There is a decomposition of a Lie algebra for open matrix chains akin to the triangular decomposition. We use this decomposition to construct unitary irreducible representations. All multiple meson states can be retrieved this way. Moreover, they are the only states with a finite number of non-zero quantum numbers with respect to a certain set of maximally commuting linearly independent quantum observables. Any other state is a tensor product of a multiple meson state and a state coming from a representation of a quotient algebra that extends and generalizes the Virasoro algebra. We expect the representation theory of this quotient algebra to describe physical systems at the thermodynamic limit.
Let $K$ be a simply connected compact Lie group and $T^{ast}(K)$ its cotangent bundle. We consider the problem of quantization commutes with reduction for the adjoint action of $K$ on $T^{ast}(K).$ We quantize both $T^{ast}(K)$ and the reduced phase space using geometric quantization with half-forms. We then construct a geometrically natural map from the space of invariant elements in the quantization of $T^{ast}(K)$ to the quantization of the reduced phase space. We show that this map is a constant multiple of a unitary map.
We describe how to define observables analogous to quantum fields for the semicontinuous limit recently introduced by Jones in the study of unitary representations of Thompsons groups $F$ and $T$. We find that, in terms of correlation functions of these fields, one can deduce quantities resembling the conformal data, i.e., primary fields, scaling dimensions, and the operator product expansion. Examples coming from quantum spin systems and anyon chains built on the trivalent category $mathit{SO}(3)_q$ are studied.
The analysis of the transfer matrices associated to the most general representations of the 8-vertex reflection algebra on spin-1/2 chains is here implemented by introducing a quantum separation of variables (SOV) method which generalizes to these integrable quantum models the method first introduced by Sklyanin. More in detail, for the representations reproducing in their homogeneous limits the open XYZ spin-1/2 quantum chains with the most general integrable boundary conditions, we explicitly construct representations of the 8-vertex reflection algebras for which the transfer matrix spectral problem is separated. Then, in these SOV representations we get the complete characterization of the transfer matrix spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates) and its non-degeneracy. Moreover, we present the first fundamental step toward the characterization of the dynamics of these models by deriving determinant formulae for the matrix elements of the identity on separated states, which apply in particular to transfer matrix eigenstates. The comparison of our analysis for the 8-vertex reflection algebra with that of [1, 2] for the 6-vertex one leads to the interesting remark that a profound similarity in both the characterization of the spectral problems and of the scalar products exists for these two different realizations of the reflection algebra once they are described by SOV method. As it will be shown in a future publication, this remarkable similarity will be at the basis of the simultaneous determination of form factors of local operators of integrable quantum models associated to general reflection algebra representations of both 8-vertex and 6-vertex type.
We give a proof of universality in the bulk of spectrum of unitary matrix models, assuming that the potential is globally $C^{2}$ and locally $C^{3}$ function. The proof is based on the determinant formulas for correlation functions in terms of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. We do not use asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials. We obtain the $sin$-kernel as a unique solution of a certain non-linear integro-differential equation.
In this paper, conjugate-linear anti-involutions and unitary Harish-Chandra modules over the Schr{o}dinger-Virasoro algebra are studied. It is proved that there are only two classes conjugate-linear anti-involutions over the Schr{o}dinger-Virasoro algebra. The main result of this paper is that a unitary Harish-Chandra module over the Schr{o}dinger-Virasoro algebra is simply a unitary Harish-Chandra module over the Virasoro algebra.
