Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications Paths and Tableaux Descriptions of Jacobi–Trudi Determinant Associated with Quantum Affine Algebra of Type Cn
Abstract. We study the Jacobi–Trudi-type determinant which is conjectured to be the q-character of a certain, in many cases irreducible, finite-dimensional representation of the quantum affine algebra of type Cn. Like the Dn case studied by the authors recently, applying the Gessel–Viennot path method with an additional involution and a deformation of paths, we obtain an expression by a positive sum over a set of tuples of paths, which is naturally translated into the one over a set of tableaux on a skew diagram
