Abstract: We show that the quantum affine algebra Uq(A1(1)) and the quantum affine superalgebra Uq(C(2)(2)) admit a unified description. The difference between them consists in the phase factor which is equal to 1 for Uq(A1(1)) and it is equal to -1 for Uq(C(2)(2)). We present such a description for the actions of the braid group, for the construction of Cartan-Weyl generators and their commutation relations, as well for the extremal projector and the universal R-matrix. We give also a unified description for the 'new realizations' of these algebras together with explicit calculations of corresponding R-matrices.


In this very interesting paper the authors present a unified description for the quantum affine algebra \(U_q(A_1^{(1)})\) and the quantum affine superalgebra \(U_q(C(2)^{(1)})\). The only difference between them consists in the phase vector, which is equal \(1\) for \(U_q(A_1^{(1)})\) and \(-1\) for \(U_q(C(2)^{(1)})\). The authors describe the braid group action, construction of Cartan-Weyl generators and their commutation relations, the extremal projector and the universal \(R\)-matrix. The unified description is also extended to ``new realizations of these algebras and the authors explicitly compute corresponding \(R\)-matrices.
