Shuffle algebras are important new mathematical structures that offer a new approaches and techniques to solve outstanding open problems in a variety of branches of mathematics, including mathematical physics, algebraic geometry and combinatorics. This project proposes to find solutions to key open problems using connections between shuffle algebras and integrable lattice models. The expected outcomes include (i) a new framework of shuffle algebra techniques to solve challenging research problems in mathematical physics and statistical mechanics, (ii) practical and computationally feasible constructions of shuffle algebras using vertex models, (iii) solutions to unresolved spectral problems of open quantum systems.Read moreRead less
