Integrable particle systems for surface diffusion arising from structure and representation of Hecke algebras
In recent work, Y. Takeyama identified a deformation of affine Hecke algebra. The algebra is generated by the multiplication and difference operators, later discussed by Lascoux and Schutzenberger. This algebra has two representations, first on a Laurent polynomial ring and second on the vector space of C-valued functions on the orthogonal, k-dimensional lattice. Further, Takeyama constructed a Hamiltonian, H, that specifies an integrable stochastic one-dimensional particle system with continuous time for surface diffusion. This is due to a commutation relation, HG=GL, involving the Hamiltonian, H, a propagation operator, G, and a Laplacian operator, L, that allows finding the eigenvectors of H. We aim to consider an extended Laplacian, Lext, to include not only k but all 2k unit vectors the orthogonal, k-dimensional lattice. Then for the extended Laplacian, we aim to find the Hamiltonian, Hext, that satisfies the commutation relation HextG=GLext. Consequently, the new Hamiltonian would result in another integrable stochastic particle system with dynamics that involves particle movement in both left and right directions.
