Abstract:
This work develops a new method, based on the use of Gustafson's integrals and on the evaluation of singular integrals, allowing one to establish the unitarity of the separation of variables transform for infinite-dimensional representations of rank one quantum integrable models. We examine in detail the case of the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ spin chains.
Keywords:spin chains, separation of variables, Gustafson's integrals.
