High energy QCD as a completely integrable model

We show that the one-dimensional lattice model proposed by Lipatov to describe the high energy scattering of hadrons in multicolor QCD is completely integrable. We identify this model as the XXX Heisenberg chain of noncompact spin $s=0$ and find the conservation laws of the model. A generalized Bethe ansatz is developed for the diagonalization of the hamiltonian and for the calculation of hadron-hadron scattering amplitude.Comment: Latex style, 16 pages, ITP-SB-94-1

Complete Pseudohole and Heavy-Pseudoparticle Operator Representation for the Hubbard Chain

We introduce the pseudohole and heavy-pseudoparticle operator algebra that generates all Hubbard-chain eigenstates from a single reference vacuum. In addition to the pseudoholes already introduced for the description of the low-energy physics, this involves the heavy pseudoparticles associated with Hamiltonian eigenstates whose energy spectrum has a gap relatively to the many-electron ground state. We introduce a generalized pseudoparticle perturbation theory which describes the relevant finite-energy ground state transitions. In the present basis these excitations refer to a small density of excited pseudoparticles. Our operator basis goes beyond the Bethe-ansatz solution and it is the suitable and correct starting point for the study of the finite-frequency properties, which are of great relevance for the understanding of the unusual spectral properties detected in low-dimensional novel materials.Comment: LaTeX, 32 pages, no Figures.

Introduction to Quantum Integrability

In this article we review the basic concepts regarding quantum integrability. Special emphasis is given on the algebraic content of integrable models. The associated algebras are essentially described by the Yang-Baxter and boundary Yang-Baxter equations depending on the choice of boundary conditions. The relation between the aforementioned equations and the braid group is briefly discussed. A short review on quantum groups as well as the quantum inverse scattering method (algebraic Bethe ansatz) is also presented.Comment: 56 pages, Latex. A few typos correcte

Construction and exact solution of a nonlinear quantum field model in quasi-higher dimension

Nonperturbative exact solutions are allowed for quantum integrable models in one space-dimension. Going beyond this class we propose an alternative Lax matrix approach, exploiting the hidden multi-time concept in integrable systems and construct a novel quantum nonlinear Schroedinger model in quasi-two dimensions. An intriguing field commutator is discovered, confirming the integrability of the model and yielding its exact Bethe ansatz solution with rich scattering and bound-state properties. The universality of the scheme is expected to cover diverse models, opening up a new direction in the field.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, Latex (This version to be published in Nucl Phys B as Frontiers Article

On correlation functions of integrable models associated to the six-vertex R-matrix

We derive an analog of the master equation obtained recently for correlation functions of the XXZ chain for a wide class of quantum integrable systems described by the R-matrix of the six-vertex model, including in particular continuum models. This generalized master equation allows us to obtain multiple integral representations for the correlation functions of these models. We apply this method to derive the density-density correlation functions of the quantum non-linear Schrodinger model.Comment: 21 page

Integrable approach to simple exclusion processes with boundaries. Review and progress

We study the matrix ansatz in the quantum group framework, applying integrable systems techniques to statistical physics models. We start by reviewing the two approaches, and then show how one can use the former to get new insight on the latter. We illustrate our method by solving a model of reaction-diffusion. An eigenvector for the transfer matrix for the XXZ spin chain with non-diagonal boundary is also obtained using a matrix ansatz.Comment: 44 page

On determinant representations of scalar products and form factors in the SoV approach: the XXX case

In the present article we study the form factors of quantum integrable lattice models solvable by the separation of variables (SoV) method. It was recently shown that these models admit universal determinant representations for the scalar products of the so-called separate states (a class which includes in particular all the eigenstates of the transfer matrix). These results permit to obtain simple expressions for the matrix elements of local operators (form factors). However, these representations have been obtained up to now only for the completely inhomogeneous versions of the lattice models considered. In this article we give a simple algebraic procedure to rewrite the scalar products (and hence the form factors) for the SoV related models as Izergin or Slavnov type determinants. This new form leads to simple expressions for the form factors in the homogeneous and thermodynamic limits. To make the presentation of our method clear, we have chosen to explain it first for the simple case of the $XXX$ Heisenberg chain with anti-periodic boundary conditions. We would nevertheless like to stress that the approach presented in this article applies as well to a wide range of models solved in the SoV framework.Comment: 46 page
