GGS conjecture for explicit quantum R-matrices of sln\mathfrak{sl}_n

About 27 years old · traced to

Let (Γ1,Γ2,τ)(\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2,\tau) be an admissible triple and let r0∈h⊗hr^0\in\mathfrak h\otimes\mathfrak h satisfy the equations referenced in the source. Define r~0=r0−P0/2\tilde r^0=r^0-P^0/2, and construct R∈Mat⁡n(C)⊗Mat⁡n(C)R\in\operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb C)\otimes\operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb C) by

R=qr~0(Rs+q^ a~)qr~0,R=q^{\tilde r^0}(R_s+\hat q\,\tilde a)q^{\tilde r^0},

where a~\tilde a, RsR_s, and q^=q−q−1\hat q=q-q^{-1} are defined as above. Here PP denotes the permutation operator, and R12,R13,R23R_{12},R_{13},R_{23} are the corresponding tensor placements. GGS conjecture. The matrix RR satisfies the quantum Yang–Baxter equation

R12R13R23=R23R13R12,R_{12}R_{13}R_{23}=R_{23}R_{13}R_{12},

and PRPR satisfies the Hecke relation

(PR−q)(PR+q−1)=0.(PR-q)(PR+q^{-1})=0.

This conjecture gives an explicit quantization of the Belavin–Drinfeld solutions of the classical Yang–Baxter equation. The supplied source is a verification for sln\mathfrak{sl}_n with n≤12n\leq 12, so the general claim beyond the verified range is not established by this paper.
