Quantum Dilogarithms and New Integrable Lattice Models in Three Dimensions

In this paper we introduce a new class of integrable 3D lattice models, possessing continuous families of commuting layer-to-layer transfer matrices. Algebraically, this commutativity is based on a very special construction of local Boltzmann weights in terms of quantum dilogarithms satisfying the inversion and pentagon identities. We give three examples of such quantum dilogarithms, leading to integrable 3D lattice models. The partition function per site in these models can be exactly calculated in the limit of an infinite lattice by using the functional relations, symmetry and factorization properties of the transfer matrix. The results of such calculations for 3D models associated with the Faddeev modular quantum dilogarithm are briefly presented.

Non-commutative bi-rational maps satisfying Zamolodchikov equation, and Desargues lattices

We present new solutions of the functional Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation in terms of birational maps in totally non-commutative variables. All the maps originate from Desargues lattices, which provide geometric realization of solutions to the non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa system. The first map is derived using the original Hirota's gauge for the corresponding linear problem, and the second one from its affine (non-homogeneous) description. We provide also an interpretation of the maps within the local Yang-Baxter equation approach. We exploit decomposition of the second map into two simpler maps which, as we show, satisfy the pentagonal condition. We provide also geometric meaning of the matching ten-term condition between the pentagonal maps. The generic description of Desargues lattices in homogeneous coordinates allows to define another solution of the Zamolodchikov equation, but with functional parameter which should be adjusted in a particular way. Its ultra-local reduction produces a birational quantum map (with two central parameters) with Zamolodchikov property, which preserves Weyl commutation relations. In the classical limit our construction gives the corresponding Poisson map satisfying the Zamolodchikov condition.

Spectral equations for the modular oscillator

Motivated by applications for non-perturbative topological strings in toric Calabi--Yau manifolds, we discuss the spectral problem for a pair of commuting modular conjugate (in the sense of Faddeev) Harper type operators, corresponding to a special case of the quantized mirror curve of local $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ and complex values of Planck's constant. We illustrate our analytical results by numerical calculations.

Classical and Quantum Dilogarithm Identities

Using the quantum cluster algebra formalism of Fock and Goncharov, we present several forms of quantum dilogarithm identities associated with periodicities in quantum cluster algebras, namely, the tropical, universal, and local forms. We then demonstrate how classical dilogarithm identities naturally emerge from quantum dilogarithm identities in local form in the semiclassical limit by applying the saddle point method.
