Braid group actions and tensor products for Yangians

Abstract

We introduce a braid group action on $l$-tuple of rational functions for the finite-dimensional representations of Yangians $Y(\mathfrak{g})$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex simple Lie algebra. It provides an efficient way to compute certain polynomials which allows us to provide a finite set of numbers at which the tensor product of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of Yangians may fail to be cyclic.
