Twisted and non-twisted deformed Virasoro algebras via vertex operators of \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\) (Q829978)

The quantum affine algebra \(U_q(\widehat{sl}_2)\) has two level one integrable irreducible representations \(V(\Lambda_0)\) and \(V(\Lambda_1)\), realized by vertex operators [\textit{I. B. Frenkel} and \textit{N. Jing}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, No. 24, 9373--9377 (1988; Zbl 0662.17006)]. Let \(V_z=\mathbb C^{2}[z, z^{-1}]\) be the affinization of the fundamental representation of \(U_q(sl_2)\). The paper used the bosonized vertex operators \(\Phi(z): V(\Lambda_i)\longrightarrow V(\Lambda_{1-i})\otimes V_z\) and \(\Psi(z): V_z\otimes V(\Lambda_i)\longrightarrow V(\Lambda_{1-i})\) (\(i=0, 1\)) to construct representations of the deformed Virasoro algebra and its twisted version on both \(V(\Lambda_i)\). This seems to be connected with the well-known action of the Virasoro algebra on the \(\widehat{sl}_2\)-modules.
