Quantum Group and Magnetic Translations. Bethe-Ansatz Solution for Azbel-Hofstadter Problem

Abstract

We present a new approach to the problem of Bloch electrons in magnetic ( sometimes called Azbel-Hofstadter problem) field, by making explicit a natural relation between the group of magnetic translations and the quantum group $U_q(s{l}_2)$. The approach allows us to express the "mid" band spectrum of the model and the Bloch wave function as solutions of the Bethe-Ansatz equations typical for completely integrable quantum systems. The zero mode wave functions are found explicitly in terms of $q$-deformed classical orthogonal polynomials.In this paper we present solution for the isotropic problem. We also present a class of solvable quasiperiodic equations related to $U_q(s{l}_2)$.
