Finite-dimensional representations of Yangians in complex rank

Abstract

We classify the "finite-dimensional" irreducible representations of the Yangians $Y({\mathfrak{gl}}_t)$ and $Y({\mathfrak{sl}}_t)$. These are associative ind-algebras in the Deligne category $\text{Rep}(G{L}_t)$, which generalize the regular Yangians $Y({\mathfrak{gl}}_n)$ and $Y({\mathfrak{sl}}_n)$ to complex rank. They were first defined by Etingof in his paper "Representation theory in complex rank". Here we solve Problem 7.2 from this paper. We work with the Deligne category $\text{Rep}(G{L}_t)$ using the ultraproduct approach introduced by Deligne and discussed by Nate Harman in arXiv:1601.03426.
