From the Drinfeld realization to the Drinfeld-Jimbo presentation of affine quantum algebras: injectivity (Q2344491)

Summary: The surjective homomorphism \(\psi\) (see the author [Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 48, No. 3, 661--733 (2012; Zbl 1297.17009)]) from the Drinfeld realization \(\mathcal U^{\mathrm{Dr}}_q\) to the Drinfeld and Jimbo presentation \(\mathcal U^{\mathrm{DJ}}_q\) of affine quantum algebras is proved to be injective. A consequence of the arguments used in the paper is the triangular decomposition of the Drinfeld realization of affine quantum algebras also in the twisted case. A presentation of affine Kac-Moody algebras in terms of ``Drinfeld generators'' is also provided.
