Coupled-soliton decomposition conjecture for affine general linear Lie superalgebra cellular automata

About 4 years old · traced to

Let vv be a coupled soliton. A coupled-soliton decomposition conjecture asserts that there exist positive integers dd and t~\widetilde{t} such that, whenever ww is an uncoupled soliton of length at least dd and t>t~t>\widetilde{t}, the state (T∞)t(w⊗u1⊗d⊗v⊗u1⊗∞)(T_{\infty})^t(w\otimes u_1^{\otimes d}\otimes v\otimes u_1^{\otimes\infty}) has the displayed decomposition into uncoupled solitons v~1,…,v~D,w~\widetilde{v}_1,\ldots,\widetilde{v}_D,\widetilde{w} with the stated linear separations and speeds d1,…,dD,dd_1,\ldots,d_D,d, and

∣{v~j∣dj=ℓ}∣=Nℓ(w⊗u1⊗d⊗v⊗u1⊗∞).\left\lvert \{\widetilde{v}_j\mid d_j=\ell\}\right\rvert=N_{\ell}(w\otimes u_1^{\otimes d}\otimes v\otimes u_1^{\otimes\infty}).

Here Cj(t)=cj+(dj−dj−1)(t−t~)C_j(t)=c_j+(d_j-d_{j-1})(t-\widetilde{t}), with d0=0d_0=0 and dD+1=dd_{D+1}=d. This formalizes the idea that a coupled soliton separates into uncoupled solitons after collision with a sufficiently long uncoupled soliton.
