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 `` spin models ---
quasi- 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
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
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
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
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

Symmetries of Discrete Systems
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

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