Abstract

We consider the quantum Lobachevsky space $L_{q}^{3}$ , which is defined as subalgebra of the Hopf algebra $A_{q} (S L_{2} (C))$ . The Iwasawa decomposition of $A_{q} (S L_{2} (C))$ introduced by Podles and Woronowicz allows to consider the quantum analog of the horospheric coordinates on $L_{q}^{3}$ . The action of the Casimir element, which belongs to the dual to $A_{q}$ quantum group $U_{q} (S L_{2} (C))$ , on some subspace in $L_{q}^{3}$ in these coordinates leads to a second order difference operator on the infinite one-dimensional lattice. In the continuos limit $q \to 1$ it is transformed into the Schrödinger Hamiltonian, which describes zero modes into the Liouville field theory (the Liouville quantum mechanics). We calculate the spectrum (Brillouin zones) and the eigenfunctions of this operator. They are $q$ -continuos Hermit polynomials, which are particular case of the Macdonald or Rogers-Askey-Ismail polynomials. The scattering in this problem corresponds to the scattering of first two level dressed excitations in the $Z_{N}$ Baxter model in the very peculiar limit when the anisotropy parameter $\ga$ and $N \to \infty$ , or, equivalently, $(\ga, N)\rightarrow 0$.
