Abstract: We use the idea of free fields to obtain highest weight representations for the extended affine Lie algebra coordinatized by the quantum torus and go on to construct a contravariant hermitian form. We further give a necessary and sufficient condition such that the contravariant hermitian form is positive definite.


In this very technical paper the authors construct certain highest weight modules over the extended affine Lie algebra \(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_2(\mathbb{C}_q)}\) and study their unitarizability. The main idea the authors use is the idea of the free field construction due to \textit{M. Wakimoto} [see Commun. Math. Phys. 104, 605--609 (1986; Zbl 0587.17009)]. The class of representations the authors obtain depends on an infinite family of elements of SL\(_2(\mathbb{C})\) and one complex parameter. All representations the authors construct turn out to be endowed with a contravariant Hermitian form. A sufficient and necessary condition for this form to be positive definite is given.
