Yangian and quantum universal solutions of Gervais-Neveu-Felder equations (Q1348997)

The construction of several deformations of Yangian algebras at the universal level, and understanding these as Drinfeld's twist of the centrally extended double Yangian \(DY(sl_2)\), has been achieved. The authors extend these universal constructions to the case of deformations of the centrally extended double Yangians \(DY(g)\), where \(g\) is a simple Lie algebra of type \(Sl_N\), or a contragredient simple Lie superalgebra of type \(Sl(M|N)\), \(M\neq N\). By the same techniques the authors construct consistent deformations of \(U(g)\) and \(U_q (\widetilde g)\) for any \(g\). These constructions systematically endow these deformations with a Gervais-Neveu-Felder type Quasi-Triangular Quasi-Hopf Algebra (QTQHA) structure. The paper contains 7 sections and an Appendix. An introduction is given in Sections 1 and 2. The authors define the following general setting. Given \(q\) and a quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebra \((U,\Phi, \Delta,\varepsilon, S,\alpha, \beta,R)\). If \(F\) is invertible, \(F\in U\otimes U\) such that \((id\otimes \varepsilon)F=(\varepsilon \otimes id)F=I\), then there is another (QTQHA) \((U,\Phi^F, \Delta^F, \varepsilon,S, \alpha^F,\beta^F, R^F)\) defined by: \[ \Delta^F(x)= F_{12}\Delta (x)F^{-1}_{12},\;R^F= F_{12} F_{21}F_{12}^{-1},\;\Phi^F= \bigl(F_{23} (id\otimes\Delta) (F)\bigr)\Phi \bigl(F_{12} (\Delta\otimes id)(F) \bigr)^{-1}, \] \[ \alpha^F=\sum_i S\bigl( w_i^{(1)} \bigr)\alpha w^{(2)}_i,\;\beta^F= \sum_iv_i^{(1)} \beta S(v_i^{(2)}), \] where \(F_{12}= \sum_iv_i^{(1)}\otimes v_i^{(2)},\;F_{12}^{-1}=\sum_i w_i^{ (1)} \otimes w_i^{(2)}\). A Drinfeld twist \(F\) which satisfies \[ F_{12} (\lambda) (\Delta\otimes id)\bigl(F(\lambda) \bigr)=F_{23} (\lambda+ h^{(1)}) (id\otimes\Delta) \bigl(F(\lambda) \bigr) \] is called a Gervais-Neveu-Felder (GNF) twist. In the case of a GNF twist, \(\Phi^F\) satisfies \(\Phi^{F(123)}= F_{23} (\lambda) F_{23}(\lambda +h^{(1)})^{-1}\) and \(R^F\) satisfies the dynamical Yang Baxter equation \[ R^F_{12} (\lambda+ h^{(3)})R^F_{13} (\lambda)R^F_{23} (\lambda +h^{(1)})=R^F_{23}( \lambda)R^F_{13} (\lambda+h^{(2)}) R^F_{12}(\lambda). \] In Section 3 they construct a Drinfeld twist \(F\) from \(DY(g)\) to \(DY_r(g)\). In this structure \(F\) is a GNF twist and \(F\) gives the \(R\)-matrix \(R_{DY_r(r)}= F_{21} R_{DY} F_{12}^{-1}(r)\). There is a gauge transformation that connects the \(N^3\)-vertex \(R\)-matrix \(\overline R(u,r)\) of \(DY_r(sl_N)\) to a more sparsely filled \(N(2N-1)\)-vertex \(R\)-matrix \(R(u,r)\). The evaluation of the twisted universal \(R\)-matrix \(R_{DY_r}\) is precisely the sparsely filled \(N(2N-1)\)-vertex \(R\)-matrix \(R(u,r)\) given by the gauge transformation \(R=(v\otimes v)\overline R(v \otimes v)^{-1}\). In Section 4 they construct a Drinfeld twist \(F\) from \(U_q(g)\) to \(B_{g,\lambda}(g)\), in Section 5 from \(U(g)\) to \(U_s(g)\), in Section 6 from \(U_q (\widehat g)\) to \(U_{q,\lambda} (\widehat g)\), and in Section 7 from \(DY(g)\) to \(DY_s(g)\).
