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…
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…
Combinatorial solutions to the reflection equation
Agata Smoktunowicz, Leandro Vendramin, Robert Weston
We use ring-theoretic methods and methods from the theory of skew braces to produce set-theoretic solutions to the reflection equation. We also use set-theoretic solutions to const…
Lattice Supersymmetry in the Open XXZ Model: An Algebraic Bethe Ansatz Analysis
Robert Weston, Junye Yang
We reconsider the open XXZ chain of Yang and Fendley. This model possesses a lattice supersymmetry which changes the length of the chain by one site. We perform an algebraic Bethe…
Conserved Currents in the Six-Vertex and Trigonometric Solid-On-Solid Models
Yacine Ikhlef, Robert Weston
We construct quasi-local conserved currents in the six-vertex model with anisotropy parameter by making use of the quantum-group approach of Bernard and Felder. From these curr…
Theta function solutions of the qKZB equation for a face model
Peter E. Finch, Robert Weston, Paul Zinn-Justin
We consider the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equation for a face model with elliptic weights, the SOS model. We provide explicit solutions as theta functions. On the so-c…
