Quantum Algebra 2026-01-29 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we first review the definition of the novel quantum affine algebra Uq(sl^2)U_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2) of type A1(1)A_{1}^{(1)} given in \cite{FHZ, HZhuang}. Furthermore, by introducing Ω\Omega-invariant generating functions, we construct the Drinfeld realization UqD(sl^2)U^{D}_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2) of this algebra, and prove that Uq(sl^2)U_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2) and UqD(sl^2)U^{D}_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2) are algebraically isomorphic, which is known as the Drinfeld Isomorphism.
