A computation of universal weight function for quantum affine algebra \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak {gl}}_n)\) (Q1012025)

The authors compute weight functions (off-shell Bethe vectors) in any representation with a weight singular vector of the quantum affine algebra \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_N)\) applying the method of projections of Drinfeld currents developed in [\textit{B. Enriquez} and the authors, Commun. Math. Phys. 276, No. 3, 691--725 (2007; Zbl 1140.17010)] and using results from [the authors and \textit{V. Tarasov}, J. Geom. Phys. 57, No. 8, 1713--1732 (2007; Zbl 1148.17010)]. They apply their result to compute off-shell Bethe vectors for evaluations modules and compare this with analogous results in [V. Tarasov and A. Varchenko, Combinatorial formulae for nested Bethe vectors, preprint, \\url{arxiv:math/0702277}].
