Scattering matrices and affine Hecke algebras

We construct the scattering matrices for an arbitrary Weyl group in terms of elementary operators which obey the generalised Yang-Baxter equation. We use this construction to obtain the affine Hecke algebras. The center of the affine Hecke algebras coincides with commuting Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians have q-deformed affine Lie algebras as symmetry algebra.Comment: 22 pages, harvmac, no figures, Lecture at Schladming, March 4,11 199

Representations of affine Lie algebras, elliptic r-matrix systems, and special functions

There were some errors in paper hep-th/9303018 in formulas 6.1, 6.6, 6.8, 6.11. These errors have been corrected in the present version of this paper. There are also some minor changes in the introduction.Comment: 33 pages, no figure

Irreducibility of fusion modules over twisted Yangians at generic point

With any skew Young diagram one can associate a one parameter family of "elementary" modules over the Yangian \Yg(\g\l_N). Consider the twisted Yangian \Yg(\g_N)\subset \Yg(\g\l_N) associated with a classical matrix Lie algebra \g_N\subset\g\l_N. Regard the tensor product of elementary Yangian modules as a module over \Yg(\g_N) by restriction. We prove its irreducibility for generic values of the parameters.Comment: Replaced with journal version, 18 page

Completely splittable representations of affine Hecke-Clifford algebras

We classify and construct irreducible completely splittable representations of affine and finite Hecke-Clifford algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2.Comment: 39 pages, v2, added a new reference with comments in section 4.4, added two examples (Example 5.4 and Example 5.11) in section 5, mild corrections of some typos, to appear in J.

Isospectral flow in Loop Algebras and Quasiperiodic Solutions of the Sine-Gordon Equation

The sine-Gordon equation is considered in the hamiltonian framework provided by the Adler-Kostant-Symes theorem. The phase space, a finite dimensional coadjoint orbit in the dual space \grg^* of a loop algebra \grg, is parametrized by a finite dimensional symplectic vector space $W$ embedded into \grg^* by a moment map. Real quasiperiodic solutions are computed in terms of theta functions using a Liouville generating function which generates a canonical transformation to linear coordinates on the Jacobi variety of a suitable hyperelliptic curve.Comment: 12 pg

Whittaker Limits of Difference Spherical Functions

The main aim of this paper is to introduce global q–Whittaker functions as the limit t → 0 of the (renormalized) generalized symmetric spherical functions constructed in [C5] for arbitrary reduced root systems (see [Sto] in the C∨C–case). This work is inspired by [GLO1] and [GLO2], though our approach is different. For instance, we obtain a q–version of the classical Shintani-Casselman-Shalika formula [Shi, CS] via the q–Mehta -Macdonald integral in the Jackson setting. The Shintani-type formulas (in the case of GLn) play an important role in [GLO1, GLO2], but the q–Gauss integrals are not considered there as well as globally-defined q–Whittaker functions. We use these formulas to obtain a q, t–generalization of the Harish-Chandra asymptotic formula for the classical spherical function

The decomposition of level-1 irreducible highest weight modules with respect to the level-0 actions of the quantum affine algebra Uq′(sl^n)U'_q(\hat{sl}_n)

We decompose the level-1 irreducible highest weight modules of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_n)$ with respect to the level-0 $U'_q (\hat{sl}_n)$--action defined in q-alg/9702024. The decomposition is parameterized by the skew Young diagrams of the border strip type.Comment: 22 pages, AMSLaTe

On the idempotents of Hecke algebras

We give a new construction of primitive idempotents of the Hecke algebras associated with the symmetric groups. The idempotents are found as evaluated products of certain rational functions thus providing a new version of the fusion procedure for the Hecke algebras. We show that the normalization factors which occur in the procedure are related to the Ocneanu--Markov trace of the idempotents.Comment: 11 page

A simple construction of elliptic RR-matrices

We show that Belavin's solutions of the quantum Yang--Baxter equation can be obtained by restricting an infinite $R$-matrix to suitable finite dimensional subspaces. This infinite $R$-matrix is a modified version of the Shibukawa--Ueno $R$-matrix acting on functions of two variables.Comment: 6 page

Bethe Ansatz solutions for Temperley-Lieb Quantum Spin Chains

We solve the spectrum of quantum spin chains based on representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra associated with the quantum groups ${\cal U}_{q}(X_{n})$ for $X_{n}=A_{1},$ $B_{n},$ $C_{n}$ and $D_{n}$. The tool is a modified version of the coordinate Bethe Ansatz through a suitable choice of the Bethe states which give to all models the same status relative to their diagonalization. All these models have equivalent spectra up to degeneracies and the spectra of the lower dimensional representations are contained in the higher-dimensional ones. Periodic boundary conditions, free boundary conditions and closed non-local boundary conditions are considered. Periodic boundary conditions, unlike free boundary conditions, break quantum group invariance. For closed non-local cases the models are quantum group invariant as well as periodic in a certain sense.Comment: 28 pages, plain LaTex, no figures, to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
