Jacobi-Trudi identity and Drinfeld functor for super Yangian
Kang Lu, Evgeny Mukhin
TL;DR
This work analyzes the representation theory and integrable structure of the super Yangian $\mathrm{Y}(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$ by constructing skew representations $L(\lambda/\mu)$ and establishing their $q$-character theory via a Jacobi–Trudi framework. It then connects these skew modules to degenerate affine Hecke algebras through the Drinfeld functor, yielding irreducibility criteria for tensor products and extended $T$-systems, all within the super setting. A central result is the factorization of the quantum Berezinian as $\mathfrak D_1\mathfrak D_2^{-1}$, where $\mathfrak D_1$ and $\mathfrak D_2$ are difference operators of orders $m$ and $n$ whose coefficients are transfer matrices associated to skew diagrams, up to a normalization by the $m\times n$ rectangle. The paper also develops Harish-Chandra maps and a rational form for the Berezinian, linking eigenvalues of transfer matrices to $q$-character divisibility and Bethe ansatz data, thereby providing a unified operator-level description of the integrals of motion and spectral data in the supersymmetric case.
Abstract
We show that the quantum Berezinian which gives a generating function of the integrals of motions of XXX spin chains associated to super Yangian $\mathrm{Y}(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$ can be written as a ratio of two difference operators of orders $m$ and $n$ whose coefficients are ratios of transfer matrices corresponding to explicit skew Young diagrams. In the process, we develop several missing parts of the representation theory of $\mathrm{Y}(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$ such as $q$-character theory, Jacobi-Trudi identity, Drinfeld functor, extended T-systems, Harish-Chandra map.
