Bethe ansatz for the three-layer Zamolodchikov model

This paper is a continuation of our previous work (solv-int/9903001). We obtain two more functional relations for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrices for the $sl(3)$ chiral Potts model at $q^2=-1$. This model, up to a modification of boundary conditions, is equivalent to the three-layer three-dimensional Zamolodchikov model. From these relations we derive the Bethe ansatz equations.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, 5 figure

Functional relations and nested Bethe ansatz for sl(3) chiral Potts model at q^2=-1

We obtain the functional relations for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the sl(3) chiral Potts model for q^2=-1. For the homogeneous model in both directions a solution of these functional relations can be written in terms of roots of Bethe ansatz-like equations. In addition, a direct nested Bethe ansatz has also been developed for this case.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. and Ge

Spectral determinants for Schroedinger equation and Q-operators of Conformal Field Theory

Relation between the vacuum eigenvalues of CFT Q-operators and spectral determinants of one-dimensional Schroedinger operator with homogeneous potential, recently conjectured by Dorey and Tateo for special value of Virasoro vacuum parameter p, is proven to hold, with suitable modification of the Schroedinger operator, for all values of p.Comment: 9 pages, harvmac.tex, typos correcte

Integrable Structure of Conformal Field Theory II. Q-operator and DDV equation

This paper is a direct continuation of\ \BLZ\ where we begun the study of the integrable structures in Conformal Field Theory. We show here how to construct the operators ${\bf Q}_{\pm}(\lambda)$ which act in highest weight Virasoro module and commute for different values of the parameter $\lambda$. These operators appear to be the CFT analogs of the $Q$ - matrix of Baxter\ \Baxn, in particular they satisfy famous Baxter's ${\bf T}-{\bf Q}$ equation. We also show that under natural assumptions about analytic properties of the operators ${\bf Q}(\lambda)$ as the functions of $\lambda$ the Baxter's relation allows one to derive the nonlinear integral equations of Destri-de Vega (DDV)\ \dVega\ for the eigenvalues of the ${\bf Q}$-operators. We then use the DDV equation to obtain the asymptotic expansions of the ${\bf Q}$ - operators at large $\lambda$; it is remarkable that unlike the expansions of the ${\bf T}$ operators of \ \BLZ, the asymptotic series for ${\bf Q}(\lambda)$ contains the ``dual'' nonlocal Integrals of Motion along with the local ones. We also discuss an intriguing relation between the vacuum eigenvalues of the ${\bf Q}$ - operators and the stationary transport properties in boundary sine-Gordon model. On this basis we propose a number of new exact results about finite voltage charge transport through the point contact in quantum Hall system.Comment: Revised version, 43 pages, harvmac.tex.

The vertex formulation of the Bazhanov-Baxter Model

In this paper we formulate an integrable model on the simple cubic lattice. The $N$ -- valued spin variables of the model belong to edges of the lattice. The Boltzmann weights of the model obey the vertex type Tetrahedron Equation. In the thermodynamic limit our model is equivalent to the Bazhanov -- Baxter Model. In the case when $N=2$ we reproduce the Korepanov's and Hietarinta's solutions of the Tetrahedron equation as some special cases.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX fil

Universal integrability objects

We discuss the main points of the quantum group approach in the theory of quantum integrable systems and illustrate them for the case of the quantum group $U_q(\mathcal L(\mathfrak{sl}_2))$. We give a complete set of the functional relations correcting inexactitudes of the previous considerations. A special attention is given to the connection of the representations used to construct the universal transfer operators and $Q$-operators.Comment: 21 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of the International Workshop "CQIS-2012" (Dubna, January 23-27, 2012

Quantization of the N=2 Supersymmetric KdV Hierarchy

We continue the study of the quantization of supersymmetric integrable KdV hierarchies. We consider the N=2 KdV model based on the $sl^{(1)}(2|1)$ affine algebra but with a new algebraic construction for the L-operator, different from the standard Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. We construct the quantum monodromy matrix satisfying a special version of the reflection equation and show that in the classical limit, this object gives the monodromy matrix of N=2 supersymmetric KdV system. We also show that at both the classical and the quantum levels, the trace of the monodromy matrix (transfer matrix) is invariant under two supersymmetry transformations and the zero mode of the associated U(1) current.Comment: LaTeX2e, 12 page

Spectral zeta functions of a 1D Schr\"odinger problem

We study the spectral zeta functions associated to the radial Schr\"odinger problem with potential V(x)=x^{2M}+alpha x^{M-1}+(lambda^2-1/4)/x^2. Using the quantum Wronskian equation, we provide results such as closed-form evaluations for some of the second zeta functions i.e. the sum over the inverse eigenvalues squared. Also we discuss how our results can be used to derive relationships and identities involving special functions, using a particular 5F_4 hypergeometric series as an example. Our work is then extended to a class of related PT-symmetric eigenvalue problems. Using the fused quantum Wronskian we give a simple method for calculating the related spectral zeta functions. This method has a number of applications including the use of the ODE/IM correspondence to compute the (vacuum) nonlocal integrals of motion G_n which appear in an associated integrable quantum field theory.Comment: 15 pages, version
