We construct an open quantum spin chain from the “twisted” [Formula: see text]R matrix in the fundamental representation which has the quantum algebra symmetry Uq[ su (2)]. This anisotropic spin-1 chain is different from the Uq[ su (2)]-invariant chain constructed from the “untwisted” [Formula: see text] spin-1 R matrix (namely, the spin-1 XXZ chain of Fateev-Zamolodchikov with boundary terms) but, nevertheless, is also completely integrable. We discuss the general case of an R matrix of the type g(k), where k∈{1, 2, 3}, and g is any simple Lie algebra.

Abstract We investigate the effect of introducing a boundary inhomogeneity in the transfer matrix of an integrable open quantum spin chain. We find that it is possible to construct a local Hamiltonian, and to have quantum group symmetry. The boundary inhomogeneity has a profound effect on the Bethe ansatz solution.

We consider a series of N-state L(≥N) site quantum spin chains, characterised by the ordered partition of N into 2 parts, N=P+M. These (P/M) chains are invariant under an action of UqSU(P/M), and are built from a representation of the Hecke algebra HL-1(q). We establish that the intersection of the spectra of a (P/M) and (P'/M') chain of fixed length L is the spectrum of the (min(P,P')/min(M,M')) chain of that length. We establish that the spectrum of the (P/M) chain breaks into blocks corresponding to irreducible representations of HL-1(q) (or equivalently irreducible representations of UqSU(P/M)) characterised by Young diagrams with no rectangular subdiagrams of dimension (P+1)×(M+1) (height × width resp.). We give the corresponding quotient relations for the Hecke algebra. We discuss several implications of these results.

We propose an expression for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix for the Uq(Bn)-invariant open quantum spin chain associated with the fundamental representation of [Formula: see text] By assumption, the Bethe ansatz equations are “doubled” with respect to those of the corresponding closed chain with periodic boundary conditions. We verify that the transfer matrix eigenvalues have the correct analyticity properties and asymptotic behavior. We also briefly discuss the structure of the eigenstates of the transfer matrix.

Abstract A new nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) describing the thermodynamics of the Heisenberg spin chain is derived based on the t − W relation of the quantum transfer matrices. The free energy of the system in a magnetic field is thus obtained by solving the NLIE. This method can be generalized to other lattice quantum integrable models. Taking the SU(3)-invariant quantum spin chain as an example, we construct the corre- sponding NLIEs and compute the free energy. The present results coincide exactly with those obtained via other methods previously.
