Folded and contracted solutions of coupled classical dynamical Yang–Baxter and reflection equations

In this paper we give a concrete recipe how to construct triples of algebra-valued meromorphic functions on a complex vector space a satisfying three coupled classical dynamical Yang–Baxter equations and an associated classical dynamical reflection equation. Such triples provide the local factors of a consistent system of first order differential operators on a , generalising asymptotic boundary Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov–Bernard (KZB) equations. The recipe involves folding and contracting a -invariant and θ -twisted symmetric classical dynamical r -matrices along an involutive automorphism θ . In case of the universal enveloping algebra of a simple Lie algebra g we determine the subclass of Schiffmann’s classical dynamical r -matrices which are a -invariant and θ -twisted. The paper starts with a section highlighting the connections between asymptotic (boundary) KZB equations, representation theory of semisimple Lie groups, and integrable quantum field theories.
