Meromorphic tensor equivalence for Yangians and quantum loop algebras (Q2400808)

Let \(\mathfrak{g}\) be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. Let, further, \(Y_h(\mathfrak{g})\) and \(U_q(L\mathfrak{g})\) be the corresponding Yangian and quantum loop algebra, respectively, with deformation parameters related by \(q=e^{\pi i h}\), where \(q\) is not a root of unity. The main result of the paper under review asserts that the equivalences \(\Gamma\) between the categories of finite-dimensional representations of \(Y_h(\mathfrak{g})\) and \(U_q(L\mathfrak{g})\) constructed in the authors' paper [J. Am. Math. Soc. 29, No. 3, 775--824 (2016; Zbl 1336.17012)] is an equivalence of meromorphic tensor categories. Moreover, if \(|q|\neq 1\), it turns out that this equivalence preserves the meromorphic braiding arising from the abelianization of the universal \(R\)-matrices of \(Y_h(\mathfrak{g})\) and \(U_q(L\mathfrak{g})\). This proves, in particular, the Kohno-Drinfeld theorem for the abelian qKZ equations defined by \(Y_h(\mathfrak{g})\).
