Stochastic $R$ matrix for $U_q(A^{(1)}_n)$

We show that the quantum $R$ matrix for symmetric tensor representations of $U_q(A^{(1)}_n)$ satisfies the sum rule required for its stochastic interpretation under a suitable gauge. Its matrix elements at a special point of the spectral parameter are found to factorize into the form that naturally extends Povolotsky's local transition rate in the $q$-Hahn process for $n=1$. Based on these results we formulate new discrete and continuous time integrable Markov processes on a one-dimensional chain in terms of $n$ species of particles obeying asymmetric stochastic dynamics. Bethe ansatz eigenvalues of the Markov matrices are also given.

Tetrahedron equation and generalized quantum groups

We construct $2^n$-families of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation from $n$-products of three-dimensional $R$ and $L$ operators satisfying the tetrahedron equation. They are identified with the quantum $R$ matrices for the Hopf algebras known as generalized quantum groups. Depending on the number of $R$'s and $L$'s involved in the product, the trace construction interpolates the symmetric tensor representations of $U_q(A^{(1)}_{n-1})$ and the anti-symmetric tensor representations of $U_{-q^{-1}}(A^{(1)}_{n-1})$, whereas a boundary vector construction interpolates the $q$-oscillator representation of $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$ and the spin representation of $U_{-q^{-1}}(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$. The intermediate cases are associated with an affinization of quantum super algebras.

Inhomogeneous generalization of multispecies totally asymmetric zero range process

The $n$-species totally asymmetric zero range process ($n$-TAZRP) on one-dimensional periodic chain studied recently by the authors is a continuous time Markov process where arbitrary number of particles can occupy the same sites and hop to the adjacent sites only in one direction with a priority constraint according to their species. In this paper we introduce an $n$-parameter generalization of the $n$-TAZRP having inhomogeneous transition rate. The steady state probability is obtained in a matrix product form and also by an algorithm related to combinatorial $R$.

Multispecies TASEP and the tetrahedron equation

We introduce a family of layer to layer transfer matrices in a three-dimensional (3D) lattice model which can be viewed as partition functions of the $q$-oscillator valued six-vertex model on $m \times n$ square lattice. By invoking the tetrahedron equation we establish their commutativity and bilinear relations mixing various boundary conditions. At $q=0$ and $m=n$, they ultimately yield a new proof of the steady state formula for the $n$-species totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) obtained recently by the authors, revealing the 3D integrability in the matrix product construction.

Combinatorial Yang-Baxter maps arising from tetrahedron equation

We survey the matrix product solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation obtained recently from the tetrahedron equation. They form a family of quantum $R$ matrices of generalized quantum groups interpolating the symmetric tensor representations of $U_q(A^{(1)}_{n-1})$ and the anti-symmetric tensor representations of $U_{-q^{-1}}(A^{(1)}_{n-1})$. We show that at $q=0$ they all reduce to the Yang-Baxter maps called combinatorial $R$, and describe the latter by explicit algorithm.

Multispecies TASEP and combinatorial $R$

We identify the algorithm for constructing steady states of the $n$-species totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on $L$ site periodic chain by Ferrari and Martin with a composition of combinatorial $R$ for the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl}_L)$ in crystal base theory. Based on this connection and the factorized form of the $R$ matrix derived recently from the tetrahedron equation, we establish a new matrix product formula for the steady state of the TASEP which is expressed in terms of corner transfer matrices of the $q$-oscillator valued five-vertex model at $q=0$.

Tetrahedron Equation and Quantum $R$ Matrices for modular double of $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1}), U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n})$ and $U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$

We introduce a homomorphism from the quantum affine algebras $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1}), U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n}), U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$ to the $n$-fold tensor product of the $q$-oscillator algebra ${\mathcal A}_q$. Their action commute with the solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation obtained by reducing the solutions of the tetrahedron equation associated with the modular and the Fock representations of ${\mathcal A}_q$. In the former case, the commutativity is enhanced to the modular double of these quantum affine algebras.

Tetrahedron equation and quantum $R$ matrices for $q$-oscillator representations

We review and supplement the recent result by the authors on the reduction of the three dimensional $R$ (3d $R$) satisfying the tetrahedron equation to the quantum $R$ matrices for the $q$-oscillator representations of $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$, $U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n})$ and $U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$. A new formula for the 3d $R$ and a quantum $R$ matrix for $n=1$ are presented and a proof of the irreducibility of the tensor product of the $q$-oscillator representations is detailed.

Tetrahedron equation and quantum R matrices for $q$-oscillator representations of $U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n}), U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$ and $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$

The intertwiner of the quantized coordinate ring $A_q(sl_3)$ is known to yield a solution to the tetrahedron equation. By evaluating their $n$-fold composition with special boundary vectors we generate series of solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. Finding their origin in conventional quantum group theory is a clue to the link between two and three dimensional integrable systems. We identify them with the quantum $R$ matrices associated with the $q$-oscillator representations of $U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n})$, $U_q(C^{(1)}_n)$ and $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})$.

