Exact S-matrices for a class of 1+1-dimensional integrable factorized scattering theories with Uq(sl2) symmetry and arbitrary spins

In this thesis we will study the S-matrices associated to a new class of (1+1)-dimensional integrable models with Uq(sl2) symmetry, whose asymptotic particle states organize into a k/2 isospin multiplet, with k= 0,1,2,... Such S-matrices generalize the case study previously analyzed by S. R. Aladim and M. J. Martins, where it was only investigated the non-deformed limit q→1 of pure SU(2) symmetry. We check that the proposed S-matrix satisfies the constraints due to the the Yang-Baxter equation, crossing-symmetry requirement and unitarity and therefore defines a self-consistent integrable factorized scattering theory
