On Separation of Variables for Homogeneous SL(r) Gaudin Systems

By means of a recently introduced bihamiltonian structure for the homogeneous Gaudin models, we find a new set of Separation Coordinates for the sl(r) case.      

The Open Boundary Dynamical Elliptic Quantum Gaudin Model and Its Solution

We construct the Hamiltonians of open elliptic quantum Gaudin model and show its relation with the open boundary elliptic quantum group. We define eigenstates of the model to be Bethe vectors with η=0 of the boundary elliptic quantum group. Then, the Hamiltonian is exactly diagonalized by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method.     

Elliptic Gaudin models and elliptic KZ equations

The Gaudin models based on the face-type elliptic quantum groups and the XYZ Gaudin models are studied. The Gaudin model Hamiltonians are constructed and are diagonalized by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. The corresponding face-type Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations and their solutions are given.     

Generating Function of Correlators in the sl2 Gaudin Model

An exponential generating function of correlators is calculated explicitly for the sl2 Gaudin model (degenerated quantum integrable XXX spin chain). The calculation relies on the Gauss decomposition for the SL(2) loop group. A new explicit expression for the correlators is derived from the generating function, from which the determinant formulas for the norms of Bethe eigenfunctions due to Richardson and Gaudin are obtained.     

Rational SU(3) Gaudin Model

The Hamiltonians of the SU(3) Gaudin model are constructed based on the nonrelativistic limit of the SU(3) chain.After the quantum determinant being well defined,the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonians of the SU(3) Geudin model are given.These results can be generalized to any number of constituting spins (SU(N)).     

Separation of Variables for the Ruijsenaars System

We construct a separation of variables for the classical n-particle Ruijsenaars system (the relativistic analog of the elliptic Calogero-Moser system). The separated coordinates appear as the poles of the properly normalised eigenvector (Baker-Akhiezer function) of the corresponding Lax matrix. Two different normalisations of the BA functions are analysed. The canonicity of the separated variables is verified with the use of the r-matrix technique. The explicit expressions for the generating function of the separating canonical transform are given in the simplest cases n=2 and n=3. Taking the nonrelativistic limit we also construct a separation of variables for the elliptic Calogero-Moser system. Received: 10 January 1997 / Accepted: 1 April 1997     

Spectral Duality Between Heisenberg Chain and Gaudin Model

In our recent paper we described relationships between integrable systems inspired by the AGT conjecture. On the gauge theory side an integrable spin chain naturally emerges while on the conformal field theory side one obtains some special reduced Gaudin model. Two types of integrable systems were shown to be related by the spectral duality. In this paper we extend the spectral duality to the case of higher spin chains. It is proved that the N-site GL _k Heisenberg chain is dual to the special reduced k + 2-points gl _N Gaudin model. Moreover, we construct an explicit Poisson map between the models at the classical level by performing the Dirac reduction procedure and applying the AHH duality transformation.     

Separation of Variables for Symplectic Characters

We perform separation of variables for the symplectic Weyl character using Sklyanin’s scheme. Viewing the characters as eigenfunctions of a quantum integrable system, we explicitly construct the separating operator using the Q-operator method. We also construct the inverse of the separating operator, as well as the factorised Hamiltonian.     

Separation of Variables for Bi-Hamiltonian Systems

We address the problem of the separation of variables for the Hamilton–Jacobi equation within the theoretical scheme of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We use the properties of a special class of bi-Hamiltonian manifolds, called N manifolds, to give intrisic tests of separability (and Stäckel separability) for Hamiltonian systems. The separation variables are naturally associated with the geometrical structures of the N manifold itself. We apply these results to bi-Hamiltonian systems of the Gel'fand–Zakharevich type and we give explicit procedures to find the separated coordinates and the separation relations.     

Bethe Vectors of the osp(1|2) Gaudin Model

The eigenvectors of the osp(1|2) invariant Gaudin Hamiltonians are found using explicitly constructed creation operators. Commutation relations between the creation operators and the generators of the loop superalgebra are calculated. The coordinate representation of the Bethe states is presented. The relation between the Bethe vectors and solutions to the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation yields the norm of the eigenvectors.     

Gaudin Model,KZ Equation and an Isomonodromic Problem on the Tours

This Letter presents a construction of isospectral problems on the torus. The construction starts from an SU(n) version of the XYZ Gaudin model recently studied by Kuroki and Takebe within the context of a twisted WZW model. In the classical limit, the quantum Hamiltonians of the generalized Gaudin model turn into classical Hamiltonians with a natural r-matrix structure. These Hamiltonians are used to build a nonautonomous multi-time Hamiltonian system, which is eventually shown to be an isomonodromic problem on the torus. This isomonodromic problem can also be reproduced from an elliptic analogue of the KZ equation for the twisted WZW model. Finally, a geometric interpretation of this isomonodromic problem is discussed in the language of a moduli space of meromorphic connections.     

Spectral Simplicity and Asymptotic Separation of Variables

We describe a method for comparing the spectra of two real-analytic families, (a _t ) and (q _t ), of quadratic forms that both degenerate as a positive parameter t tends to zero. We suppose that the family (a _t ) is amenable to ‘separation of variables’ and that each eigenspace of a _t is 1-dimensional for some t. We show that if (q _t ) is asymptotic to (a _t ) at first order as t → 0, then the eigenspaces of (q _t ) are also 1-dimensional for all but countably many t. As an application, we prove that for the generic triangle (simplex) in Euclidean space (constant curvature space form) each eigenspace of the Laplacian acting on Dirichlet functions is 1-dimensional.     

Continuum Limit of the Volterra Model, Separation of Variables and Non-Standard Realizations of the Virasoro Poisson Bracket

The classical Volterra model, equipped with the Faddeev-Takhtajan Poisson bracket provides a lattice version of the Virasoro algebra. The Volterra model being integrable, we can express the dynamical variables in terms of the so-called separated variables. Taking the continuum limit of these formulae, we obtain the Virasoro generators written as determinants of infinite matrices, the elements of which are constructed with a set of points lying on an infinite genus Riemann surface. The coordinates of these points are separated variables for an infinite set of Poisson commuting quantities including L ₀. The scaling limit of the eigenvector can also be calculated explicitly, so that the associated Schroedinger equation is in fact exactly solvable.     

Second Quantization of the Elliptic Calogero-Sutherland Model

We construct a quantum field theory model of anyons on a circle and at finite temperature. We find an anyon Hamiltonian providing a second quantization of the elliptic Calogero-Sutherland model. This allows us to prove a remarkable identity which is a starting point for an algorithm to construct eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the elliptic Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian.Work supported by the Swedish Natural Science Research Council (NFR).

Quantum dynamics of Gaudin magnets

Quantum dynamics of many-body systems is a fascinating and significant subject for both theory and experiment. The question of how an isolated many-body system evolves to its steady state after a sudden perturbation or quench still remains challenging. In this paper, using the Bethe ansatz wave function, we study the quantum dynamics of an inhomogeneous Gaudin magnet. We derive explicit analytical expressions for various local dynamic quantities with an arbitrary number of flipped bath spins, such as: the spin distribution function, the spin–spin correlation function, and the Loschmidt echo. We also numerically study the relaxation behavior of these dynamic properties, gaining considerable insight into coherence and entanglement between the central spin and the bath. In particular, we find that the spin–spin correlations relax to their steady value via a nearly logarithmic scaling, whereas the Loschmidt echo shows an exponential relaxation to its steady value. Our results advance the understanding of relaxation dynamics and quantum correlations of long-range interacting models of the Gaudin type.
