Abstract: In this paper, we establish the connection between the quantized W-algebra of fraksl(2,1) and quantum parafermions of Uq(hatfraksl(2)) that a shifted product of the two quantum parafermions of Uq(hatfraksl(2)) generates the quantized W-algebra of fraksl(2,1).


In [\textit{J.~Ding} and \textit{B.~Feigin}, Contemp. Math. 248, 83-108 (1999; Zbl 0952.17011)] the authors derived the quantized \(W\)-algebra of \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,1)\) by using the quantization of screening operators; it is generated by a current operator which commutes (up to a total difference) with two screening operators. In the paper under review the authors use the bosonization formulas in [\textit{A.~Matsuo}, Free field realization of \(q\)-deformed primary fields for \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\), hep-th/9212040] to establish the connection between the quantized \(W\)-algebra of \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,1)\) and the two quantum parafermions of \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\). In particular, the authors determine explicitly the current operator \(L(z)\) which generates the quantized \(W\)-algebra of \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,1)\).
