Classical $N$-Reflection Equation and Gaudin Models

Vincent Caudrelier, Nicolas Crampe

TL;DR

The paper introduces the $N$-reflection equation as a broad generalization of the classical reflection equation, enabling new integrable boundary structures and a systematic construction of Gaudin-type models. By dressing a classical $r$-matrix with a solution $k$ of the $N$-reflection equation, it defines a non-skew dressed $\overline r$ that satisfies CYBE and yields a closed Poisson algebra for dressed Lax matrices $B(\lambda)$. The authors develop a Lax-pair formulation and identify generating functions in involution, leading to new classical Gaudin-type Hamiltonians, including $BC_L$-type, with explicit rational and trigonometric examples. A key feature is the use of Möbius transformations on the spectral parameter to generate novel solutions and nontrivial $\overline r$-matrices, expanding the landscape of integrable systems with generalized boundary conditions. The work lays groundwork for further quantization and dynamical generalizations while providing concrete models and explicit Hamiltonians that extend known Gaudin constructions.

Abstract

We introduce the notion of $N$-reflection equation which provides a large generalization of the usual classical reflection equation describing integrable boundary conditions. The latter is recovered as a special example of the $N=2$ case. The basic theory is established and illustrated with several examples of solutions of the $N$-reflection equation associated to the rational and trigonometric $r$-matrices. A central result is the construction of a Poisson algebra associated to a non skew-symmetric $r$-matrix whose form is specified by a solution of the $N$-reflection equation. Generating functions of quantities in involution can be identified within this Poisson algebra. As an application, we construct new classical Gaudin-type Hamiltonians, particular cases of which are Gaudin Hamiltonians of $BC_L$-type .

Classical $N$-Reflection Equation and Gaudin Models

TL;DR

The paper introduces the -reflection equation as a broad generalization of the classical reflection equation, enabling new integrable boundary structures and a systematic construction of Gaudin-type models. By dressing a classical -matrix with a solution of the -reflection equation, it defines a non-skew dressed that satisfies CYBE and yields a closed Poisson algebra for dressed Lax matrices . The authors develop a Lax-pair formulation and identify generating functions in involution, leading to new classical Gaudin-type Hamiltonians, including -type, with explicit rational and trigonometric examples. A key feature is the use of Möbius transformations on the spectral parameter to generate novel solutions and nontrivial -matrices, expanding the landscape of integrable systems with generalized boundary conditions. The work lays groundwork for further quantization and dynamical generalizations while providing concrete models and explicit Hamiltonians that extend known Gaudin constructions.

Key Result

Proposition 2.1

Suppose the $r$-matrix depends only on the difference of the spectral parameters and is skew-symmetric, taking $g^{(1)}(\nu)=-1$ and $\tau(\nu)=-\nu$, the classical 2-reflection equation eq:NRE2 becomes the usual classical reflection equation In the other well-known case where the $r$-matrix depends only on the quotient of the spectral parameters and is skew-symmetric, the choice $g^{(1)}(\nu)=-1
