Abstract

Using free field representation of quantum affine algebra Uq(sl2^)U_q(\widehat{sl_2}), we investigate the structure of the Fock modules over Uq(sl2^)U_q(\widehat{sl_2}). The analisys is based on a qq-analog of the BRST formalism given by Bernard and Felder in the affine Kac-Moody algebra sl2^\widehat {sl_2}. We give an explicit construction of the singular vectors using the BRST charge. By the same cohomology analysis as the classical case (q=1q=1), we obtain the irreducible highest weight representation space as a nontrivial cohomology group. This enables us to calculate a trace of the qq-vertex operators over this space.
