Triangular solutions to the reflection equation for $U_q(\widehat{s{l}_n})$

Abstract

We study solutions of the reflection equation related to the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{s{l}_n})$. First, we explain how to construct a family of stochastic integrable vertex models with fixed boundary conditions. Then, we construct upper- and lower-triangular solutions of the reflection equation related to symmetric tensor representations of $U_q(\widehat{s{l}_n})$ with arbitrary spin. We also prove the star-star relation for the Boltzmann weights of the Ising-type model, conjectured by Bazhanov and Sergeev, and use it to verify certain properties of the solutions obtained.
