LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We prove higher rank analogues of the Razumov–Stroganov sum rule for the ground state of the O(1) loop model on a semi-infinite cylinder: we show that a weighted sum of components of the ground state of the Ak−1 IRF model yields integers that generalize the numbers of alternating sign matrices. This is done by constructing minimal polynomial solutions of the level 1 U_q(\widehat{\frak{sl}(k)}) quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations, which may also be interpreted as quantum incompressible q-deformations of quantum Hall effect wavefunctions at filling fraction ν = k. In addition to the generalized Razumov–Stroganov point q = −eiπ/k+1, another combinatorially interesting point is reached in the rational limit q → −1, where we identify the solution with extended Joseph polynomials associated with the geometry of upper triangular matrices with vanishing kth power.
