Title: On the number of p-hypergeometric solutions of KZ equations
We consider the master functions associated with one irreducible integrable highest weight representation of a Kac-Moody algebra. We study the generation procedure of new critical points from a given critical point of one of these master functions. We show that all critical points of all these master functions can be generated from the critical point of the master function with no variables. In particular this means that the set of all critical points of all these master functions form a single population of critical points. We formulate a conjecture that the number of populations of critical points of master functions associated with a tensor product of irreducible integrable highest weight representations of a Kac-Moody algebra are labeled by homomorphisms to $$\C$$ of the Bethe algebra of the Gaudin model associated with this tensor product.  more » « less

  1. We study the realization of acyclic cluster algebras as coordinate rings of Coxeter double Bruhat cells in Kac–Moody groups. We prove that all cluster monomials with $$\mathbf{g}$$ -vector lying in the doubled Cambrian fan are restrictions of principal generalized minors. As a corollary, cluster algebras of finite and affine type admit a complete and non-recursive description via (ind-)algebraic group representations, in a way similar in spirit to the Caldero–Chapoton description via quiver representations. In type $$A_{1}^{(1)}$$ , we further show that elements of several canonical bases (generic, triangular, and theta) which complete the partial basis of cluster monomials are composed entirely of restrictions of minors. The discrepancy among these bases is accounted for by continuous parameters appearing in the classification of irreducible level-zero representations of affine Lie groups. We discuss how our results illuminate certain parallels between the classification of representations of finite-dimensional algebras and of integrable weight representations of Kac–Moody algebras.

  2. Let be a symmetrisable Kac–Moody algebra and Uhg its quantised enveloping algebra. Answering a question of P. Etingof, we prove that the quantum Weyl group operators of Uhg give rise to a canonical action of the pure braid group of g on any category O (not necessarily integrable) module. By relying on our recent results, we show that this action describes the monodromy of the rational Casimir connection on the Uhg-module corresponding to V. We also extend these results to yield equivalent representations of parabolic pure braid groups on parabolic category for Uhg and g.

  3. Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra and V an integrable g-module in category O. We show that the monodromy of the (normally ordered) rational Casimir connection on V can be made equivariant with respect to the Weyl group W of g, and therefore defines an action of the braid group BW on V. We then prove that this action is canonically equivalent to the quantum Weyl group action of BW on a quantum deformation of V, that is an integrable, category O module V over the quantum group Uhg such that V/hV is isomorphic to V. This extends a result of the second author which is valid for g semisimple.

  4. Abstract We describe a connection between the subjects of cluster algebras, polynomial identity algebras, and discriminants. For this, we define the notion of root of unity quantum cluster algebras and prove that they are polynomial identity algebras. Inside each such algebra we construct a (large) canonical central subalgebra, which can be viewed as a far reaching generalization of the central subalgebras of big quantum groups constructed by De Concini, Kac, and Procesi and used in representation theory. Each such central subalgebra is proved to be isomorphic to the underlying classical cluster algebra of geometric type. When the root of unity quantum cluster algebra is free over its central subalgebra, we prove that the discriminant of the pair is a product of powers of the frozen variables times an integer. An extension of this result is also proved for the discriminants of all subalgebras generated by the cluster variables of nerves in the exchange graph. These results can be used for the effective computation of discriminants. As an application we obtain an explicit formula for the discriminant of the integral form over of each quantum unipotent cell of De Concini, Kac, and Procesi for arbitrary symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebras, where is a root of unity.

    A bstract Conformally soft gluons are conserved currents of the Celestial Conformal Field Theory (CCFT) and generate a Kac-Moody algebra. We study celestial amplitudes of Yang-Mills theory, which are Mellin transforms of gluon amplitudes and take the double soft limit of a pair of gluons. In this manner we construct the Sugawara energy-momentum tensor of the CCFT. We verify that conformally soft gauge bosons are Virasoro primaries of the CCFT under the Sugawara energy-momentum tensor. The Sugawara tensor though does not generate the correct conformal transformations for hard states. In Einstein-Yang- Mills theory, we consider an alternative construction of the energy-momentum tensor, similar to the double copy construction which relates gauge theory amplitudes with gravity ones. This energy momentum tensor has the correct properties to generate conformal transformations for both soft and hard states. We extend this construction to supertranslations.
