Central elements for quantum affine algebras and affine Macdonald's operators

q-alg 2008-02-03 v1 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We describe a generalization of Drinfeld's description of the center of a quantum group to the case of quantum affine algebras. We use the obtained central elements to construct the affine analogue of Macdonald's difference operators.
