Cluster integrable systems and spin chains

Understand

We discuss relation between the cluster integrable systems and spin chains in the context of their correspondence with 5d supersymmetric gauge theories.

• It is shown that $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ XXZ-type spin chain on $M$ sites is isomorphic to a cluster integrable system with $N \times M$ rectangular Newton polygon and $N \times M$ fundamental domain of a 'fence net' bipartite graph.
• The Casimir functions of the Poisson bracket, labeled by the zig-zag paths on the graph, correspond to the inhomogeneities, on-site Casimirs and twists of the chain, supplemented by total spin.
• The symmetricity of cluster formulation implies natural spectral duality, relating $\mathfrak{gl}_N$-chain on $M$ sites with the $\mathfrak{gl}_M$-chain on $N$ sites.
