Abstract

The Yangian Y (𝔤) of a simple Lie algebra 𝔤 can be regarded as a deformation of two different Hopf algebras: the universal enveloping algebra of the current algebra \( U\left(\mathfrak{g}\left[t\right]\right) \) and the coordinate ring of the first congruence subgroup \( \mathcal{O}\left({G}_1\left[\left[{t}^{-1}\right]\right]\right). \) Both of these algebras are obtained from the Yangian by taking the associated graded with respect to an appropriate filtration on Y (𝔤).

Bethe subalgebras B(C) in Y (𝔤) form a natural family of commutative subalgebras depending on a group element C of the adjoint group G. The images of these algebras in tensor products of fundamental representations give all integrals of the quantum XXX Heisenberg magnet chain.

We describe the associated graded of Bethe subalgebras in the Yangian Y (𝔤) of a simple Lie algebra 𝔤 as subalgebras in \( U\left(\mathfrak{g}\left[t\right]\right) \) and in \( \mathcal{O}\left({G}_1\left[\left[{t}^{-1}\right]\right]\right) \) for all semisimple CG. In particular, we show that the associated graded in \( U\left(\mathfrak{g}\left[t\right]\right) \) of the Bethe subalgebra B(E) assigned to the unity element of G is the universal Gaudin subalgebra of \( U\left(\mathfrak{g}\left[t\right]\right) \) obtained from the center of the corresponding affine Kac–Moody algebra \( \hat{\mathfrak{g}} \) at the critical level. This generalizes Talalaev’s formula for generators of the universal Gaudin subalgebra to 𝔤 of any type. In particular, this shows that higher Hamiltonians of the Gaudin magnet chain can be quantized without referring to the Feigin–Frenkel center at the critical level.

Using our general result on the associated graded of Bethe subalgebras, we compute some limits of Bethe subalgebras corresponding to regular semisimple CG as C goes to an irregular semisimple group element C0. We show that this limit is the product of the smaller Bethe subalgebra B(C0) and a quantum shift of argument subalgebra in the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of C0 in 𝔤. This generalizes the Nazarov–Olshansky solution of Vinberg’s problem on quantization of the (Mishchenko–Fomenko) shift of argument subalgebras.
