The Group of Quasisymmetric Homeomorphisms of the Circle and Quantization of the Universal Teichm\"uller Space

In the first part of the paper we describe the complex geometry of the universal Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T$, which may be realized as an open subset in the complex Banach space of holomorphic quadratic differentials in the unit disc. The quotient $\mathcal S$ of the diffeomorphism group of the circle modulo M\"obius transformations may be treated as a smooth part of $\mathcal T$. In the second part we consider the quantization of universal Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T$. We explain first how to quantize the smooth part $\mathcal S$ by embedding it into a Hilbert-Schmidt Siegel disc. This quantization method, however, does not apply to the whole universal Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal T$, for its quantization we use an approach, due to Connes

Explicit Free Parameterization of the Modified Tetrahedron Equation

The Modified Tetrahedron Equation (MTE) with affine Weyl quantum variables at N-th root of unity is solved by a rational mapping operator which is obtained from the solution of a linear problem. We show that the solutions can be parameterized in terms of eight free parameters and sixteen discrete phase choices, thus providing a broad starting point for the construction of 3-dimensional integrable lattice models. The Fermat curve points parameterizing the representation of the mapping operator in terms of cyclic functions are expressed in terms of the independent parameters. An explicit formula for the density factor of the MTE is derived. For the example N=2 we write the MTE in full detail. We also discuss a solution of the MTE in terms of bosonic continuum functions.Comment: 28 pages, 3 figure

Ground states of Heisenberg evolution operator in discrete three-dimensional space-time and quantum discrete BKP equations

In this paper we consider three-dimensional quantum q-oscillator field theory without spectral parameters. We construct an essentially big set of eigenstates of evolution with unity eigenvalue of discrete time evolution operator. All these eigenstates belong to a subspace of total Hilbert space where an action of evolution operator can be identified with quantized discrete BKP equations (synonym Miwa equations). The key ingredients of our construction are specific eigenstates of a single three-dimensional R-matrix. These eigenstates are boundary states for hidden three-dimensional structures of U_q(B_n^1) and U_q(D_n^1)$.Comment: 13 page

Quantum 2+1 evolution model

A quantum evolution model in 2+1 discrete space - time, connected with 3D fundamental map R, is investigated. Map R is derived as a map providing a zero curvature of a two dimensional lattice system called "the current system". In a special case of the local Weyl algebra for dynamical variables the map appears to be canonical one and it corresponds to known operator-valued R-matrix. The current system is a kind of the linear problem for 2+1 evolution model. A generating function for the integrals of motion for the evolution is derived with a help of the current system. The subject of the paper is rather new, and so the perspectives of further investigations are widely discussed.Comment: LaTeX, 37page

New series of 3D lattice integrable models

In this paper we present a new series of 3-dimensional integrable lattice models with $N$ colors. The case $N=2$ generalizes the elliptic model of our previous paper. The weight functions of the models satisfy modified tetrahedron equations with $N$ states and give a commuting family of two-layer transfer-matrices. The dependence on the spectral parameters corresponds to the static limit of the modified tetrahedron equations and weights are parameterized in terms of elliptic functions. The models contain two free parameters: elliptic modulus and additional parameter $\eta$. Also we briefly discuss symmetry properties of weight functions of the models.Comment: 17 pages, IHEP-93-126, Late

New solution of vertex type tetrahedron equations

In this paper we formulate a new N-state spin integrable model on a three-dimensional lattice with spins interacting round each elementary cube of the lattice. This model can be also reformulated as a vertex type model. Weight functions of the model satisfy tetrahedron equations.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, IHEP-94-10
