Tetrahedron Reflection Equation

Reflection equation for the scattering of lines moving in half-plane is obtained. The corresponding geometric picture is related with configurations of half-planes touching the boundary plane in 2+1 dimensions. This equation can be obtained as an additional to the tetrahedron equation consistency condition for a modified Zamolodchikov algebra.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe

Quantum group covariant systems

The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the transformation. Various algebras are considered which are covariant with respect to the quantum (super) groups $SU_q(2),\; SU_q(1, 1),\; SU_q(1|1),\; SU_q(n), \\ SU_q(m|n),\; OSp_q(1|2)$ as well as deformed Minkowski space-time algebras.Comment: 12 pages, Late

Trigonometric osp(1|2) Gaudin model

The problems connected with Gaudin models are reviewed by analyzing model related to the trigonometric osp(1|2) classical r-matrix. The eigenvectors of the trigonometric osp(1|2) Gaudin Hamiltonians are found using explicitly constructed creation operators. The commutation relations between the creation operators and the generators of the trigonometric loop superalgebra are calculated. The coordinate representation of the Bethe states is presented. The relation between the Bethe vectors and solutions to the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation yields the norm of the eigenvectors. The generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system is discussed both in the rational and in the trigonometric case.Comment: 27 pages, LaTeX2

Irreducible representations of deformed oscillator algebra and q-special functions

Different generators of a deformed oscillator algebra give rise to one-parameter families of $q$-exponential functions and $q$-Hermite polynomials related by generating functions. Connections of the Stieltjes and Hamburger classical moment problems with the corresponding resolution of unity for the $q$-coherent states and with 'coordinate' operators - Jacobi matrices, are also pointed out.Comment: Contribution to the workshop IWCQIS-96 (JINR, Dubna
