Tropical R and Tau Functions

arXiv:math/0303088 · doi:10.1007/s00220-003-1015-1

Abstract

Tropical R is the birational map that intertwines products of geometric crystals and satisfies the Yang-Baxter equation. We show that the D^{(1)}_n tropical R introduced by the authors and its reduction to A^{(2)}_{2n-1} and C^{(1)}_n are equivalent to a system of bilinear difference equations of Hirota type. Associated tropical vertex models admit solutions in terms of tau functions of the BKP and DKP hierarchies.
