Open quantum Toda chain
Quantum integrable models are ubiquitous both in Mathematics and in Theoretical Physics. The aim of this course is to introduce and illustrate on the typical example of the quantum Toda chain the framework of the theory of quantum integrable systems: Yang-Baxter equations, commuting transfer matrices, Q-operators, iterative construction of eigenfunctions. Most of these techniques are based on the use of integral R-operators -- the general solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. The useful technique for the work with these operators is the technique of Feynman diagrams.
Keywords: quantum integrable models, Yang-Baxter equation, Q-operators, integral transformations, Feynman diagrams.
Keywords: quantum integrable models, Yang-Baxter equation, Q-operators, integral transformations, Feynman diagrams.
