Factorization of R-matrix and Baxter's Q-operator

The general rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with the symmetry algebra sl(2) can be represented as the product of the simpler building blocks denoted as R-operators. The R-operators are constructed explicitly and have simple structure. Using the R-operators we construct the two-parametric Baxter's Q-operator for the generic inhomogeneous periodic XXX spin chain. In the case of homogeneous XXX spin chain it is possible to reduce the general Q-operator to the much simpler one-parametric operator.

Baxter Q-operator for graded SL(2|1) spin chain

We study an integrable noncompact superspin chain model that emerged in recent studies of the dilatation operator in the N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory. It was found that the latter can be mapped into a homogeneous Heisenberg magnet with the quantum space in all sites corresponding to infinite-dimensional representations of the SL(2|1) group. We extend the method of the Baxter Q-operator to spin chains with supergroup symmetry and apply it to determine the eigenspectrum of the model. Our analysis relies on a factorization property of the R-operators acting on the tensor product of two generic infinite-dimensional SL(2|1) representations. It allows us to factorize an arbitrary transfer matrix into a product of three `elementary' transfer matrices which we identify as Baxter Q-operators. We establish functional relations between transfer matrices and use them to derive the TQ-relations for the Q-operators. The proposed construction can be generalized to integrable models based on supergroups of higher rank and, in distinction to the Bethe Ansatz, it is not sensitive to the existence of the pseudovacuum state in the quantum space of the model.

Baxter operators for the quantum sl(3) invariant spin chain

The noncompact homogeneous sl(3) invariant spin chains are considered. We show that the transfer matrix with generic auxiliary space is factorized into the product of three sl(3) invariant commuting operators. These operators satisfy the finite difference equations in the spectral parameters which follow from the structure of the reducible sl(3) modules.

Factorization of the R-matrix.II

We study the rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with the supersymmetry algebra sl(2|1). The R-matrix acting in the tensor product of two arbitrary representations of the supersymmetry algebra can be represented as the product of the simpler "building blocks". We construct in a such way the general rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with the supersymmetry algebra sl(2|1).

Superconformal operators in Yang-Mills theories on the light-cone

We employ the light-cone superspace formalism to develop an efficient approach to constructing superconformal operators of twist two in Yang-Mills theories with N=1,2,4 supercharges. These operators have an autonomous scale dependence to one-loop order and determine the eigenfunctions of the dilatation operator in the underlying gauge theory. We demonstrate that for arbitrary N the superconformal operators are given by remarkably simple, universal expressions involving the light-cone superfields. When written in components field, they coincide with the known results obtained by conventional techniques.

Quantum integrability in (super) Yang-Mills theory on the light-cone

We employ the light-cone formalism to construct in the (super) Yang-Mills theories in the multi-color limit the one-loop dilatation operator acting on single trace products of chiral superfields separated by light-like distances. In the N=4 Yang-Mills theory it exhausts all Wilson operators of the maximal Lorentz spin while in nonsupersymmetric Yang-Mills theory it is restricted to the sector of maximal helicity gluonic operators. We show that the dilatation operator in all N-extended super Yang-Mills theories is given by the same integral operator which acts on the (N+1)-dimensional superspace and is invariant under the SL(2|N) superconformal transformations. We construct the R-matrix on this space and identify the dilatation operator as the Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg SL(2|N) spin chain.

Superconformal operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory

We construct, in the framework of the N=4 SYM theory, a supermultiplet of twist-two conformal operators and study their renormalization properties. The components of the supermultiplet have the same anomalous dimension and enter as building blocks into multi-particle quasipartonic operators. The latter are determined by the condition that their twist equals the number of elementary constituent fields from which they are built. A unique feature of the N=4 SYM is that all quasipartonic operators with different SU(4) quantum numbers fall into a single supermultiplet. Among them there is a subsector of the operators of maximal helicity, which has been known to be integrable in the multi-color limit in QCD, independent of the presence of supersymmetry. In the N=4 SYM theory, this symmetry is extended to the whole supermultiplet of quasipartonic operators and the one-loop dilatation operator coincides with a Hamiltonian of integrable SL(2|4) Heisenberg spin chain.

Dilatation operator in (super-)Yang-Mills theories on the light-cone

The gauge/string correspondence hints that the dilatation operator in gauge theories with the superconformal SU(2,2|N) symmetry should possess universal integrability properties for different N. We provide further support for this conjecture by computing a one-loop dilatation operator in all (super)symmetric Yang-Mills theories on the light-cone ranging from gluodynamics all the way to the maximally supersymmetric N=4 theory. We demonstrate that the dilatation operator takes a remarkably simple form when realized in the space spanned by single-trace products of superfields separated by light-like distances. The latter operators serve as generating functions for Wilson operators of the maximal Lorentz spin and the scale dependence of the two are in the one-to-one correspondence with each other. In the maximally supersymmetric, N=4 theory all nonlocal light-cone operators are built from a single CPT self-conjugated superfield while for N=0,1,2 one has to deal with two distinct superfields and distinguish three different types of such operators. We find that for the light-cone operators built from only one species of superfields, the one-loop dilatation operator takes the same, universal form in all SYM theories and it can be mapped in the multi-color limit into a Hamiltonian of the SL(2|N) Heisenberg (super)spin chain of length equal to the number of superfields involved. For "mixed'' light-cone operators involving both superfields the dilatation operator for N<=2 receives an additional contribution from the exchange interaction between superfields on the light-cone which breaks its integrability symmetry and creates a mass gap in the spectrum of anomalous dimensions.

