Yang-baxter Equation In Integrable Systems

by Michio Jimbo

Overview

This volume will be the first reference book devoted specially to the Yang-Baxter equation. The subject relates to broad areas including solvable models in statistical mechanics, factorized S matrices, quantum inverse scattering method, quantum groups, knot theory and conformal field theory. The articles assembled here cover major works from the pioneering papers to classical Yang-Baxter equation, its quantization, variety of solutions, constructions and recent generalizations to higher genus solutions.

Editorial Reviews

A collection of reprints related to the Yang-Baxter equation (also called the star-triangle relation, the triangle equation, and the factorization equation). The papers are grouped into seven sections, each headed by a brief guide about their contents and related works: pioneering works; classical Yang-Baxter equation; quantum groups; variety of solutions--quantization; variety of solutions--IRF models and others; miscellaneous topics; and generalizations. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
