    New Fundamental Symmetries of Integrable Systems and Partial Bethe Ansatz

    We introduce a new concept of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras. The quantum quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras being simple but non-trivial deformations of ordinary algebras of monodromy matrices realize a new type of quantum dynamical symmetries and find an unexpected and remarkable applications in quantum inverse scattering method (QISM). We show that applying to quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras the standard procedure of QISM one obtains new wide classes of quantum models which, being integrable (i.e. having enough number of commuting integrals of motion) are only quasi-exactly solvable (i.e. admit an algebraic Bethe ansatz solution for arbitrarily large but limited parts of the spectrum). These quasi-exactly solvable models naturally arise as deformations of known exactly solvable ones. A general theory of such deformations is proposed. The correspondence ``Yangian --- quasi-Yangian'' and ``XXXXXX spin models --- quasi-XXXXXX spin models'' is discussed in detail. We also construct the classical conterparts of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras and show that they naturally lead to new classes of classical integrable models. We conjecture that these models are quasi-exactly solvable in the sense of classical inverse scattering method, i.e. admit only partial construction of action-angle variables.Comment: 49 pages, LaTe

    Dolan-Grady Relations and Noncommutative Quasi-Exactly Solvable Systems

    Get PDF
    We investigate a U(1) gauge invariant quantum mechanical system on a 2D noncommutative space with coordinates generating a generalized deformed oscillator algebra. The Hamiltonian is taken as a quadratic form in gauge covariant derivatives obeying the nonlinear Dolan-Grady relations. This restricts the structure function of the deformed oscillator algebra to a quadratic polynomial. The cases when the coordinates form the su(2) and sl(2,R) algebras are investigated in detail. Reducing the Hamiltonian to 1D finite-difference quasi-exactly solvable operators, we demonstrate partial algebraization of the spectrum of the corresponding systems on the fuzzy sphere and noncommutative hyperbolic plane. A completely covariant method based on the notion of intrinsic algebra is proposed to deal with the spectral problem of such systems.Comment: 25 pages; ref added; to appear in J. Phys.

    Quantum transfer matrices for discrete and continuous quasi-exactly solvable problems

    Get PDF
    We clarify the algebraic structure of continuous and discrete quasi-exactly solvable spectral problems by embedding them into the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. The quasi-exactly solvable hamiltonians in one dimension are identified with traces of quantum monodromy matrices for specific integrable systems with non-periodic boundary conditions. Applications to the Azbel-Hofstadter problem are outlined.Comment: 15 pages, standard LaTe

    Quasi-Exact Solvability in Local Field Theory. First Steps

    Full text link
    The quantum mechanical concept of quasi-exact solvability is based on the idea of partial algebraizability of spectral problem. This concept is not directly extendable to the systems with infinite number of degrees of freedom. For such systems a new concept based on the partial Bethe Ansatz solvability is proposed. In present paper we demonstrate the constructivity of this concept and formulate a simple method for building quasi-exactly solvable field theoretical models on a one-dimensional lattice. The method automatically leads to local models described by hermitian hamiltonians.Comment: LaTeX, 11 page

    Additional restrictions on quasi-exactly solvable systems

    Full text link
    In this paper we discuss constraints on two-dimensional quantum-mechanical systems living in domains with boundaries. The constrains result from the requirement of hermicity of corresponding Hamiltonians. We construct new two-dimensional families of formally exactly solvable systems and applying such constraints show that in real the systems are quasi-exactly solvable at best. Nevertheless in the context of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians some of the constructed families are exactly solvable.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, extended version of talk given at the International Workshop on Classical and Quantum Integrable Systems "CQIS-06", Protvino, Russia, January 23-26, 200

    Symmetries of Discrete Systems

    Full text link
    In this series of lectures presented at the CIMPA Winter School on Discrete Integrable Systems in Pondicherry, India, in February, 2003 we give a review of the application of Lie point symmetries, and their generalizations to the study of difference equations. The overall theme of these lectures could be called "continuous symmetries of discrete equations".Comment: 58 pages, 5 figures, Lectures presented at the Winter School on Discrete Integrable Systems in Pondicherry, India, February 200

    Exact and quasiexact solvability of second-order superintegrable quantum systems: I. Euclidean space preliminaries

    Get PDF
    We show that second-order superintegrable systems in two-dimensional and three-dimensional Euclidean space generate both exactly solvable (ES) and quasiexactly solvable (QES) problems in quantum mechanics via separation of variables, and demonstrate the increased insight into the structure of such problems provided by superintegrability. A principal advantage of our analysis using nondegenerate superintegrable systems is that they are multiseparable. Most past separation of variables treatments of QES problems via partial differential equations have only incorporated separability, not multiseparability. Also, we propose another definition of ES and QES. The quantum mechanical problem is called ES if the solution of Schrödinger equation can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions mFn and is QES if the Schrödinger equation admits polynomial solutions with coefficients necessarily satisfying a three-term or higher order of recurrence relations. In three dimensions we give an example of a system that is QES in one set of separable coordinates, but is not ES in any other separable coordinates. This example encompasses Ushveridze's tenth-order polynomial QES problem in one set of separable coordinates and also leads to a fourth-order polynomial QES problem in another separable coordinate set

    Quasi Exactly Solvable Difference Equations

    Full text link
    Several explicit examples of quasi exactly solvable `discrete' quantum mechanical Hamiltonians are derived by deforming the well-known exactly solvable Hamiltonians of one degree of freedom. These are difference analogues of the well-known quasi exactly solvable systems, the harmonic oscillator (with/without the centrifugal potential) deformed by a sextic potential and the 1/sin^2x potential deformed by a cos2x potential. They have a finite number of exactly calculable eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.Comment: LaTeX with amsfonts, no figure, 17 pages, a few typos corrected, a reference renewed, 3/2 pages comments on hermiticity adde
