An introduction to Yangians and their representations, to Yangian symmetry in 1+1D integrable (bulk) field theory, and to the effect of a boundary on this symmetry.

Twisted Yangian symmetry of the open Hubbard model
• Physics, Mathematics
• 2014
We show that, in the open Hubbard model with integrable boundary conditions, the bulk Yangian symmetry is broken to a twisted Yangian. We prove that the associated charges commute with the
An integrability primer for the gauge-gravity correspondence: an introduction
• Physics
• 2016
We introduce a series of articles reviewing various aspects of integrable models relevant to the anti-de Sitter (AdS)/conformal quantum field theory (CFT) correspondence. Topics covered in these re
Review of AdS/CFT Integrability. Chapter VI.2: Yangian Algebra
We review the study of Hopf algebras, classical and quantum R-matrices, infinite-dimensional Yangian symmetries and their representations in the context of integrability for the $${\mathcal{N} = 4}$$
Yangian symmetry of boundary scattering in AdS/CFT and the explicit form of bound state reflection matrices
The reflection matrices of multi magnon bound states are obtained explicitely by exploiting the Yangian symmetry of boundary scattering on the Y = 0 maximal giant graviton brane.
From Twisted Quantum Loop Algebras to Twisted Yangians
• Mathematics
• 2015
We prove how the Yangian of glN in its RTT presentation and Olshanski's twisted Yangians for the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras can be obtained by a de- generation process from the
Reflection algebra, Yangian symmetry and bound-states in AdS/CFT
• Mathematics
• 2012
A bstractWe present the ‘Heisenberg picture’ of the reflection algebra by explicitly constructing the boundary Yangian symmetry of an AdS/CFT superstring which ends on a boundary with non-trivial
The secret symmetries of the AdS/CFT reflection matrices
We find new twisted Yangian symmetries of the AdS/CFT reflection matrices for the Y=0 maximal giant graviton and D5-brane. These new symmetries originate from the known secret symmetries of the
• Physics
• 2012
We discuss special quantum group (secret) symmetries of the integrable system associated with the AdS/CFT correspondence. These symmetries have by now been observed in a variety of forms, including
Achiral boundaries and the twisted Yangian of the D5-brane
• Mathematics
• 2011
We consider integrable field theories with achiral boundary conditions and uncover the underlying achiral twisted Yangian algebra. This construction arises from old work on the bosonic principal
