Generalization of the Lieb–Thirring–Araki Inequality and Its Applications

The matrix eigenvalue is very important in matrix analysis, and it has been applied to matrix trace inequalities, such as the Lieb–Thirring–Araki theorem and Thompson–Golden theorem. In this manuscript, we obtain a matrix eigenvalue inequality by using the Stein–Hirschman operator interpolation inequality; then, according to the properties of exterior algebra and the Schur-convex function, we provide a new proof for the generalization of the Lieb–Thirring–Araki theorem and Furuta theorem.

Analytical solutions to some generalized and polynomial eigenvalue problems

It is well-known that the finite difference discretization of the Laplacian eigenvalue problem −Δu = λu leads to a matrix eigenvalue problem (EVP) Ax =λx where the matrix A is Toeplitz-plus-Hankel. Analytical solutions to tridiagonal matrices with various boundary conditions are given in a recent work of Strang and MacNamara. We generalize the results and develop analytical solutions to certain generalized matrix eigenvalue problems (GEVPs) Ax = λBx which arise from the finite element method (FEM) and isogeometric analysis (IGA). The FEM matrices are corner-overlapped block-diagonal while the IGA matrices are almost Toeplitz-plus-Hankel. In fact, IGA with a correction that results in Toeplitz-plus-Hankel matrices gives a better numerical method. In this paper, we focus on finding the analytical eigenpairs to the GEVPs while developing better numerical methods is our motivation. Analytical solutions are also obtained for some polynomial eigenvalue problems (PEVPs). Lastly, we generalize the eigenvector-eigenvalue identity (rediscovered and coined recently for EVPs) for GEVPs and derive some trigonometric identities.

Separation of variables bases for integrable $gl_{\mathcal{M}|\mathcal{N}}$ and Hubbard models

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.
