We study a recently proposed quantum integrable model defined on a lattice with N sites, with Fermions or Bosons populating each site, as a close relative of the well known spin-1/2 Gaudin model. This model has 2N arbitrary parameters, a linear dependence on an interaction type parameter x, and can be solved exactly. It has N known constants of motion that are linear in x. We display further constants of motion with higher Fermion content, that are are linearly independent of the known conservation laws. Our main result is that despite the existence of these higher conservation laws, the model has only N functionally independent conservation laws. Therefore we propose that N can be viewed as the number of degrees of freedom, in parallel to the classical definition of integrability.

We present an exactly-solvable $p$-wave pairing model for two bosonic species. The model is solvable in any spatial dimension and shares some commonalities with the $p + ip$ Richardson-Gaudin fermionic model, such as a third order quantum phase transition. However, contrary to the fermionic case, in the bosonic model the transition separates a gapless fragmented singlet pair condensate from a pair Bose superfluid, and the exact eigenstate at the quantum critical point is a pair condensate analogous to the fermionic Moore-Read state.
One dimensional systems sometimes show pathologically slow decay of currents. This robustness can be traced to the fact that an integrable model is nearby in parameter space. In integrable models some part of the current can be conserved, explaining this slow decay. Unfortunately, although this conservation law is formally anticipated, in practice it has been difficult to find in concrete cases, such as the Heisenberg model. We investigate this issue both analytically and numerically and find that the appropriate conservation law can be a non-analytic combination of the known local conservation laws and hence is invisible to elementary assumptions.
Kitaevs quantum double model is a family of exactly solvable lattice models that realize two dimensional topological phases of matter. Originally it is based on finite groups, and is later generalized to semi-simple Hopf algebras. We rigorously define and study ribbon operators in the generalized Kitaev quantum double model. These ribbon operators are important tools to understand quasi-particle excitations. It turns out that there are some subtleties in defining the operators in contrast to what one would naively think. In particular, one has to distinguish two classes of ribbons which we call locally clockwise and locally counterclockwise ribbons. Moreover, this issue already exists in the original model based on finite non-Abelian groups. We show how certain properties would fail even in the original model if we do not distinguish these two classes of ribbons. Perhaps not surprisingly, under the new definitions ribbon operators satisfy all properties that are expected. For instance, they create quasi-particle excitations only at the end of the ribbon, and the types of the quasi-particles correspond to irreducible representations of the Drinfeld double of the input Hopf algebra. However, the proofs of these properties are much more complicated than those in the case of finite groups. This is partly due to the complications in dealing with general Hopf algebras rather than just group algebras.
We employ the interaction distance to characterise the physics of a one-dimensional extended XXZ spin model, whose phase diagram consists of both integrable and non-integrable regimes, with various types of ordering, e.g., a gapless Luttinger liquid and gapped crystalline phases. We numerically demonstrate that the interaction distance successfully reveals the known behaviour of the model in its integrable regime. As an additional diagnostic tool, we introduce the notion of integrability distance and particularise it to the XXZ model in order to quantity how far the ground state of the extended XXZ model is from being integrable. This distance provides insight into the properties of the gapless Luttinger liquid phase in the presence of next-nearest neighbour spin interactions which break integrability.
Quantum deformations of the structure constants for a class of associative noncommutative algebras are studied. It is shown that these deformations are governed by the quantum central systems which has a geometrical meaning of vanishing Riemann curvature tensor for Christoffel symbols identified with the structure constants. A subclass of isoassociative quantum deformations is described by the oriented associativity equation and, in particular, by the WDVV equation. It is demonstrated that a wider class of weakly (non)associative quantum deformations is connected with the integrable soliton equations too. In particular, such deformations for the three-dimensional and infinite-dimensional algebras are described by the Boussinesq equation and KP hierarchy, respectively.
