Anisotropic spin generalization of elliptic Macdonald-Ruijsenaars operators and R-matrix identities

Abstract

We propose commuting set of matrix-valued difference operators in terms of the elliptic Baxter-Belavin $R$-matrix in the fundamental representation of ${\rm GL}_M$. In the scalar case $M=1$ these operators are the elliptic Macdonald-Ruijsenaars operators, while in the general case they can be viewed as anisotropic versions of the quantum spin Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians. We show that commutativity of the operators for any $M$ is equivalent to a set of $R$-matrix identities. The proof of identities is based on the properties of elliptic $R$-matrix including the quantum and the associative Yang-Baxter equations. As an application of our results, we introduce elliptic generalization of q-deformed Haldane-Shastry model.
