Quantum generalized Toda system

We construct a "spectral curve" for the generalized Toda system, which allows efficiently finding its quantization. In turn, the quantization is realized using the technique of the quantum characteristic polynomial for the Gaudin system and an appropriate Alder–Kostant–Symes reduction. We also discuss some relations of this result to the recent consideration of the Drinfeld Zastava space, the monopole space, and corresponding symmetries of the Borel Yangian.
