Employing bijectivization of summation identities, we introduce local stochastic moves based on the Yang–Baxter equation for $U_{q}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_{2}})$. Combining these moves leads to a new object which we call the spin Hall–Littlewood Yang–Baxter field—a probability distribution on two-dimensional arrays of particle configurations on the discrete line. We identify joint distributions along down-right paths in the Yang–Baxter field with spin Hall–Littlewood processes, a generalization of Schur processes. We consider various degenerations of the Yang–Baxter field leading to new dynamic versions of the stochastic six-vertex model and of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process.
