We study a class of systems of functional equations closely related to various kinds of integrable statistical and quantum mechanical models. We call them the finite and infinite @math -systems according to the number of functions and equations. The finite Q-systems appear as the thermal equilibrium conditions (the Sutherland–Wu equation) for certain statistical mechanical systems. Some infinite Q-systems appear as the relations of the normalized characters of the KR modules of the Yangians and the quantum affine algebras. We give two types of power series formulae for the unique solution (resp. the unique canonical solution) for a finite (resp. infinite) Q-system. As an application, we reformulate the Kirillov–Reshetikhin conjecture on the multiplicities formula of the KR modules in terms of the canonical solutions of Q-systems.

We introduce a fermionic formula associated with any quantum affine algebra U q (X N (r) . Guided by the interplay between corner transfer matrix and the Bethe ansatz in solvable lattice models, we study several aspects related to representation theory, most crucially, the crystal basis theory. They include one-dimensional sums over both finite and semi-infinite paths, spinon character formulae, Lepowsky—Primc type conjectural formula for vacuum string functions, dilogarithm identities, Q-systems and their solution by characters of various classical subalgebras and so forth. The results expand [HKOTY1] including the twisted cases and more details on inhomogeneous paths consisting of non-perfect crystals. As a most intriguing example, certain inhomogeneous one-dimensional sums conjecturally give rise to branching functions of an integrable G 2 (1) -module related to the embedding G 2 (1) ↪ B 3 (1) ↪ D 4 1 . We prove a conjecture of Knutson asserting that the Schubert structure constants of the cohomology ring of a two-step flag variety are equal to the number of puzzles with specified border labels that can be created using a list of eight puzzle pieces. As a consequence, we obtain a puzzle formula for the Gromov-Witten invariants defining the small quantum cohomology ring of a Grassmann variety of type A. The proof of the conjecture proceeds by showing that the puzzle formula defines an associative product on the cohomology ring of the two-step flag variety. It is based on an explicit bijection of gashed puzzles that is analogous to the jeu de taquin algorithm but more complicated. We give a log-geometric description of the space of twisted canonical divisors constructed by Farkas--Pandharipande. In particular, we introduce the notion of a principal rubber @math -log-canonical divisor, and we study its moduli space. It is a proper Deligne--Mumford stack admitting a perfect obstruction theory whose virtual fundamental cycle is of dimension @math . In the so-called strictly meromorphic case with @math , the moduli space is of the expected dimension and the push-forward of its virtual fundamental cycle to the moduli space of stable curves equals the weighted fundamental class of the moduli space of twisted canonical divisors. Conjecturally, it yields a formula of Pixton generalizing the double ramification cycle in the moduli space of stable curves. Whereas formal category theory is classically considered within a @math -category, in this paper a double-dimensional approach is taken. More precisely we develop such theory within the setting of hypervirtual double categories, a notion extending that of virtual double category by adding cells with nullary target. [...] After this the notion of weak' Kan extension within a hypervirtual double category is considered, together with three strengthenings. [...] The notion of yoneda embedding is then considered in a hypervirtual double category, and compared to that of a good yoneda structure on a @math -category; the latter in the sense of Street-Walters and Weber. Conditions are given ensuring that a yoneda embedding @math defines @math as the free small cocompletion of @math , in a suitable sense. In the second half we consider formal category theory in the presence of algebraic structures. In detail: to a monad @math on a hypervirtual double category @math several hypervirtual double categories @math of @math -algebras are associated, [...]. This is followed by the study of the creation of, amongst others, left Kan extensions by the forgetful functors @math . The main motivation of this paper is the description of conditions ensuring that yoneda embeddings in @math lift along these forgetful functors, as well as ensuring that such lifted algebraic yoneda embeddings again define free small cocompletions, now in @math . As a first example we apply the previous to monoidal structures on categories, hence recovering Day convolution of presheaves and Im-Kelly's result on free monoidal cocompletion, as well as obtaining a "monoidal Yoneda lemma".
