Abstract: We propose a method to compute the R-matrix R on a tensor product of Fock modules from coproduct relations in a Hopf algebra. We apply this method to the quantum toroidal algebra Uq,t(overset..gl1) for which R is currently not explicitly known. We show that the coproduct relations of Uq,t(overset..gl1) reduce to a single elegant equation for R. Using the theory of symmetric Macdonald polynomials we show that this equation provides a recursive formula for the matrix elements of R.


In this paper the authors consider the algebraic approach to the computation of the Fock \(R\)-matrix of the quantum toroidal algebra \(g\). They consider \(R\) as the solution of the set of equations arising from the coproduct relations. The authors manage to reduce these equations to a single equation which is simpler and more transparent than the original set of equations. They make a connection to the Macdonald theory of symmetric polynomials and derive an equation for the matrix elements of \(R\) which is expressed through fundamental operators of the Macdonald theory: the Macdonald difference operator and the Cauchy kernel. As the first application of these results the authors derive a recursive formula which allows one to compute the matrix elements of \(R\) written in the basis of Macdonald polynomials. In addition, they speculate that their strategy, i.e. finding a reduced equation for the \(R\)-matrix from the coproduct relations, its reformulation in terms of symmetric functions and the recursive formula, can be extended by analogy to other quantum groups with Fock representations. The outline of the paper is the following: The authors give the definition of the algebra \(g\) in Section~2. In Section~3 they recall the Fock module. In Section~4 the author reduce the coproduct equations to an equation involving vertex operators and then rewrite this equation in the vector form. In Section~5 they turn to the Macdonald theory and derive an equation for the symmetric function \(R(x,y;u)\) and then obtain a recursive formula for the coefficients of \(R(x,y;u)\) in the Macdonald basis.
