Elliptic quantum group \(U_{q,p}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\), Hopf algebroid structure and elliptic hypergeometric series (Q1034209)

In [Commun. Math. Phys. 195, No. 2, 373--403 (1998; Zbl 1028.17010)], the author introduced the algebra \(U_{q,p}(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2})\), an elliptic analogue of the quantum affine algebra \(U_{q}(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{2})\) in its Drinfeld realization. This elliptic algebra has a constructive definition in terms of the Drinfeld generators of the quantum affine algebra and a Heisenberg algebra and the present work shows that this has the structure of an \(H\)-Hopf algebroid, a notion introduced by \textit{P. Etingof} and \textit{A. Varchenko} [Commun. Math. Phys. 196, No. 3, 591--640 (1998; Zbl 0957.17019)]. From this, finite- and infinite-dimensional dynamical representations are constructed and in particular the finite-dimensional irreducible pseudo-highest weight representations are classified, in terms of an elliptic analogue of the Drinfeld polynomials. The tensor structure of the representation theory is also examined and it is shown that there is an elliptic analogue of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients associated to the tensor product of two evaluation representations that has an expression in terms of the very-well-poised balanced elliptic hypergeometric series \({}_{12}V_{11}\) of \textit{I. B. Frenkel} and \textit{V. G. Turaev} [The Arnold-Gelfand mathematical seminars: geometry and singularity theory. Boston, MA: Birkhäuser, 171--204 (1997; Zbl 0974.17016)].
