Abstract
We give a review of some recent work on generalization of the Bethe ansatz in the case of -dimensional models of quantum field theory. As such a model, we consider one associated with the tetrahedron equation, i.e. the -dimensional generalization of the famous Yang--Baxter equation. We construct some eigenstates of the transfer matrix of that model. There arise, together with states composed of point-like particles analogous to those in the usual -dimensional Bethe ansatz, new string-like states and string-particle hybrids.
