State-counting formula for invariant soliton sectors

About 21 years old · traced to

Let m=(mj(a))m=(m^{(a)}_j) be a content such that

T(P(m))=P(m),{\mathcal T}(P(m))=P(m),

where

T(P(m))=⋃a=1n⋃j≥1{Tj(a)(p)∣p∈P(m)}.{\mathcal T}(P(m))=\bigcup_{a=1}^n\bigcup_{j\geq1}\{T^{(a)}_j(p)\mid p\in P(m)\}.

Let Ω(m)\Omega(m) be the Bethe-ansatz multiplicity, let WW be the Weyl group of AnA_n, and let λ(m)\lambda(m) be the associated dominant weight. State-counting conjecture. One has

Ω(m)=∣P(m)∣∣Wλ(m)∣.\Omega(m)=\frac{|P(m)|}{|W\lambda(m)|}.

This relates the Bethe-ansatz count of solutions with content mm to the number of cellular-automaton states in the invariant sector, normalized by the size of the Weyl orbit of the associated weight. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
