Quantum affine (super)algebras \(U_ q(A_ 1^{(1)})\) and \(U_ q(C(2)^{(2)})\). (Q5953634)

In this very interesting paper the authors present a unified description for the quantum affine algebra \(U_q(A_1^{(1)})\) and the quantum affine superalgebra \(U_q(C(2)^{(1)})\). The only difference between them consists in the phase vector, which is equal \(1\) for \(U_q(A_1^{(1)})\) and \(-1\) for \(U_q(C(2)^{(1)})\). The authors describe the braid group action, construction of Cartan-Weyl generators and their commutation relations, the extremal projector and the universal \(R\)-matrix. The unified description is also extended to ``new realizations'' of these algebras and the authors explicitly compute corresponding \(R\)-matrices.
