Boundary \(K\)-matrices for the six vertex and the \(n(2n-1)A_{n-1}\) vertex models. (English) Zbl 0786.58020

Summary: Boundary conditions compatible with integrability are obtained for two- dimensional models by solving the factorizability equations for the reflection matrices \(K^ \pm(\theta)\). For the six vertex model the general solution depending on four arbitrary parameters is found. For the \(A_{n-1}\) models all diagonal solutions are found. The associated integrable magnetic Hamiltonians are explicitly derived.