Separation of variables for the quantum SL(2,R) spin chain

We construct representation of the Separated Variables (SoV) for the quantum SL(2,R) Heisenberg closed spin chain and obtain the integral representation for the eigenfunctions of the model. We calculate explicitly the Sklyanin measure defining the scalar product in the SoV representation and demonstrate that the language of Feynman diagrams is extremely useful in establishing various properties of the model. The kernel of the unitary transformation to the SoV representation is described by the same "pyramid diagram" as appeared before in the SoV representation for the SL(2,C) spin magnet. We argue that this kernel is given by the product of the Baxter Q-operators projected onto a special reference state.

Noncompact Heisenberg spin magnets from high-energy QCD: III. Quasiclassical approach

The exact solution of the noncompact SL(2,C) Heisenberg spin magnet reveals a hidden symmetry of the energy spectrum. To understand its origin, we solve the spectral problem for the model within quasiclassical approach. In this approach, the integrals of motion satisfy the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization conditions imposed on the orbits of classical motion. In the representation of the separated coordinates, the latter wrap around a Riemann surface defined by the spectral curve of the model. A novel feature of the obtained quantization conditions is that they involve both the alpha- and beta-periods of the action differential on the Riemann surface, thus allowing us to find their solutions by exploring the full modular group of the spectral curve. We demonstrate that the quasiclassical energy spectrum is in a good agreement with the exact results.

Noncompact Heisenberg spin magnets from high-energy QCD: II. Quantization conditions and energy spectrum

We present a complete description of the spectrum of compound states of reggeized gluons in QCD in multi-colour limit. The analysis is based on the identification of these states as ground states of noncompact Heisenberg SL(2,C) spin magnet. A unique feature of the magnet, leading to many unusual properties of its spectrum, is that the quantum space is infinite-dimensional and conventional methods, like the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz, are not applicable. Our solution relies on the method of the Baxter Q-operator. Solving the Baxter equations, we obtained the explicit expressions for the eigenvalues of the Q-operator. They allowed us to establish the quantization conditions for the integrals of motion and, finally, reconstruct the spectrum of the model. We found that intercept of the states built from even (odd) number of reggeized gluons, N, is bigger (smaller) than one and it decreases (increases) with N approaching the same unit value for infinitely large N.

Noncompact Heisenberg spin magnets from high-energy QCD: I. Baxter Q-operator and Separation of Variables

We analyze a completely integrable two-dimensional quantum-mechanical model that emerged in the recent studies of the compound gluonic states in multi-color QCD at high energy. The model represents a generalization of the well-known homogenous Heisenberg spin magnet to infinite-dimensional representations of the SL(2,C) group and can be reformulated within the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method. Solving the Yang-Baxter equation, we obtain the R-matrix for the SL(2,C) representations of the principal series and discuss its properties. We explicitly construct the Baxter Q-operator for this model and show how it can be used to determine the energy spectrum. We apply Sklyanin's method of the Separated Variables to obtain an integral representation for the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the language of Feynman diagrams supplemented with the method of uniqueness provide a powerful technique for analyzing the properties of the model.

Parton interactions in the Bjorken limit of QCD

We consider the Bjorken limit in the framework of the effective action approach and discuss its similarities to the Regge limit. The proposed effective action allows for a rather simple calculation of the known evolution kernels. We represent the result in terms of two-parton interaction operators involving gluon and quark operators depending on light-ray position and helicity and analyze their symmetry properties.

Universal R-matrix as integral operator

We derive the integral operator form for the general rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with $s\ell(2|1)$ symmetry. Considering the defining relations for the kernel of the R-operator as a system of second order differential equations we observe remarkable reduction to a system of simple first order equations. The obtained kernel of R-operator has a very simple structure. To illustrate all this in the simplest situation we treat also the $s\ell(2)$ case.

Computation of quark mass anomalous dimension at O(1/N_f^2) in quantum chromodynamics

We present the formalism to calculate d-dimensional critical exponents in QCD in the large N_f expansion where N_f is the number of quark flavours. It relies in part on demonstrating that at the d-dimensional fixed point of QCD the critical theory is equivalent to a non-abelian version of the Thirring model. We describe the techniques used to compute critical two and three loop Feynman diagrams and as an application determine the quark wave function, eta, and mass renormalization critical exponents at O(1/N_f^2) in d-dimensions. Their values when expressed in relation to four dimensional perturbation theory are in exact agreement with the known four loop MSbar results. Moreover, new coefficients in these renormalization group functions are determined to six loops and O(1/N_f^2). The computation of the exponents in the Schwinger Dyson approach is also provided and an expression for eta in arbitrary covariant gauge is given.

Baxter's Q-operator for the homogeneous XXX spin chain

Applying the Pasquier-Gaudin procedure we construct the Baxter's Q-operator for the homogeneous XXX model as integral operator in standard representation of SL(2). The connection between Q-operator and local Hamiltonians is discussed. It is shown that operator of Lipatov's duality symmetry arises naturally as leading term of the asymptotic expansion of Q-operator for large values of spectral parameter.
