A q-boson representation of Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra for stochastic R matrix of $$\varvec{U_q(A^{(1)}_n)}$$ U q ( A n ( 1 ) )

Abstract

We construct a $q$-boson representation of the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra whose structure function is given by the stochastic $R$ matrix of $U_q(A^{(1)}_n)$ introduced recently. The representation involves quantum dilogarithm type infinite products in the $n(n-1)/2$-fold tensor product of $q$-bosons. It leads to a matrix product formula of the stationary probabilities in the $U_q(A_n^{(1)})$-zero range process on a one-dimensional periodic lattice.
