Abstract: We consider the N-site U_{q}(gl(N)) integrable spin chain with periodic and open diagonal soliton-preserving boundary conditions. By employing analytical Bethe ansatz techniques we are able to determine the spectrum and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations for the general case, where each site of the spin chain is associated to any representation of U_{q}(gl(N)). In the case of open spin chain, we study finite dimensional representations of the quantum reflection algebra, and prove in full generality that the pseudo-vacuum is a highest weight of the monodromy matrix. For these two types of spin chain, we study the (generalized) "algebraic" fusion procedures, which amount to construct the quantum contraction and the Sklyanin determinant for the affine U_{q}(gl(N)) and quantum reflection algebras. We also determine the symmetry algebra of these two types of spin chains, including general K and K^+ diagonal matrices for the open case. The case of open spin chains with soliton non-preserving boundary conditions is also presented in the framework of quantum twisted Yangians. The symmetry algebra of this spin chains is studied. We also give an exhaustive classification of the invertible matricial solutions to the corresponding reflection equation.


In the paper a \(N\)-site \(U_q(\text{gl}(N))\) integrable spin chain with periodic and open diagonal soliton-preserving boundary conditions is studied. The main results of the paper are: (i) the algebraic structures which are needed for the study of spin chains models are introduced. They consist in the quantum affine algebra and the quantum reflection algebra, both of them based on the \((\text{gl}(N))\) algebra. The irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the quantum reflection algebra are considered and those of the quantum reflection algebra is studied; (ii) the spin chains associated to the algebraic structures (i.e. closed spin chains for quantum affine algebra and the soliton preserving open spin chain for the quantum reflection algebra) are constructed. Their spectrum, through the use of the analytical Bethe ansatz is obtained; (iii) the quantum twisted Yangian which is associated to the soliton non-preserving boundary is studied. The symmetry algebra of this spin chains is studied. An exhaustive classification of the invertible matricial solutions to the corresponding reflection equation is given.
