Soliton separation conjecture for affine general linear Lie superalgebra cellular automata

About 4 years old · traced to

Let pp be any state, and let T∞T_{\infty} be the time-evolution map. A soliton separation conjecture asserts that there exist a positive integer t~\widetilde{t}, solitons v1,…,vDv_1,\ldots,v_D with respective speeds d1,…,dDd_1,\ldots,d_D, and positive integers c1,…,cDc_1,\ldots,c_D such that, for every t>t~t>\widetilde{t},

(T∞)t(p)=u1⊗(c1+d1(t−t~))⊗v1⊗u1⊗(c2+(d2−d1)(t−t~))⊗v2⊗⋯⊗u1⊗(cD+(dD−dD−1)(t−t~))⊗vD⊗u1⊗∞.(T_{\infty})^t(p)=u_1^{\otimes(c_1+d_1(t-\widetilde{t}))}\otimes v_1\otimes u_1^{\otimes(c_2+(d_2-d_1)(t-\widetilde{t}))}\otimes v_2\otimes\cdots\otimes u_1^{\otimes(c_D+(d_D-d_{D-1})(t-\widetilde{t}))}\otimes v_D\otimes u_1^{\otimes\infty}.

Thus every state should eventually separate into solitons whose positions evolve linearly with time. The paper reports verification for all Uq(gl^(2∣2))U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(2|2)) and Uq(gl^(3∣3))U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(3|3)) states with at most five non-vacuum elements, while the general assertion remains open.
