Abstract:
In this paper we clarify the relationship between inhomogeneous quantum
spin chains and classical integrable many-body systems. It provides an alternative (to the
nested Bethe ansatz) method for computation of spectra of the spin chains. Namely, the
spectrum of the quantum transfer matrix for the inhomogeneous $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-invariant XXX spin
chain on $N$ sites with twisted boundary conditions can be found in terms of velocities of
particles in the rational $N$-body Ruijsenaars–Schneider model. The possible values of the
velocities are to be found from intersection points of two Lagrangian submanifolds in the
phase space of the classical model. One of them is the Lagrangian hyperplane corresponding
to fixed coordinates of all $N$ particles and the other one is an $N$-dimensional Lagrangian
submanifold obtained by fixing levels of $N$ classical Hamiltonians in involution. The latter
are determined by eigenvalues of the twist matrix. To support this picture, we give a direct
proof that the eigenvalues of the Lax matrix for the classical Ruijsenaars–Schneider model,
where velocities of particles are substituted by eigenvalues of the spin chain Hamiltonians,
calculated through the Bethe equations, coincide with eigenvalues of the twist matrix, with
certain multiplicities. We also prove a similar statement for the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ Gaudin model with
$N$ marked points (on the quantum side) and the Calogero–Moser system with $N$ particles
(on the classical side). The realization of the results obtained in terms of branes and
supersymmetric gauge theories is also discussed.
