Bethe Ansatz for the Ruijsenaars Model of BC_1-Type

Abstract

We consider one-dimensional elliptic Ruijsenaars model of type $B{C}_1$. It is given by a three-term difference Schrödinger operator $L$ containing 8 coupling constants. We show that when all coupling constants are integers, $L$ has meromorphic eigenfunctions expressed by a variant of Bethe ansatz. This result generalizes the Bethe ansatz formulas known in the $A_1$-case.
