Abstract: Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such an isomorphism when g = sl(n), previously known only for n=2.


It is well known that the homomorphism between the quantum loop algebra and the Yangian of \(\operatorname{sl}_{n}\) is given explicitly in the loop presentation of Yangian (also known as Drinfeld's new presentation), while the evaluation homomorphism \(ev\) is known only in either the \(J\)-presentation, or the Baxter \(RTT\) presentation of Yangian. Thus, in order to work out an explicit formula for \(\operatorname{sl}_{n}\), defined via this scheme, one needs to rewrite \(ev\) in terms of the Drinfeld currents of \(Y_{\hbar }\operatorname{sl}_{n}\). One of the main results of this paper consists in proving this explicit formula and explaining the idea behind it. The authors demonstrate that it is possible for solving the problem to use relations between the quantum-minors of \(T(u)\), namely, by using the standard techniques of Baxter \(RTT\) induced algebras, treated as linear algebra carries over to the matrix \(T(u)\), even though its entries are from a non-commutative ring. As a result, the authors obtain another proof of a few well-known results from the classical invariant theory of \(\operatorname{sl}_{n}\). Their proof is new and seems to be applicable to more general situations. In more detail, they constructed an explicit isomorphism for \(g=sl_{n}\), \(n>2\), which preserves the standard flag of type \(A\). There is also conjectured that this isomorphism quantizes the Poisson diffeomorphism of Alekseev and Meinrenken.
