Vertex operator representations of the quantum affine algebra U q(B r (1) )

We construct the level one vertex operator representations of the q-deformation U _q(B _r ⁽¹⁾ ) of the affine Kac-Moody algebra B _r ⁽¹⁾ . Beside the q-deformed vertex operators introduced by Frenkel and Jing, this construction involves a q-deformation of free fermionic fields.     

Vertex operators of quantum affine Lie algebrasU q (D n (1) )

We give an explicit formula for the vertex operators related to the level 1 representations of the quantum affine Lie algebrasU _q (D _n ⁽¹⁾ ) in terms of bosons. As an application, we derive an integral formula for the correlation functions of the vertex models withU _q (D _n ⁽¹⁾ )-symmetry.NJ was supported in part by NSA grant MDA904-93-H-3005 and University of Kansas General Research allocation.SJK was supported in part by Basic Science Research Institute Program, Ministry of Education of Korea, BSRI-94-1414 and GARC-KOSEF at Seoul National University, Korea.     

Quantization of U q [so(2n + 1)] with deformed para-Fermi operators

The observation thatn pairs of para-Fermi (pF) operators generate the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra so(2n + 1) is used in order to define deformed pF operators. It is shown that these operators are an alternative to the Chevalley generators. With this background U _q [so(2n + 1)] and its Cartan-Weyl generators are written down entirely in terms of deformed para-Fermi operators.     

Finite-dimensional representations of U q (osp(1/2n)) and its connection with quantum so(2n+1)

It is shown that the quantum supergroup U _q (osp(1/2_n)) is essentially isomorphic to the quantum group U _-q (so(2n+1)) restricted to tensorial representations. This renders it straightforward to classify all the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of U _q (osp(1/2n)) at generic q. In particular, it is proved that at generic q, every-dimensional irrep of this quantum supergroup is a deformation of an osp(1/2n) irrep, and all the finite-dimensional representations are completely reducible.     

On a possible algebra morphism of U q [osp(1/2n)] onto the deformed oscillator algebra W q (n)

We formulate a conjecture stating that the algebra ofn pairs of deformed Bose creation and annihilation operators is a factor algebra of U _q [osp(1/2n)], considered as a Hopf algebra, and prove it for then = 2 case. To this end, we show that for any value ofq, U _q [osp(1/4)] can be viewed as a superalgebra freely generated by two pairsB ₁ ^± ,B ₂ ^± of deformed para-Bose operators. We write down all Hopf algebra relations, an analogue of the Cartan-Weyl basis, the commutation relations between the generators and a basis in U _q [osp(1/2n)] entirely in terms ofB ₁ ^± ,B ₂ ^± .     

Heisenberg realization for U q (sl n ) on the flag manifold

We give the Heisenberg realization for the quantum algebra U _q (sl _n ), which is written by theq-difference operator on the flag manifold. We construct it from the action of U _q (sl _n ) on theq-symmetric algebraA _q (Mat _n ) by the Borel-Weil-like approach. Our realization is applicable to the construction of the free field realization for U _q [2].     

Differential operators on quantum spaces for GL q (n) and SO q (n)

We prove that the rings of q-differential operators on quantum planes of the GL _q (n) and SO _q (n) types are isomorphic to the rings of classical differential operators. Also, we construct decompositions of the rings of q-differential operators into tensor products of the rings of q-differential operators with less variables.     

The q-boson realizations of the quantum groups U q(B n)

We give explicit realization for the quantum enveloping algebras U _q(B _n). In these formulae the generators of the algebra are expressed by means of 2n–1 canonical q-boson pairs and one auxiliary representation of U _q(B _n–1)     

Coherent state operators and n-point invariants for U q ((sl(2))

We write down a complete set of n-point U_q(sl(2)) invariants (using a polynomial basis for the irreducible finite dimensional U _q -modules) that are regular for all nonzero values of the deformation parameter q.     

The algebra of differential operators on the circle and W KP (q)

Radul has recently introduced a map from the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle of W _n . In this Letter, we extend this map to W _KP ^(q) , a recently introduced one-parameter deformation of W_KP - the second Hamiltonian structure of the KP hierarchy. We use this to give a short proof that W is the algebra of additional symmetries of the KP equation.     

Lowering operators for the reduction U(n)↓SO(n)

A complete set of lowering operators is constructed for the reduction U(n)↓SO(n). In an irreducible representation of the unitary group U(n), every vector of maximal weight with respect to the subgroup SO(n) can be obtained using the lowering operators. The formula for the lowering operators is obtained using graphical techniques.     

Young Wall Realization of Crystal Graphs for U q (C n (1) )

We give a realization of crystal graphs for basic representations of the quantum affine algebra U _q (C _n ⁽¹⁾ ) using combinatorics of Young walls. The notion of splitting blocks plays a crucial role in the construction of crystal graphs.

On Gelfand-Zetlin modules over U q(gl n)

We construct and investigate a new large family of simple modules over U _q(gl _n).     

A superalgebra morphism of U q [osp(1/2N)] onto the deformed oscillator superalgebra W q (N)

We prove that the deformed oscillator superalgebra W _q (n) (which in the Fock representation is generated essentially byn pairs ofq-bosons) is a factor algebra of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U _q [osp(1/2n)]. We write down aq-analog of the Cartan-Weyl basis for the deformed osp(1/2n) and also give an oscillator realization of all Cartan-Weyl generators.     

SO q (n+1,n−1) as a real form of SO q (2n,ℂ)

Quantum pseudo-orthogonal groups SO _q (n+1,n–1) are defined as real forms of quantum orthogonal groups SO _q (n+1,n–1) by means of a suitable antilinear involution. In particular, the casen=2 gives a quantized Lorentz group.     

A new realization of the basic representation of A n (1)

The basic representation of A _n ⁽¹⁾ is constructed on a space of paths in (n + 1). A q-analogue of this is also presented. Our construction gives a Lie theoretical proof of a combinatorial identity used in the evaluation of the local state probabilities for a class of solvable lattice models.     

A connection between the representations of U(n) and bases for representations of U(n) ⋇ U(n)

It is shown that a basis for a symmetric representation of U(n) ?U(n) can be constructed from the matrix of a representation of U(n). This result is studied in detail for the Wey bases of U(n).     

Characters of U q (gl(n))-Reflection Equation Algebra

We list characters (one-dimensional representations) of the reflection equation algebra associated with the fundamental vector representation of the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum group _q (gl(n)).     

On the Relation Between U q (sl(2)) Vertex Operators and q-Zonal Functions

We show how the states constructed from the action of the modes of bosonized vertex operators that intertwine U modules are related toq -zonal functions.
