This article is a direct continuation of where we begun the study of the transfer matrix spectral problem for the cyclic representations of the trigonometric 6-vertex reflection algebra associated to the Bazhanov-Stroganov Lax operator. There we addressed this problem for the case where one of the KK-matrices describing the boundary conditions is triangular. In the present article we consider the most general integrable boundary conditions, namely the most general boundary KK-matrices satisfying the reflection equation. The spectral analysis is developed by implementing the method of Separation of Variables (SoV). We first design a suitable gauge transformation that enable us to put into correspondence the spectral problem for the most general boundary conditions with another one having one boundary KK-matrix in a triangular form. In these settings the SoV resolution can be obtained along an extension of the method described in . The transfer matrix spectrum is then completely characterized in terms of the set of solutions to a discrete system of polynomial equations in a given class of functions and equivalently as the set of solutions to an analogue of Baxter’s T-Q functional equation. We further describe scalar product properties of the separate states including eigenstates of the transfer matrix.

We study the transfer matrix spectral problem for the cyclic representations of the trigonometric 6-vertex reflection algebra associated to the Bazanov-Stroganov Lax operator. The results apply as well to the spectral analysis of the lattice sine-Gordon model with integrable open boundary conditions. This spectral analysis is developed by implementing the method of separation of variables (SoV). The transfer matrix spectrum (both eigenvalues and eigenstates) is completely characterized in terms of the set of solutions to a discrete system of polynomial equations in a given class of functions. Moreover, we prove an equivalent characterization as the set of solutions to a Baxter’s like T-Q functional equation and rewrite the transfer matrix eigenstates in an algebraic Bethe ansatz form. In order to explain our method in a simple case, the present paper is restricted to representations containing one constraint on the boundary parameters and on the parameters of the Bazanov-Stroganov Lax operator. In a next article, some more technical tools (like Baxter’s gauge transformations) will be introduced to extend our approach to general integrable boundary conditions.

We describe the extension, beyond fundamental representations of the Yang-Baxter algebra, of our new construction of separation of variables bases for quantum integrable lattice models. The key idea underlying our approach is to use the commuting conserved charges of the quantum integrable models to generate bases in which their spectral problem is separated, i.e. in which the wave functions are factorized in terms of specific solutions of a functional equation. For the so-called “non-fundamental” models we construct two different types of SoV bases. The first is given from the fundamental quantum Lax operator having isomorphic auxiliary and quantum spaces and that can be obtained by fusion of the original quantum Lax operator. The construction essentially follows the one we used previously for fundamental models and allows us to derive the simplicity and diagonalizability of the transfer matrix spectrum. Then, starting from the original quantum Lax operator and using the full tower of the fused transfer matrices, we introduce a second type of SoV bases for which the proof of the separation of the transfer matrix spectrum is naturally derived. We show that, under some special choice, this second type of SoV bases coincides with the one associated to Sklyanin’s approach. Moreover, we derive the finite difference type (quantum spectral curve) functional equation and the set of its solutions defining the complete transfer matrix spectrum. This is explicitly implemented for the integrable quantum models associated to the higher spin representations of the general quasi-periodic Y(gl_{2})Y(gl2) Yang-Baxter algebra. Our SoV approach also leads to the construction of a QQ-operator in terms of the fused transfer matrices. Finally, we show that the QQ-operator family can be equivalently used as the family of commuting conserved charges enabling to construct our SoV bases.

