Boundary transfer matrices arising from quantum symmetric pairs

Andrea Appel, Bart Vlaar

We introduce a universal framework for boundary transfer matrices, inspired by Sklyanin's two-row transfer matrix approach for quantum integrable systems with boundary conditions.…

A Q-operator for open spin chains II: boundary factorization

Alec Cooper, Bart Vlaar, Robert Weston

One of the features of Baxter's Q-operators for many closed spin chain models is that all transfer matrices arise as products of two Q-operators with shifts in the spectral paramet…

Trigonometric K-matrices for finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras

Andrea Appel, Bart Vlaar

Let be a complex simple Lie algebra and the corresponding quantum affine algebra. We prove that every irreducible finite-dimensional $U_q(\…

Quasi-bialgebras from set-theoretic type solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Anastasia Doikou, Alexandros Ghionis, Bart Vlaar

We examine classes of quantum algebras emerging from involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and their q-analogues. After providing some univ…

Pseudo-symmetric pairs for Kac-Moody algebras

Vidas Regelskis, Bart Vlaar

Lie algebra involutions and their fixed-point subalgebras give rise to symmetric spaces and real forms of complex Lie algebras, and are well-studied in the context of symmetrizable…

Universal K-matrices for quantum Kac-Moody algebras

Andrea Appel, Bart Vlaar

We introduce the notion of a cylindrical bialgebra, which is a quasitriangular bialgebra endowed with a universal K-matrix, i.e., a universal solution of a generalized reflecti…

A Q-operator for open spin chains I: Baxter's TQ relation

Bart Vlaar, Robert Weston

We construct a Q-operator for the open XXZ Heisenberg quantum spin chain with diagonal boundary conditions and give a rigorous derivation of Baxter's TQ relation. Key roles in the…

Integral solutions to boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations

Nicolai Reshetikhin, Jasper Stokman, Bart Vlaar

We construct integral representations of solutions to the boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. These are difference equations taking values in tensor products of Verm…

Reflection matrices, coideal subalgebras and generalized Satake diagrams of affine type

Vidas Regelskis, Bart Vlaar

We present a generalization of the theory of quantum symmetric pairs as developed by Kolb and Letzter. We introduce a class of generalized Satake diagrams that give rise to (not ne…

Boundary transfer matrices and boundary quantum KZ equations

Bart Vlaar

A simple relation between inhomogeneous transfer matrices and boundary quantum KZ equations is exhibited for quantum integrable systems with reflecting boundary conditions, analogo…

Koornwinder polynomials and the XXZ spin chain

Jasper Stokman, Bart Vlaar

Nonsymmetric Koornwinder polynomials are multivariable extensions of nonsymmetric Askey-Wilson polynomials. They naturally arise in the representation theory of (double) affine Hec…

Boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and Bethe vectors

Nicolai Reshetikhin, Jasper Stokman, Bart Vlaar

Solutions to boundary quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations are constructed as bilateral sums involving "off-shell" Bethe vectors in case the reflection matrix is diagonal and o…
