Abstract
We study the tensor product W of any number of irreducible finite-dimensional modules V-1, ..., V-k over the Yangian Y(gl(N)) of the general linear Lie algebra gl(N). For any indices i, j = 1, ..., k, there is a canonical nonzero intertwining operator J(ij) : V-i circle times V-j --> V-j circle times V-i. It has been conjectured that the tensor product W is irreducible if and only if all operators Jij with i < j are invertible. We prove this conjecture for a wide class of irreducible Y(gl(N))-modules V-1, ..., V-k. Each of these modules is determined by a skew Young diagram and a complex parameter We also introduce the notion of a Durfee rank of a skew Young diagram. For an ordinary Young diagram, this is the length of its main diagonal.
