Opers for higher states of the quantum Boussinesq model (Q2658240)

The quantum Boussinesq model introduced in [\textit{V. V. Bazhanov} et al., Nucl. Phys., B 622, No. 3, 475--547 (2002; Zbl 0983.81088)] is a two-dimensional conformal field system with a \(W_3\) symmetry. It can be exactly solved via the Bethe Ansatz equations. Here the authors study the ODE/IM correspondence for all states of the quantum Boussinesq model. A particular class of third-order linear ordinary differential operators is considered and it is shown that the generalised monodromy data of such operators provide solutions to the Bethe Ansatz equations of the quantum Boussinesq model. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1459.00016].
