Q-operators for the open Heisenberg spin chain. (English) Zbl 1332.82014

Summary: We construct Q-operators for the open spin-\(\frac{1}{2}\) XXX Heisenberg spin chain with diagonal boundary matrices. The Q-operators are defined as traces over an infinite-dimensional auxiliary space involving novel types of reflection operators derived from the boundary Yang-Baxter equation. We argue that the Q-operators defined in this way are polynomials in the spectral parameter and show that they commute with transfer matrix. Finally, we prove that the Q-operators satisfy Baxter’s TQ-equation and derive the explicit form of their eigenvalues in terms of the Bethe roots.
