Abstract
Identifying integrable systems has been one of the central problems in rigorous statistical mechanics. In this talk, I will discuss a recent result [1] on the mathematical structure of integrability in quantum spin chains with finite-range interactions. We prove that the existence of a specific conservation law, known as the Reshetikhin condition, implies the presence of infinitely many local conserved quantities—that is, integrability. This result shows that the entire hierarchy of conservation laws associated with solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation is already encoded in the lowest nontrivial conservation law. Combined with recent progress on the absence of integrability in generic systems [2], I will also discuss the sharp boundary between integrable and nonintegrable quantum spin chains.
