Hamiltonian Dynamics, Classical R-matrices and Isomonodromic Deformations

The Hamiltonian approach to the theory of dual isomonodromic deformations is developed within the framework of rational classical R-matrix structures on loop algebras. Particular solutions to the isomonodromic deformation equations appearing in the computation of correlation functions in integrable quantum field theory models are constructed through the Riemann-Hilbert problem method. The corresponding $\tau$-functions are shown to be given by the Fredholm determinant of a special class of integral operators.Comment: LaTeX 13pgs (requires lamuphys.sty).

Free field constructions for the elliptic algebra Aq,p(sl^2){\cal A}_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2) and Baxter's eight-vertex model

Three examples of free field constructions for the vertex operators of the elliptic quantum group ${\cal A}_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2)$ are obtained. Two of these (for $p^{1/2}=\pm q^{3/2},p^{1/2}=-q^2$) are based on representation theories of the deformed Virasoro algebra, which correspond to the level 4 and level 2 $Z$-algebra of Lepowsky and Wilson. The third one ($p^{1/2}=q^{3}$) is constructed over a tensor product of a bosonic and a fermionic Fock spaces. The algebraic structure at $p^{1/2}=q^{3}$, however, is not related to the deformed Virasoro algebra. Using these free field constructions, an integral formula for the correlation functions of Baxter's eight-vertex model is obtained. This formula shows different structure compared with the one obtained by Lashkevich and Pugai.Comment: 23 pages.

Elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(^sl_2): Drinfeld currents and vertex operators

We investigate the structure of the elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(^sl_2) introduced earlier by one of the authors. Our construction is based on a new set of generating series in the quantum affine algebra U_q(^sl_2), which are elliptic analogs of the Drinfeld currents. They enable us to identify U_{q,p}(^sl_2) with the tensor product of U_q(^sl_2) and a Heisenberg algebra generated by P,Q with [Q,P]=1. In terms of these currents, we construct an L operator satisfying the dynamical RLL relation in the presence of the central element c. The vertex operators of Lukyanov and Pugai arise as `intertwiners' of U_{q,p}(^sl_2) for level one representation, in the sense to be elaborated on in the text. We also present vertex operators with higher level/spin in the free field representation.Comment: 49 pages, (AMS-)LaTeX ; added an explanation of integration contours; added comments.

The Analytic Structure of Trigonometric S Matrices

$S$-matrices associated to the vector representations of the quantum groups for the classical Lie algebras are constructed. For the $a_{m-1}$ and $c_m$ algebras the complete $S$-matrix is found by an application of the bootstrap equations. It is shown that the simplest form for the $S$-matrix which generalizes that of the Gross-Neveu model is not consistent for the non-simply-laced algebras due to the existence of unexplained singularities on the physical strip. However, a form which generalizes the $S$-matrix of the principal chiral model is shown to be consistent via an argument which uses a novel application of the Coleman-Thun mechanism. The analysis also gives a correct description of the analytic structure of the $S$-matrix of the principle chiral model for $c_m$.Comment: 25 pages (macro included, 6 figures included as uuencoded compressed tar file), CERN-TH.6888/93, (An important argument is corrected leading to a novel application of the Coleman-Thun mechanism.

Vertex operator approach for correlation functions of Belavin's (Z/nZ)-symmetric model

Belavin's $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model is considered on the basis of bosonization of vertex operators in the $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ model and vertex-face transformation. The corner transfer matrix (CTM) Hamiltonian of $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model and tail operators are expressed in terms of bosonized vertex operators in the $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ model. Correlation functions of $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model can be obtained by using these objects, in principle. In particular, we calculate spontaneous polarization, which reproduces the result by myselves in 1993.Comment: For the next thirty days the full text of this article is available at http://stacks.iop.org/1751-8121/42/16521

Fusion of the qq-Vertex Operators and its Application to Solvable Vertex Models

We diagonalize the transfer matrix of the inhomogeneous vertex models of the 6-vertex type in the anti-ferroelectric regime intoducing new types of q-vertex operators. The special cases of those models were used to diagonalize the s-d exchange model\cite{W,A,FW1}. New vertex operators are constructed from the level one vertex operators by the fusion procedure and have the description by bosons. In order to clarify the particle structure we estabish new isomorphisms of crystals. The results are very simple and figure out representation theoretically the ground state degenerations.Comment: 35 page

Impurity Operators in RSOS Models

We give a construction of impurity operators in the `algebraic analysis' picture of RSOS models. Physically, these operators are half-infinite insertions of certain fusion-RSOS Boltzmann weights. They are the face analogue of insertions of higher spin lines in vertex models. Mathematically, they are given in terms of intertwiners of $U(\hat{sl}_2)_q$ modules. We present a detailed perturbation theory check of the conjectural correspondence between the physical and mathematical constructions in a particular simple example.Comment: Latex, 24 pages, uses amsmath, amsthm, amssymb, epic, eepic and texdraw style files (Minor typos corrected) (minor changes

Quantum groups and q-lattices in phase space

Quantum groups lead to an algebraic structure that can be realized on quantum spaces. These are noncommutative spaces that inherit a well defined mathematical structure from the quantum group symmetry. In turn such quantum spaces can be interpreted as noncommutative configuration spaces for physical systems which carry a symmetry like structure. These configuration spaces will be generalized to noncommutative phase space. The definition of the noncommutative phase space will be based on a differential calculus on the configuration space which is compatible with the symmetry. In addition a conjugation operation will be defined which will allow us to define the phase space variables in terms of algebraically selfadjoint operators. An interesting property of the phase space observables will be that they will have a discrete spectrum. These noncommutative phase space puts physics on a lattice structure.Comment: 6 pages, Postscrip

Free Field Approach to the Dilute A_L Models
