Homology of Yang-Baxter modules
Yin Tian, Xiao Wang, Yuxin Zhang
TL;DR
Addresses the one-term Yang-Baxter homology for the family of operators $R_m$ arising from $U_q(sl_m)$ acting on the vector representation $V_m$. The authors construct an operator $\sigma_n$ from the $R_m$-braiding and prove a direct-sum eigenspace decomposition of $V^{\otimes n}$ into $\ker\sigma_n$ and tensor-structured pieces, enabling a splitting of the one-term chain complex as $C^{YB}(M)\cong C^f(M)\otimes B(V_m)$ with $B(V_m)=\bigoplus_n\ker\sigma_n$ being a graded algebra; the finite part $C^f(M)$ is described via the Koszul resolution, allowing explicit computation of $H^{YB}_*(F)$ and, for small $m$, explicit generators of kernels. The paper provides dimension formulas and a graded-algebra structure for $B(V_m)$, including concrete results for $m=2,3$, and illustrates Betti-number computations for certain $V_m$-modules. These results establish a concrete, computable framework for the one-term YB homology of a central quantum-group–related family and set the stage for higher-term homologies and quantum-invariant applications.
Abstract
We study the Yang-Baxter operator for the vector representation $V_m$ of the quantum group $U_q(sl_m)$. We consider the one-term Yang-Baxter homology with coefficients in $V_m$-modules and provide a direct sum decomposition of the one term Yang-Baxter chain complex. The homology is explicitly computed for some specific $V_m$-modules.
