Abstract

A lattice model of interacting q-oscillators, proposed by V. Bazhanov and S. Sergeev in 2005 is the quantum-mechanical integrable model in 2+1 dimensional space-time. Its layer-to-layer transfer matrix is a polynomial of two spectral parameters, it may be regarded in terms of quantum groups both as a sum of sl(N) transfer matrices of a chain of length M and as a sum of sl(M) transfer matrices of a chain of length N for reducible representations. The aim of this paper is to derive the Bethe ansatz equations for the q-oscillator model entirely in the framework of 2+1 integrability providing the evident rank-size duality.
