The study focuses on massless and massive free bosons on a 2D lattice, utilizing methods of exactly solvable models, diagonalizing the row-to-row transfer matrix, and implementing the quantum inverse scattering method to construct two factorized scattering S matrix models. These results position the free boson model in 2D among other exactly solvable models, potentially offering applications in quantum computation.
A free boson on a lattice is the simplest field theory one can think of. Its partition function can be easily computed in momentum space. However, this straightforward solution hides its integrability properties. Here, we use the methods of exactly solvable models, that are currently applied to spin systems, to a massless and massive free boson on a 2D lattice. The Boltzmann weights of the model are shown to satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation with a uniformization given by trigonometric functions in the massless case, and Jacobi elliptic functions in the massive case. We diagonalize the row-to-row transfer matrix, derive the conserved quantities, and implement the quantum inverse scattering method. Finally, we construct two factorized scattering S matrix models for continuous degrees of freedom using trigonometric and elliptic functions. These results place the free boson model in 2D in the same position as the rest of the models that are exactly solvable a la Yang-Baxter, offering possible applications in quantum computation.
