Factorizing particles on a half-line and root systems (Q1064421)

The paper studies a factorized scattering of particles of N different species \(A_ 1,...,A_ N\), in which all the particles have equal masses and both the total number of particles and sets of individual momenta are conserved in collisions. Generalized factorization equations are obtained, and an analog of Yang's S-matrix (for an arbitrary root system) and Belavin's S-matrix (for an arbitrary number of different particle species on a half-line) with elliptic dependence on the rapidities are constructed. The paper ends with the general definition of factorizability for an arbitrary group G.
