Yangian Algebras and Classical Riemann Problems

Abstract

We investigate different Hopf algebras associated to Yang's solution of quantum Yang-Baxter equation. It is shown that for the precise definition of the algebra one needs the commutation relations for the deformed algebra of formal currents and the specialization of the Riemann problem for the currents. Two different Riemann problems are considered. They lead to the central extended Yangian double associated with ${sl}_2$ and to the degeneration of scaling limit of elliptic affine algebra. Unless the defining relations for the generating functions of the both algebras coincide their properties and the theory of infinite-dimensional representations are quite different. We discuss also the Riemann problem for twisted algebras and for scaled elliptic algebra.

On Irreducibility of Tensor Products of Yangian Modules

We study the tensor product $V$ of any number of "elementary" irreducible modules over the Yangian of the general linear Lie algebra. An elementary module is determined by a skew Young diagram and by a complex parameter, and contains a vector called singular. We give sufficient conditions for cyclicity in $V$ of the tensor product of these singular vectors. By using this result, we give an irreducibility criterion for $V$ when each of the skew Young diagrams determining the tensor factors has rectangular shape.

On the parametrization of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equations

We study all five-, six-, and one eight-vertex type two-state solutions of the Yang-Baxter equations in the form $A_{12} B_{13} C_{23} = C_{23} B_{13} A_{12}$, and analyze the interplay of the `gauge' and `inversion' symmetries of these solution. Starting with algebraic solutions, whose parameters have no specific interpretation, and then using these symmetries we can construct a parametrization where we can identify global, color and spectral parameters. We show in particular how the distribution of these parameters may be changed by a change of gauge.

Higher-Dimensional Algebra I: Braided Monoidal 2-Categories

We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give concise definitions of semistrict monoidal 2-categories and braided monoidal 2-categories, and show how these may be unpacked to give long explicit definitions similar to, but not quite the same as, those given by Kapranov and Voevodsky. Finally, we describe how to construct a semistrict braided monoidal 2-category Z(C) as the `center' of a semistrict monoidal category C. This is analogous to the construction of a braided monoidal category as the center, or `quantum double', of a monoidal category. As a corollary, our construction yields a strictification theorem for braided monoidal 2-categories.
