A central extension of \(DY_{\hbar}(\mathfrak{gl}_ 2)\) (Q1922503): Difference between revisions

The authors define a central extension \(DY_\hbar ({\mathfrak {gl}}_2)\) of the quantum double of the Yangian of \({\mathfrak {gl}}_2\), using the `RTT formalism'. Drinfeld generators for \(DY_\hbar ({\mathfrak {gl}}_2)\) are also given. An analogue for \(DY_\hbar ({\mathfrak {gl}}_2)\) of the bosonic construction of the level 1 highest weight modules for (quantum) affine \({\mathfrak {gl}}_2\) is then given. This is used to define vertex operators and compute their commutation relations.
