Exact diagonalization of the quantum supersymmetric $SU_q(n|m)$ model

Abstract

We use the algebraic nested Bethe ansatz to solve the eigenvalue and eigenvector problem of the supersymmetric $SU_q(n|m)$ model with open boundary conditions. Under an additional condition that model is related to a multicomponent supersymmetric t-J model. We also prove that the transfer matrix with open boundary condition is $SU_q(n|m)$ invariant.
