Boundary Bethe ansatz in massive $Ad{S}_3$

Abstract

In this paper we perform the boundary algebraic Bethe Ansatz for massive representations of the $Ad{S}_3\times S^3\times T^4$ integrable system. This is a companion analysis to our study of massless representations \cite{Bielli:2024bve}. Our treatment is comprehensive of all possible assortments of tensor-factor polarisations which build the physical representations in the spectrum, and includes different choices of auxiliary spaces, revealing subtle differences in the procedure. We survey both singlet and vector boundaries, obtaining the auxiliary Bethe equations in very general form for all cases.
