TL;DR: In this paper, the quantum inverse method for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger model is introduced and shown to be an algebraization of the Bethe Ansatz technique, which is used to define nonlocal operators which are functionals of the original local field on a fixed-time string of arbitrary length.
Abstract: The properties of exactly integrable two-dimensional quantum systems are reviewed and discussed. The nature of exact integrability as a physical phenomenon and various aspects of the mathematical formalism are explored by discussing several examples, including detailed treatments of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (delta-function gas) model, the massive Thirring model, and the six-vertex (ice) model. The diagonalization of a Hamiltonian by Bethe's Ansatz is illustrated for the nonlinear Schr\"od\'{\i}nger model, and the integral equation method of Lieb for obtaining the spectrum of the many-body system from periodic boundary conditions is reviewed. Similar methods are applied to the massive Thirring model, where the fermion-antifermion and bound-state spectrum are obtained explicitly by the integral equation method. After a brief review of the classical inverse scattering method, the quantum inverse method for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger model is introduced and shown to be an algebraization of the Bethe Ansatz technique. In the quantum inverse method, an auxiliary linear problem is used to define nonlocal operators which are functionals of the original local field on a fixed-time string of arbitrary length. The particular operators for which the string is infinitely long (free boundary conditions) or forms a closed loop around a cylinder (periodic boundary conditions) correspond to the quantized scattering data and have a special significance. One of them creates the Bethe eigenstates, while the other is the generating function for an infinite number of conservation laws. The analogous operators on a lattice are constructed for the symmetric six-vertex model, where the object which corresponds to a solution of the auxiliary linear problem is a string of vertices contracted over horizontal links (arrows). The relationship between the quantum inverse method and the transfer matrix formalism is exhibited. The inverse Gel'fand-Levitan transform which expresses the local field operator as a functional of the quantized scattering data is formulated for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, and some interesting properties of this transformation are noted, including its reduction to a Jordan-Wigner transformation in the limit of infinitely repulsive coupling.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the construction of families of first integrals in involution for Hamiltonian systems which are invariant under the Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G is presented.
Abstract: A method is exposed which allows the construction of families of first integrals in involution for Hamiltonian systems which are invariant under the Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G. This is applied to invariant Hamiltonian systems on the tangent bundles of certain homogeneous spaces M = G/K. It is proved, for example, that every such invariant Hamiltonian system is completely integrable if M is a real or complex Grassmannian manifold or SU(n + 1)/SO(n + 1) or a distance sphere in ℂPn+1. In particular, the geodesic flows of these homogeneous spaces are integrable.

TL;DR: In this article, the self-duality equations in the specific case of potentials independent of one of the coordinates are reduced to a relativistic-invariant system in the (2-1)-dimensional space-time.
Abstract: In the space-time with signature (2,2) the self-duality equations in the specific case of potentials independent of one of the coordinates are reduced to a relativistic-invariant system in the (2-1)-dimensional space-time. A general solution of this system is constructed by means of IST. A soliton solution, finite in all directions, is discussed. It is found that there is no classical scattering of both solitons and continuous spectrum waves.

Abstract: A symplectic structure for stationary Lax equations of the type [L, P]=0 is constructed, whereL is a matrix differential operator of the first order. It is shown that the equation has a sufficient for the complete integrability amount of first integrals in involution. The well-known linearization of the equation by the Abelian mapping is obtained in a natural manner in consequent exercising of Liouville's procedure.

The solution of the factorization equation in dimension three, which can be expressed in terms of elliptic functions and contains two free parameters, is utilized for the construction of a commuting family of transfer matrices for a 21-vertex lattice model in statistical mechanics, as well as construction of a quantum Hamiltonian for an integrable chain of spin-1 particles with anisotropic interaction.

Abstract: A family of complete integrable three-dimensional N-body quantum systems is introduced and completely solved by the dynamical algebras O(3N+1,2) and their representations. In a particular realisation of these algebras the particles interact by N-body 'Coulomb-type' potentials. A complete set of commuting integrals of motions, their spectra, the energy levels for both discrete and continuous spectra and their degeneracy have been explicitly determined. Relativistic generalisations and applications are briefly discussed.

Abstract: A new family of completely integrable infinite‐dimensional Hamiltonian systems is found. Two canonical maps are deduced which transform this family into the families of Hamiltonian systems associated with the generalized Zakharov–Shabat and energy‐dependent Schrodinger operators. Through these maps several relevant Hamiltonian structures are connected. In particular, a simple explanation of the second Hamiltonian structure for AKNS equations is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the Kirkwood-Salsburg and the Mayer-Montroll equations for an arbitrary stable interaction for the case of an exponentially integrable external potential (of which a finite volume is a special case).
Abstract: The Kirkwood-Salsburg and the Mayer-Montroll equations for an arbitrary stable interaction are derived for the case of an exponentially integrable external potential (of which a finite volume is a special case). It is shown that the Mayer-Montroll equation has at least one solution (the equilibrium state) if the activity z is such that the grand canonical partition function Ξ( z ) is nonzero; also, there is at least one eigenvector with eigenvalue 1 for z such that Ξ( z ) = 0. The difference with the Kirkwood-Salsburg equation lies in the possibility of more solutions, as is shown by an example.
