Abstract

We show that the transfer matrix of the A^{(1)N - 1} open spin chain with diagonal boundary fields has the symmetry U_q(SU(l)) × U_q(SU(N - l)) × U(1), as well as a "duality" symmetry which maps l ↔ N - l. We exploit these symmetries to compute exact boundary S-matrices in the regime with q real.
