Abstract: Following a preceding paper of Tarasov and the second author, we define and study a new structure, which may be regarded as the dynamical analogue of the Weyl group for Lie algebras and of the quantum Weyl group for quantized enveloping algebras. We give some applications of this new structure.

Review text

The authors define a dynamical analog of the Weyl group for Lie algebras and of the quantum Weyl group for quantized enveloping algebras. The theory of dynamical quantum groups was inaugurated in 1994 by \textit{G. Felder} [Proc. Int. Congress Math., Zürich 1994, Vol. II, 1247--1255 (1995; Zbl 0852.17014)]. This theory assigns dynamical analogs to mathematical objects like Hopf algebras or R-matrices. In this paper, the authors introduce and study a dynamical analog of the Weyl groups of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra and of the quantum Weyl group of the corresponding quantum group, following a previous paper of \textit{V. Tarasov} and \textit{A. Varchenko} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2000, 801--829 (2000; Zbl 0971.39009)]. Finally, the authors give useful applications. As a first application, it is shown how the dynamical Weyl groups can be used for the theory of trace functions. Applications for KZ and qKZ equations are also given. It is also proved that the limit at infinity of the dynamical Weyl group gives the usual quantum Weyl group of Soibelman and Lusztig.
