Generalized Quantum Yang-Baxter Moves and Their Application to Schubert Calculus
Abstract.
The quantum alcove model is a uniform combinatorial model in the representation theory of quantum affine algebras and Schubert calculus on flag manifolds. Given a weight λ, the model is based on a sequence of roots called a λ-chain. When λ is dominant, the independence of the model from the chosen λ-chain was shown using certain elementary transformations called quantum Yang-Baxter moves.
The purpose of the present work is to generalize the quantum Yang-Baxter moves to an arbitrary weight λ.
As an application, we give a combinatorial proof of the Chevalley formula
in the equivariant K-group of semi-infinite flag manifolds, first proved by Lenart-Naito-Sagaki.
