Yang-Baxter equation and reflection equations in integrable models

The definitions of the main notions related to the quantum inverse scattering methods are given. The Yang-Baxter equation and reflection equations are derived as consistency conditions for the factorizable scattering on the whole line and on the half-line using the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra. Due to the vertex-IRF model correspondence the face model analogue of the ZF-algebra and the IRF reflection equation are written down as well as the $Z_2$-graded and colored algebra forms of the YBE and RE.

Quantum groups and deformed special relativity

The structure and properties of possible $q$-Minkowski spaces is discussed, and the corresponding non-commutative differential calculi are developed in detail and compared with already existing proposals. This is done by stressing its covariance properties as described by appropriate reflection equations. Some isomorphisms among the space-time and derivative algebras are demonstrated, and their representations are described briefly. Finally, some physical consequences and open problems are discussed.

Gauss Decomposition for Quantum Groups and Supergroups

The Gauss decompositions of the quantum groups, related to classical Lie groups and supergroups are considered by the elementary algebraic and $R$-matrix methods. The commutation relations between new basis generators (which are introduced by the decomposition) are described in some details. It is shown that the reduction of the independent generator number in the new basis to the dimension of related classical (super) group is possible. The classical expression for (super) determinant through the Gauss decomposition generators is not changed in the deformed case. The symplectic quantum group $Sp_q(2)$ and supergroups $GL_q(1|1), GL_q(2|1)$ are considered as examples.

On the physical contents of q-deformed Minkowski spaces

Some physical aspects of $q$-deformed spacetimes are discussed. It is pointed out that, under certain standard assumptions relating deformation and quantization, the classical limit (Poisson bracket description) of the dynamics is bound to contain unusual features. At the same time, it is argued that the formulation of an associated $q$-deformed field theory is fraught with serious difficulties.

Stationary problems for equation of the KdV type and dynamical $r$-matrices.

We study a quite general family of dynamical $r$-matrices for an auxiliary loop algebra ${\cal L}({su(2)})$ related to restricted flows for equations of the KdV type. This underlying $r$-matrix structure allows to reconstruct Lax representations and to find variables of separation for a wide set of the integrable natural Hamiltonian systems. As an example, we discuss the Henon-Heiles system and a quartic system of two degrees of freedom in detail.

Quantum Groups,Deformed Oscillators and their Interrelations

The main notions of the quantum groups: coproduct, action and coaction, representation and corepresentation are discussed using simplest examples: $GL_q(2)$, $sl_q(2)$, $q$-oscillator algebra ${\cal A}(q)$, and reflection equation algebra. The Gauss decompositions of quantum groups and their realizations in terms of\, ${\cal A}(q)$ are given.

Representations of q-Minkowski space algebra

The properties of the quantum Minkowski space algebra are discussed. Its irreducible representations with highest weight vectors are constructed and relations to other quantum algebras: $su_{q}(2)$, $q$-oscillator, $q$-sphere are pointed out.

Reflection equations and q-Minkowski space algebras

We express the defining relations of the $q$-deformed Minkowski space algebra as well as that of the corresponding derivatives and differentials in the form of reflection equations. This formulation encompasses the covariance properties with respect the quantum Lorentz group action in a straightforward way.

Covariance Properties of Reflection Equation Algebras

The reflection equations (RE) are a consistent extension of the Yang-Baxter equations (YBE) with an addition of one element, the so-called reflection matrix or $K$-matrix. For example, they describe the conditions for factorizable scattering on a half line just like the YBE give the conditions for factorizable scattering on an entire line. The YBE were generalized to define quadratic algebras, \lq Yang-Baxter algebras\rq\ (YBA), which were used intensively for the discussion of quantum groups. Similarly, the RE define quadratic algebras, \lq the reflection equation algebras\rq\ (REA), which enjoy various remarkable properties both new and inherited from the YBA. Here we focus on the various properties of the REA, in particular, the quantum group comodule properties, generation of a series of new solutions by composing known solutions, the extended REA and the central elements, etc.

Quantum Groups, $q$-Oscillators and Covariant Algebras

The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group $F_q(GL(2))$, quantum algebra $sl_q(2)$, $q$-oscillator and $F_q$-covariant algebra.) Appropriate reductions of the covariant algebra of second rank $q$-tensors give rise to the algebras of the $q$-oscillator and the $q$-sphere. A special covariant algebra related to the reflection equation corresponds to the braid group in a space with nontrivial topology.

Algebraic Structures Related to Reflection Equations

Quadratic algebras related to the reflection equations are introduced. They are quantum group comodule algebras. The quantum group $F_q(GL(2))$ is taken as the example. The properties of the algebras (center, representations, realizations, real forms, fusion procedure etc) as well as the generalizations are discussed.

Constant Solutions of Reflection Equations and Quantum Groups

To the Yang-Baxter equation an additional relation can be added. This is the reflection equation which appears in various places, with or without spectral parameter. For example, in factorizable scattering on a half-line, integrable lattice models with non-periodic boundary conditions, non-commutative differential geometry on quantum groups, etc. We study two forms of spectral parameter independent reflection equations, chosen by the requirement that their solutions be comodules with respect to the quantum group coaction leaving invariant the reflection equations. For a variety of known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation we give the constant solutions of the reflection equations. Various quadratic algebras defined by the reflection equations are also given explicitly.