Tetrahedron equation and quantum R matrices for infinite dimensional modules of U_q(A^{(1)}_1) and U_q(A^{(2)}_2)

From the q-oscillator solution to the tetrahedron equation associated with a quantized coordinate ring, we construct solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation by applying a reduction procedure formulated earlier by S. Sergeev and the first author. The results are identified with the quantum R matrices for the infinite dimensional modules of U_q(A^{(1)}_1) and U_q(A^{(2)}_2) corresponding to an affinization of Verma modules of their subalgebras isomorphic to U_q(sl_2) and U_{q^4}(sl_2).

Tetrahedron Equation and Quantum R Matrices for Spin Representations of B^{(1)}_n, D^{(1)}_n and D^{(2)}_{n+1}

It is known that a solution of the tetrahedron equation generates infinitely many solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation via suitable reductions. In this paper this scheme is applied to an oscillator solution of the tetrahedron equation involving bosons and fermions by using special 3d boundary conditions. The resulting solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation are identified with the quantum R matrices for the spin representations of B^{(1)}_n, D^{(1)}_n and D^{(2)}_{n+1}.

A Common Structure in PBW Bases of the Nilpotent Subalgebra of $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ and Quantized Algebra of Functions

For a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, let $U^+_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be the positive part of the quantized universal enveloping algebra, and $A_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be the quantized algebra of functions. We show that the transition matrix of the PBW bases of $U^+_q(\mathfrak{g})$ coincides with the intertwiner between the irreducible $A_q(\mathfrak{g})$-modules labeled by two different reduced expressions of the longest element of the Weyl group of $\mathfrak{g}$. This generalizes the earlier result by Sergeev on $A_2$ related to the tetrahedron equation and endows a new representation theoretical interpretation with the recent solution to the 3D reflection equation for $C_2$. Our proof is based on a realization of $U^+_q(\mathfrak{g})$ in a quotient ring of $A_q(\mathfrak{g})$.

A solution of the 3D reflection equation from quantized algebra of functions of type B

Let A_q(g) be the quantized algebra of functions associated with simple Lie algebra g defined by generators obeying the so called RTT relations. We describe the embedding $A_q(B_2) \hookrightarrow A_q(C_2)$ explicitly. As an application, a new solution of the Isaev-Kulish 3D reflection equation is constructed by combining the embedding with the previous solution for A_q(C_2) by the authors.

Integrable structure of box-ball systems: crystal, Bethe ansatz, ultradiscretization and tropical geometry

The box-ball system is an integrable cellular automaton on one dimensional lattice. It arises from either quantum or classical integrable systems by the procedures called crystallization and ultradiscretization, respectively. The double origin of the integrability has endowed the box-ball system with a variety of aspects related to Yang-Baxter integrable models in statistical mechanics, crystal base theory in quantum groups, combinatorial Bethe ansatz, geometric crystals, classical theory of solitons, tau functions, inverse scattering method, action-angle variables and invariant tori in completely integrable systems, spectral curves, tropical geometry and so forth. In this review article, we demonstrate these integrable structures of the box-ball system and its generalizations based on the developments in the last two decades.

Generalized energies and integrable D^{(1)}_n cellular automaton

We introduce generalized energies for a class of U_q(D^{(1)}_n) crystals by using the piecewise linear functions that are building blocks of the combinatorial R. They include the conventional energy in the theory of affine crystals as a special case. It is shown that the generalized energies count the particles and anti-particles in a quadrant of the two dimensional lattice generated by time evolutions of an integrable D^{(1)}_n cellular automaton. Explicit formulas are conjectured for some of them in the form of ultradiscrete tau functions.

Fermionic partition functions for a periodic soliton cellular automaton

Fermionic formulas in combinatorial Bethe ansatz consist of sums of products of q-binomial coefficients. There exist refinements without a sum that are known to yield partition functions of box-ball systems with a prescribed soliton content. In this paper, such a refined fermionic formula is extended to the periodic box-ball system and a q-analogue of the Bethe root counting formula for XXZ chain at $Δ=\infty$.

Periodicities of T and Y-systems, dilogarithm identities, and cluster algebras I: Type B_r

We prove the periodicities of the restricted T and Y-systems associated with the quantum affine algebra of type B_r at any level. We also prove the dilogarithm identities for the Y-systems of type B_r at any level. Our proof is based on the tropical Y-systems and the categorification of the cluster algebra associated with any skew-symmetric matrix by Plamondon. Using this new method, we also give an alternative and simplified proof of the periodicities of the T and Y-systems associated with pairs of simply laced Dynkin diagrams.
