It is known that the local Yang--Baxter equation is a generator of potential solutions to Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation. In this paper, we show under which additional conditions the solutions to the local Yang--Baxter equation are tetrahedron maps, namely solutions to the set-theoretical tetrahedron equation. This is exceptionally useful when one wants to prove that noncommutative maps satisfy the Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation. We construct new noncommutative maps and we prove that they possess the tetrahedron property. Moreover, by employing Darboux transformations with noncommutative variables, we derive noncommutative tetrahedron maps. In particular, we derive a noncommutative nonlinear Schrödinger type of tetrahedron map which can be restricted to a noncommutative version of Sergeev's map on invariant leaves. We prove that these maps are tetrahedron maps.
This paper is devoted to tetrahedron maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation. We construct a family of tetrahedron maps on associative rings. We show that matrix tetrahedron maps presented in [arXiv:2110.05998] are a particular case of our construction. This provides an algebraic explanation of the fact that the matrix maps from [arXiv:2110.05998] satisfy the tetrahedron equation. Also, Liouville integrability is established for some of the constructed maps.
We present several algebraic and differential-geometric constructions of tetrahedron maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation. In particular, we obtain a family of new (nonlinear) polynomial tetrahedron maps on the space of square matrices of arbitrary size, using a matrix refactorisation equation, which does not coincide with the standard local Yang--Baxter equation. Liouville integrability is established for some of these maps. Also, we show how to derive linear tetrahedron maps as linear approximations of nonlinear ones, using Lax representations a…
In this paper, we study transition matrices of PBW bases of the nilpotent subalgebra of quantum superalgebras associated with all possible Dynkin diagrams of type A and B in the case of rank 2 and 3, and examine relationships with three-dimensional (3D) integrability. We obtain new solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation via type A and the 3D reflection equation via type B, where the latter equation was proposed by Isaev and Kulish as a 3D analog of the reflection equation of Cherednik. As a by-product of our approach, the Bazhanov-Sergeev solution to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron …
We notice a remarkable connection between Bazhanov-Sergeev solution of Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation and certain well-known cluster algebra expression. The tetrahedron transformation is then identified with a sequence of four mutations. As an application of the new formalism we show how to construct integrable system with spectral curve with arbitrary symmetric Newton polygon. Finally, we embed this integrable system into double Bruhat cell of a Poisson-Lie group, show how triangular decomposition can be used to extend our approach to general non-symmetric Newton polygons, and prove Lemma…
We study tetrahedron maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, and Yang-Baxter maps, which are set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. In particular, we clarify the structure of the nonlinear algebraic relations which define linear (parametric) tetrahedron maps (with nonlinear dependence on parameters), and we present several transformations which allow one to obtain new such maps from known ones. Furthermore, we prove that the differential of a (nonlinear) tetrahedron map on a manifold is a tetrahedron map as well. Similar resu…
We established a method for obtaining set-theoretical solutions to the 3D reflection equation by using known ones to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, where the former equation was proposed by Isaev and Kulish as a boundary analog of the latter. By applying our method to Sergeev's electrical solution and a two-component solution associated with the discrete modified KP equation, we obtain new solutions to the 3D reflection equation. Our approach is closely related to a relation between the transition maps of Lusztig's parametrizations of the totally positive part of $SL_3$ and $SO_5$, wh…
The 4-simplex equation is a higher-dimensional analogue of Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation and the Yang--Baxter equation which are two of the most fundamental equations of mathematical physics. In this paper, we introduce a method for constructing 4-simplex maps, namely solutions to the set-theoretical 4-simplex equation, using Lax matrix refactorisation problems. Employing this method, we construct 4-simplex maps which at a certain limit give tetrahedron maps classified by Kashaev, Korepanov and Sergeev. Moreover, we construct a Kadomtsev--Petviashvili type of 4-simplex map. Finally, we …
