Diagonal solutions to reflection equations in higher spin XXZ model

Abstract

A general fusion method to find solutions to the reflection equation in higher spin representations starting from the fundamental one is shown. The method is illustrated by applying it to obtaining the $K$ diagonal boundary matrices in an alternating spin $1/2$ and spin $1$ chain. The hamiltonian is also given. The applicability of the method to higher rank algebras is shown by obtaining the $K$ diagonal matrices for a spin chain in the $\left\{3^{\ast }\right\}$ representation of $su(3)$ from the $\left\{3\right\}$ representation.
