Soliton Cellular Automata for the Affine General Linear Lie Superalgebra

Abstract. The box-ball system (BBS) is a cellular automaton that is an ultradiscrete analogue of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, a non-linear PDE used to model water waves. In 2001, Hikami and Inoue generalised the BBS to the general linear Lie superalgebra gl(m|n). We further generalise the Hikami-Inoue BBS using the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals for gl~(m|n) devised by Kwon and Okado in 2021, where we find similar solitonic behaviour under certain conditions.
