Affine crystal structure on rigged configurations of type D_n^(1)

Extending the work arXiv:math/0508107, we introduce the affine crystal action on rigged configurations which is isomorphic to the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal B^{r,s} of type D_n^(1) for any r,s. We also introduce a representation of B^{r,s} (r not equal to n-1,n) in terms of tableaux of rectangular shape r x s, which we coin Kirillov-Reshetikhin tableaux (using a non-trivial analogue of the type A column splitting procedure) to construct a bijection between elements of a tensor product of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals and rigged configurations.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figures.

Crystals for Demazure Modules of Classical Affine Lie Algebras

We study, in the path realization, crystals for Demazure modules of affine Lie algebras of types $A^{(1)}_n,B^{(1)}_n,C^{(1)}_n,D^{(1)}_n, A^{(2)}_{2n-1},A^{(2)}_{2n}, and D^{(2)}_{n+1}$. We find a special sequence of affine Weyl group elements for the selected perfect crystal, and show if the highest weight is l\La_0, the Demazure crystal has a remarkably simple structure.Comment: Latex, 28 page

Soliton cellular automaton associated with G2(1)G_2^{(1)} crystal base

We calculate the combinatorial $R$ matrix for all elements of $\mathcal{B}_l\otimes \mathcal{B}_1$ where $\mathcal{B}_l$ denotes the $G_2^{(1)}$-perfect crystal of level $l$, and then study the soliton cellular automaton constructed from it. The solitons of length $l$ are identified with elements of the $A_1^{(1)}$-crystal $\tilde{\mathcal{B}}_{3l}$. The scattering rule for our soliton cellular automaton is identified with the combinatorial $R$ matrix for $A_1^{(1)}$-crystals

A crystal theoretic method for finding rigged configurations from paths

The Kerov--Kirillov--Reshetikhin (KKR) bijection gives one to one correspondences between the set of highest paths and the set of rigged configurations. In this paper, we give a crystal theoretic reformulation of the KKR map from the paths to rigged configurations, using the combinatorial R and energy functions. This formalism provides tool for analysis of the periodic box-ball systems.Comment: 24 pages, version for publicatio

Generalised Perk--Schultz models: solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated with quantised orthosymplectic superalgebras

The Perk--Schultz model may be expressed in terms of the solution of the Yang--Baxter equation associated with the fundamental representation of the untwisted affine extension of the general linear quantum superalgebra $U_q[sl(m|n)]$, with a multiparametric co-product action as given by Reshetikhin. Here we present analogous explicit expressions for solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated with the fundamental representations of the twisted and untwisted affine extensions of the orthosymplectic quantum superalgebras $U_q[osp(m|n)]$. In this manner we obtain generalisations of the Perk--Schultz model.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure

Spectrum in multi-species asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring

The spectrum of Hamiltonian (Markov matrix) of a multi-species asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring is studied. The dynamical exponent concerning the relaxation time is found to coincide with the one-species case. It implies that the system belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang or Edwards-Wilkinson universality classes depending on whether the hopping rate is asymmetric or symmetric, respectively. Our derivation exploits a poset structure of the particle sectors, leading to a new spectral duality and inclusion relations. The Bethe ansatz integrability is also demonstrated.Comment: 46 pages, 9 figure

Noncommutative Schur polynomials and the crystal limit of the U_q sl(2)-vertex model

Starting from the Verma module of U_q sl(2) we consider the evaluation module for affine U_q sl(2) and discuss its crystal limit (q=0). There exists an associated integrable statistical mechanics model on a square lattice defined in terms of vertex configurations. Its transfer matrix is the generating function for noncommutative complete symmetric polynomials in the generators of the affine plactic algebra, an extension of the finite plactic algebra first discussed by Lascoux and Sch\"{u}tzenberger. The corresponding noncommutative elementary symmetric polynomials were recently shown to be generated by the transfer matrix of the so-called phase model discussed by Bogoliubov, Izergin and Kitanine. Here we establish that both generating functions satisfy Baxter's TQ-equation in the crystal limit by tying them to special U_q sl(2) solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. The TQ-equation amounts to the well-known Jacobi-Trudy formula leading naturally to the definition of noncommutative Schur polynomials. The latter can be employed to define a ring which has applications in conformal field theory and enumerative geometry: it is isomorphic to the fusion ring of the sl(n)_k -WZNW model whose structure constants are the dimensions of spaces of generalized theta-functions over the Riemann sphere with three punctures.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figures; v2: several typos fixe
