The GGS conjecture for the GGS R-matrix

Let RGGSR_{\text{GGS}} be the matrix defined by

RGGS=i,j,k,lPi,j,k,leijekl,R_{\text{GGS}}=\sum_{i,j,k,l}P_{i,j,k,l}e_{ij}\otimes e_{kl},

where the polynomials Pi,j,k,lP_{i,j,k,l} are uniquely determined by

i,j,k,lPi,j,k,leijekl1+2r+22r2(mod3).\sum_{i,j,k,l}P_{i,j,k,l}e_{ij}\otimes e_{kl}\equiv 1+2\hbar r+2\hbar^2r^2\pmod{\hbar^3}.

Here q=eq=e^{\hbar}, and the quantum Yang–Baxter equation is

R12R13R23=R23R13R12,R^{12}R^{13}R^{23}=R^{23}R^{13}R^{12},

while the Hecke relation is

(PRq)(PR+q1)=0,(PR-q)(PR+q^{-1})=0,

with PP the permutation operator. The GGS conjecture. The matrix RGGSR_{\text{GGS}} satisfies the quantum Yang–Baxter equation and the Hecke relation.

These conditions assert that the quantization determined to second order by the classical matrix rr extends to a quantum RR-matrix of Hecke type. The source provides the conjecture but no resolution status, so it is recorded as open.
