Jordanian deformation of the non-compact and s l 2 $$ \mathfrak{s}{\mathfrak{l}}_2 $$ -invariant XXX −1/2 spin-chain by Riccardo Borsato, Miguel García Fernández

“…Before the deformation, the seed model can be understood as a sector of the psu $$ \mathfrak{psu} $$ (2, 2|4)-invariant spin-chain encoding the spectral problem of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills at one loop in the planar limit. The deformation gives rise to interesting features because, while being integrable, the Hamiltonian is non-hermitian and non-diagonalisable, so that it only admits a Jordan decomposition. …”
