The quantum bialgebra associated with the eight-vertex R-matrix

The quantum bialgebra related to the Baxter's eight-vertex R-matrix is found as a quantum deformation of the Lie algebra of sl(2)-valued automorphic functions on a complex torus.Comment: 4 page

SANC: the process γγ→ZZ \gamma \gamma \rightarrow ZZ

The implementation of the process $\gamma\gamma \to ZZ$ at the one-loop level within {\tt SANC} system multi-channel approach is considered. The derived one-loop scalar form factors can be used for any cross channel after an appropriate permutation of their arguments -- Mandelstam variables $s,t,u$. To check of the correctness of the results we observe the independence of the scalar form factors on the gauge parameters and the validity of Ward identity (external photon transversality). We present the complete analytical results for the covariant and tensor structures and helicity amplitudes for this process. We make an extensive comparison of our analytical and numerical results with those existing in the literature.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

The Yangian of sl(n|m) and the universal R-matrix

In this paper we study Yangians of sl(n|m) superalgebras. We derive the universal R-matrix and evaluate it on the fundamental representation obtaining the standard Yang R-matrix with unitary dressing factors. For m=0, we directly recover up to a CDD factor the well-known S-matrices for relativistic integrable models with su(N) symmetry. Hence, the universal R-matrix found provides an abstract plug-in formula, which leads to results obeying fundamental physical constraints: crossing symmetry, unitrarity and the Yang-Baxter equation. This implies that the Yangian double unifies all desired symmetries into one algebraic structure. In particular, our analysis is valid in the case of sl(n|n), where one has to extend the algebra by an additional generator leading to the algebra gl(n|n). We find two-parameter families of scalar factors in this case and provide a detailed study for gl(1|1).Comment: 24 pages, 2 figure
