Affine Gaudin Bethe ansatz conjecture for qKdV non-local integrals of motion

Let Gn\boldsymbol G_n be the non-local integrals of motion of the quantum KdV model acting on a Virasoro Verma module, and let the subspace of level NN be parametrized by two sets of Bethe roots

sˉ=(sˉi)i=1,,N,tˉ=(tˉj)j=1,,N.\bar s=(\bar s_i)_{i=1,\dots,N},\qquad \bar t=(\bar t_j)_{j=1,\dots,N}.

Let rnr_n be supersymmetric polynomials in infinitely many variables, with degree nn.

Affine Gaudin Bethe ansatz conjecture. Every eigenvalue of Gn\boldsymbol G_n in the level-NN subspace has the form rn(sˉ,tˉ)r_n(\bar s,\bar t) for a solution of the affine Gaudin Bethe ansatz equations with N0=N1=NN_0=N_1=N. Moreover,

r1(sˉ,tˉ)=G1(vac)(11v2(12β)1β+2Pi=1N(sˉitˉi)),r_1(\bar s,\bar t)=\boldsymbol G_1^{(\mathrm{vac})}\left(1-\frac{1}{v}\frac{2(1-2\beta)}{1-\beta+2P}\sum_{i=1}^{N}(\bar s_i-\bar t_i)\right),

and, for generic rr and π^\hat\pi, the number of such solutions equals the number of partitions of NN.

This conjecture would identify the qKdV non-local spectrum with affine Gaudin Bethe roots and match the expected partition count of level-NN states. It is presented as an expectation depending on the preceding quantum-toroidal conjecture, and no proof is supplied in the cited passage.
