Abstract

Recently, researchers have proposed the Asymmetric Bethe ansatz method-a theoretical tool that extends the scope of Bethe ansatz-solvable models by “breaking" partial mirror symmetry via the introduction of a fully reflecting boundary. Within this framework, the integrability conditions which were originally put forward by Gaudin have been further generalized. In this work, building on Gaudin’s generalized kaleidoscope model, we present a detailed investigation of the relationship between DN symmetry and its integrability. We demonstrate that the mathematical essence of integrability in this class of models is characterized by a newly proposed Kaleidoscope Yang-Baxter Equation. Furthermore, we show that the solvability of a model via the coordinate Bethe ansatz depends not only on the consistency relations satisfied by scattering matrices, but also on the model’s boundary conditions and the symmetry of the subspace where solutions are sought. Through finite element method (based numerical studies), we further confirm that Bethe ansatz integrability arises in a specific symmetry sector. Finally, by analyzing the algebraic structure of the Kaleidoscope Yang–Baxter Equation, we derive a series of novel quantum algebraic identities within the framework of quantum torus algebra.
