The solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation for the $(n+1)(2n+1)$-vertex models through a differential approach

Abstract

The formal derivatives of the Yang-Baxter equation with respect to its spectral parameters, evaluated at some fixed point of these parameters, provide us with two systems of dierential equations. The derivatives of the R matrix elements, however, can be regarded as independent variables and eliminated from the systems, after which two systems of polynomial equations are obtained in place. In general, these polynomial systems have a non-zero Hilbert dimension, which means that not all elements of the R matrix can be fixed through them. Nevertheless, the remaining unknowns can be found by solving a few number of simple differential equations that arise as consistency conditions of the method. The branches of the solutions can also be easily analyzed by this method, which ensures the uniqueness and generality of the solutions. In this work we considered the Yang-Baxter equation for the (n + 1)(2n + 1)-vertex models with a generalization based on the An−1 symmetry. This differential approach allowed us to solve the Yang-Baxter equation in a systematic way. .
