Spectral analysis of an open $q$-difference Toda chain with two-sided boundary interactions on the finite integer lattice

Abstract

A quantum $n$-particle model consisting of an open $q$-difference Toda chain with two-sided boundary interactions is placed on a finite integer lattice. The spectrum and eigenbasis are computed by establishing the equivalence with a previously studied $q$-boson model from which the quantum integrability is inherited. Specifically, the $q$-boson-Toda correspondence in question yields Bethe Ansatz eigenfunctions in terms of hyperoctahedral Hall-Littlewood polynomials and provides the pertinent solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations via the global minima of corresponding Yang-Yang type Morse functions.
