The algebra \({\mathcal A}_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat g)\) and infinite Hopf family of algebras (Q1299177)

In [Lett. Math. Phys. 32, 259-268 (1994; Zbl 0821.17011), Prog. Theor. Phys., Suppl. 118, 1-34 (1995; Zbl 0871.17011)], \textit{O. Foda, K. Iohara, M. Jimbo, R. Kedem, T. Miwa} and \textit{H. Yan} defined the algebras \(\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})\) for \(\mathfrak{g}\) a simply laced semisimple Lie algebra. In [Commun. Math. Phys. 190, 597-627 (1998; Zbl 0919.17012), \texttt{q-alg/9702002}] \textit{S. Khoroshkin, D. Lebedev} and \textit{S. Pakuliak} considered the scaling limit \(\mathcal{A}_{\hbar,\eta}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2})\). This is not a Hopf algebra but rather a {finite family of Hopf algebras}. In the present paper the authors consider the scaling limit \(\mathcal{A}_{\hbar,\eta}(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})\) for any simply laced \(\mathfrak{g}\). These are {infinite families of Hopf algebras} over \(\mathbb{C}\), i.e., a family of associative unitary algebras \(\{\mathcal{A}_n,\;n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\) with multiplication \(m_n\), together with algebra maps \(\Delta_n^+:\mathcal{A}_n\to\mathcal{A}_n\otimes\mathcal{A}_{n+1}\), \(\Delta_n^-:\mathcal{A}_n\to\mathcal{A}_{n-1}\otimes\mathcal{A}_n\), \(\varepsilon_n:\mathcal{A}_n\to\mathbb{C}\) and anti-algebra maps \(S_n^{\pm}:\mathcal{A}_n\to\mathcal{A}_{n\pm 1}\), subject to \[ (\text{id}_n\otimes\varepsilon_{n+1})\Delta_n^+=\text{id}_n,\qquad (\varepsilon_{n-1}\otimes\text{id}_n)\Delta_n^-=\text{id}_n, \] \[ m_{n+1}(S_n^+\otimes\text{id}_{n+1})\Delta_n^+=\varepsilon_n,\qquad m_{n-1}(\text{id}_{n-1}\otimes S_n^-)\Delta_n^-=\varepsilon_n. \] Then, current realizations \(\mathcal{A}_{\hbar,\eta}(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})\) are considered and for certain \(\eta^{(n)} (n\in\mathbb{Z})\), the family \(\{\mathcal{A}_{\hbar,\eta^{(n)}}\}\) is an infinite family of Hopf algebras. A representation at level \(c=1\) is obtained considering a Heisenberg algebra and then, by iterating it, representations at levels \(c\in\mathbb{Z}_+\) are gotten (\(c\) is the center of \(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}\)). Analogously, Fock spaces for \(c\in\mathbb{Z}_+\) are studied. For the case \(\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{r+1}\), the authors consider the evaluation representation and present intertwining operators between tensor products of Fock spaces with the evaluation representation.
