying on the factorization regarding parameter permutations is extended to the global chain operators following the scheme worked out recently in the undeformed case.

New solutions to the $s\ell_q(2)$-invariant Yang-Baxter equations at roots of unity: cyclic representations

We find the all solutions to the $sl_q(2)$-invariant multi-parametric Yang-Baxter equations (YBE) at $q=i$ defined on the cyclic (semi-cyclic, nilpotent) representations of the algebra. We are deriving the solutions in form of the linear combinations over the $sl_q(2)$-invariant objects - projectors. The direct construction of the projector operators at roots of unity gives us an opportunity to consider all the possible cases, including also degenerated one, when the number of the projectors becomes larger, and various type of solutions are arising, and as well as the inhomogeneous case. We are giving a full classification of the YBE solutions for the considered representations. A specific character of the solutions is the existence of the arbitrary functions.

Baxter operators for arbitrary spin

We construct Baxter operators for the homogeneous closed $\mathrm{XXX}$ spin chain with the quantum space carrying infinite or finite dimensional $s\ell_2$ representations. All algebraic relations of Baxter operators and transfer matrices are deduced uniformly from Yang-Baxter relations of the local building blocks of these operators. This results in a systematic and very transparent approach where the cases of finite and infinite dimensional representations are treated in analogy. Simple relations between the Baxter operators of both cases are obtained. We represent the quantum spaces by polynomials and build the operators from elementary differentiation and multiplication operators. We present compact explicit formulae for the action of Baxter operators on polynomials.

Baxter operators for arbitrary spin II

This paper presents the second part of our study devoted to the construction of Baxter operators for the homogeneous closed XXX spin chain with the quantum space carrying infinite or finite-dimensional $s\ell_2$ representations. We consider the Baxter operators used in \cite{BLZ,Shortcut}, formulate their construction uniformly with the construction of our previous paper. The building blocks of all global chain operators are derived from the general Yang-Baxter operators and all operator relations are derived from general Yang-Baxter relations. This leads naturally to the comparison of both constructions and allows to connect closely the treatment of the cases of infinite-dimensional representation of generic spin and finite-dimensional representations of integer or half-integer spin. We proof not only the relations between the operators but present also their explicit forms and expressions for their action on polynomials representing the quantum states.

New solutions to the $s\ell_q(2)$-invariant Yang-Baxter equations at roots of unity

We find new solutions to the Yang-Baxter equations with the $R$-matrices possessing $sl_q(2)$ symmetry at roots of unity, using indecomposable representations. The corresponding quantum one-dimensional chain models, which can be treated as extensions of the XXZ model at roots of unity, are investigated. We consider the case $q^4=1$. The Hamiltonian operators of these models as a rule appear to be non-Hermitian. Taking into account the correspondence between the representations of the quantum algebra $sl_q(2)$ and the quantum super-algebra $osp_t(1|2)$, the presented analysis can be extended to the latter case for the appropriate values of the deformation parameter.

Fusion Rules of the Lowest Weight Representations of osp_q(1|2) at Roots of Unity: Polynomial Realization and Degeneration at Roots of Unity

The degeneracy of the lowest weight representations of the quantum superalgebra $osp_q(1|2)$ and their tensor products at exceptional values of %when deformation parameter $q$ takes exceptional values is studied. The main features of the structures of the finite dimensional lowest weight representations and their fusion rules are illustrated using realization of group generators as finite-difference operators acting in the space of the polynomials. The complete fusion rules for the decompositions of the tensor products at roots of unity are presented. The appearance of indecomposable representations in the fusions is described using Clebsh-Gordan coefficients derived for general values of $q$ and at roots of unity.

Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equations with $osp_q(1|2)$ symmetry: Lax operators

We find a new $4\times4$ solution to the $osp_q(1|2)$-invariant Yang-Baxter equation with simple dependence on the spectral parameter and propose $2\times 2$ matrix expressions for the corresponding Lax operator. The general inhomogeneous universal spectral-parameter dependent $R$-matrix is derived. It is proven, that there are two independent solutions to the homogeneous $osp_q(1|2)$-invariant YBE, defined on the fundamental three dimensional representations. One of them is the particular case of the universal matrix, while the second one does not admit generalization to the higher dimensional cases. Also the $3 \times 3$ matrix expression of the Lax operator is found, which have a well defined limit at $q \to 1$.

Iterative construction of $U_q (s\ell (n+1)) $ representations and Lax matrix factorisation

The construction of a generic representation of $g\ell(n+1)$ or of the trigonomentric deformation of its enveloping algebra known as algebraic induction is conveniently formulated in term of Lax matrices. The Lax matrix of the constructed representation factorises into parts determined by the Lax matrix of a generic representation of the algebra with reduced rank and others appearing in the factorised expression of the Lax matrix of the special Jordan-Schwinger representation.

Yang-Baxter R operators and parameter permutations

We present an uniform construction of the solution to the Yang- Baxter equation with the symmetry algebra $s\ell(2)$ and its deformations: the q-deformation and the elliptic deformation or Sklyanin algebra. The R-operator acting in the tensor product of two representations of the symmetry algebra with arbitrary spins $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ is built in terms of products of three basic operators $\mathcal{S}_1, \mathcal{S}_2,\mathcal{S}_3$ which are constructed explicitly. They have the simple meaning of representing elementary permutations of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_4$, the permutation group of the four parameters entering the RLL-relation.

Baxter Q-operators of the XXZ chain and R-matrix factorization

We construct Baxter operators as generalized transfer matrices being traces of products of generic $R$ matrices. The latter are shown to factorize into simpler operators allowing for explicit expressions in terms of functions of a Weyl pair of basic operators. These explicit expressions are the basis for explicit expression for Baxter Q-operators and for investigating their properties.
