A vertex model with parameters λ is called integrable, if for any pair μ, ν of values for the<br />

parameters there is a value λ such that the equation<br />

R 12 (λ)R 13 (μ)R 23 (ν) = R 23 (ν)R 13 (μ)R 12 (λ)<br />

(QYBE)<br />

holds in End (V ⊗ V ⊗ V ). A specific case is the quantum Yang-Baxter equation with spectral<br />

parameters:<br />

R 12 (λ − μ)R 13 (λ − ν)R 23 (μ − ν) = R 23 (μ − ν)R 13 (λ − ν)R 12 (λ − μ)<br />

Bialgebras are not enough to describe such a structure; Etingof and Varchenko have instead<br />

proposed algebroids.<br />

Lemma 4.3.2.<br />

Consider the tensor product V ⊗ V ⊗ V N and denote the index for the first copy of V by 0 and<br />

the index for the second copy of V by 0. Then the following equation holds in End (V ⊗V ⊗V N )<br />

R 00 (λ)T 0 (μ)T 0 (ν) = T 0 (ν)T 0 (μ)R 00 (λ) .<br />

Proof.<br />

We suppress spectral parameters and calculate:<br />

R 00 T 0 T 0 = R 00 R 01 R 02 . . . R 0N R 01 . . . R 0N<br />

= R 00 R 01 R 01 R 02 . . . R 0N R 02 . . . R 0N<br />

=<br />

(QYBE) R 01 R 01 R 00 R 02 . . . R 0N R 02 . . . R 0N<br />

Here, we first used that the endomorphisms R 0j and R 01 for j ≥ 2 act on different factors of<br />

the tensor product V ⊗ V ⊗ V N and thus commute. Then we applied the integrability equation<br />

(QYBE) on the indices 0, 0, 1. Repeating this N-times, we get<br />

= R 01 R 02 . . . R 0N R 01 . . . R 0N R 00<br />

= T 0 T 0 R 00<br />

✷<br />

Proposition 4.3.3.<br />

Suppose that for the integrable lattice model, the endomorphism R(λ) is invertible for all values<br />

λ of the parameters. Then the endomorphism<br />

commutes with C(μ) for all values λ, μ.<br />

C(λ) := Tr V T (λ) ∈ End (V ⊗N )<br />

We thus have a set of commuting endomorphisms which make the eigenproblem for any<br />

operator C(λ) more tractable, hence the name integrable.<br />

Proof.<br />
