Abstract

We study a certain type of multiple commutation relations of the quantum affine algebra $U_{q} (gl_{N})$ . We show that all the coefficients in the multiple commutation relations between the $L$ -operator elements are given in terms of the trigonometric weight functions for the vector representation, independent of the representation of the $L$ -operator. For rank one case, our proof also gives a conceptual understanding why the coefficients can also be expressed using the Izergin-Korepin determinants. As a related result, by specializing expressions for the universal nested Bethe vector by Pakuliak-Ragoucy-Slavnov, we also find a construction of the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for the vector representation using different $L$ -operator elements from the constructions by Nazarov-Tarasov or Molev. We also present corresponding results for the Yangian $Y_{h} (gl_{N})$ .
