Abstract: We extend to the sl(N) case the results that we previously obtained on the construction of W_{q,p} algebras from the elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(hat{sl}(2)_c). The elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(hat{sl}(N)_c) at the critical level c=-N has an extended center containing trace-like operators t(z). Families of Poisson structures indexed by N(N-1)/2 integers, defining q-deformations of the W_N algebra, are constructed. The operators t(z) also close an exchange algebra when (-p^1/2)^{NM} = q^{-c-N} for M in Z. It becomes Abelian when in addition p=q^{Nh} where h is a non-zero integer. The Poisson structures obtained in these classical limits contain different q-deformed W_N algebras depending on the parity of h, characterizing the exchange structures at p e q^{Nh} as new W_{q,p}(sl(N)) algebras.

Review text

The main aim of this article is to analyse whether the \(q\)-deformed \({\mathcal W}_N\) algebras can arise as structures embedded in the quantum elliptic algebra \({\mathcal A}_{q,p}(\widehat{sl}(N)_c)\) introduced in [\textit{O. Foda, K. Iohara, M. Jimbo, R. Kedem, T. Miwa} and \textit{H. Yan}, Lett. Math. Phys. 32, 259-268 (1994; Zbl 0821.17011)] and [\textit{M. Jimbo, H. Konno, S. Odake} and \textit{J. Shiraishi}, Quasi-Hopf twistors for elliptic quantum groups, Transform. Groups 4, 303-327 (1999)]. The authors show that at the critical level \(c=-N\) the algebra \({\mathcal A}_{q,p}(\widehat{sl}(N)_c)\) has an extended centre and compute the Poisson structures on this centre. These structures are then identified as \(q\)-deformed \({\mathcal W}_N\) algebras. The authors also show that if there exists an integer \(M\) such that \((-p^{1/2})^{NM} = q^{-c-N}\) then there exist quadratic exchange algebras which are commutative in the limit \(p= q^{Nh}\), where \(h\) is a non-zero integer. These algebras, however, are different from the quantum \({\mathcal W}_{q,p}(\widehat{sl}(N))\) algebras introduced in [\textit{B. Feigin} and \textit{E. Frenkel}, Commun. Math. Phys. 178, 653-678 (1996; Zbl 0871.17007)]. The related Poisson structures are computed.
