Quantized Lax equations and their solutions (Q1360333)

The authors formulate a quantum version of the factorization theorem for the solution to the Heisenberg equations of motions of a quantum integrable system. They present the construction of a quantum dynamical system on a dual quasitriangular Hopf algebra \(F\) with the Hamiltonian \(h\) taken as an arbitrary co-commutative function on \(F\) and give its Lax pair formulation. Then they introduce a larger quantum dynamical system on the corresponding Heisenberg double \(D_H\), with a simple time evolution, such that the original quantum dynamical system can be identified with a restriction of it. The main result is related to the decomposition of the element \(g(t)\) describing the time evolution of the dynamical system on the quantum group as a product of two solutions of some appropriate equations. These solutions are involved in in the expression of the solution of the quantum Lax equation associated to the Hamilton equations. Moreover, the authors obtain a similar solution for the chain Lax equation.