We construct quantum Separation of Variables (SoV) bases for both the fundamental inhomogeneous % gl_{\mathcal{M}|\mathcal{N}}glℳ|𝒩 supersymmetric integrable models and for the inhomogeneous Hubbard model both defined with quasi-periodic twisted boundary conditions given by twist matrices having simple spectrum. The SoV bases are obtained by using the integrable structure of these quantum models, i.e. the associated commuting transfer matrices, following the general scheme introduced in [1]; namely, they are given by set of states generated by the multiple actions of the transfer matrices on a generic co-vector. The existence of such SoV bases implies that the corresponding transfer matrices have non-degenerate spectrum and that they are diagonalizable with simple spectrum if the twist matrices defining the quasi-periodic boundary conditions have that property. Moreover, in these SoV bases the resolution of the transfer matrix eigenvalue problem leads to the resolution of the full spectral problem, i.e. both eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Indeed, to any eigenvalue is associated the unique (up to a trivial overall normalization) eigenvector whose wave-function in the SoV bases is factorized into products of the corresponding transfer matrix eigenvalue computed on the spectrum of the separated variables. As an application, we characterize completely the transfer matrix spectrum in our SoV framework for the fundamental gl_{1|2}gl1|2 supersymmetric integrable model associated to a special class of twist matrices. From these results we also prove the completeness of the Bethe Ansatz for that case. The complete solution of the spectral problem for fundamental inhomogeneous gl_{\mathcal{M}|\mathcal{N}}glℳ|𝒩 supersymmetric integrable models and for the inhomogeneous Hubbard model under the general twisted boundary conditions will be addressed in a future publication.

Matrix Spectrum

We apply our new approach of quantum Separation of Variables (SoV) to the complete characterization of the transfer matrix spectrum of quantum integrable lattice models associated to \bm{gl_n}𝐠𝐥𝐧-invariant \bm{R}𝐑-matrices in the fundamental representations. We consider lattices with \bm{N}𝐍-sites and general quasi-periodic boundary conditions associated to an arbitrary twist matrix \bm{K}𝐊 having simple spectrum (but not necessarily diagonalizable). In our approach the SoV basis is constructed in an universal manner starting from the direct use of the conserved charges of the models, e.g. from the commuting family of transfer matrices. Using the integrable structure of the models, incarnated in the hierarchy of transfer matrices fusion relations, we prove that our SoV basis indeed separates the spectrum of the corresponding transfer matrices. Moreover, the combined use of the fusion rules, of the known analytic properties of the transfer matrices and of the SoV basis allows us to obtain the complete characterization of the transfer matrix spectrum and to prove its simplicity. Any transfer matrix eigenvalue is completely characterized as a solution of a so-called quantum spectral curve equation that we obtain as a difference functional equation of order \bm{n}𝐧. Namely, any eigenvalue satisfies this equation and any solution of this equation having prescribed properties that we give leads to an eigenvalue. We construct the associated eigenvector, unique up to normalization, of the transfer matrices by computing its decomposition on the SoV basis that is of a factorized form written in terms of the powers of the corresponding eigenvalues. Finally, if the twist matrix \bm{K}𝐊 is diagonalizable with simple spectrum we prove that the transfer matrix is also diagonalizable with simple spectrum. In that case, we give a construction of the Baxter \bm{Q}𝐐-operator and show that it satisfies a \bm{T}𝐓-\bm{Q}𝐐 equation of order \bm{n}𝐧, the quantum spectral curve equation, involving the hierarchy of the fused transfer matrices.

Abstract The wave-mode representation is utilized to obtain a more efficient form to the conventional transfer matrix method for bending vibrations of beams. The proposed improvement is based on a phase-variable canonical state representation of the equation governing the time-harmonic flexural vibrations of a beam. Transfer matrices are obtained for external forces, step-change of beam properties, intermediate supports and for boundaries. The transfer matrices are utilized to obtain the vibration response of a point-excited single-span beam with general boundary conditions. The general characteristic equation and the transfer mobility of a single-span beam are determined. The application of the analytical results are demonstrated on physical structures with different boundary conditions. A hybrid model is developed to incorporate measured impedance of nonideal boundaries into the transfer matrix method. The analytical results are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental measurements.

We present an introduction to modern theories of interfacial fluctuations and the associated interfacial parameters: surface tension and surface stiffness, as well as their interpretation within the capillary wave model. Transfer matrix spectrum properties due to fluctuation of an interface in a long-cylinder geometry are reviewed. The roughening transition and properties of rigid interfaces below the roughening temperature in 3d lattice models are surveyed with emphasis on differences in fluctuations and transfer matrix spectral properties of rigid vs. rough interfaces.
