Abstract

We construct two-parameter deformation of an universal enveloping algebra U(g[u])U(g[u]) of a polynomial loop algebra g[u]g[u], where gg is a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra (or superalgebra). This new quantum Hopf algebra called the Drinfeldian Dqη(g)D_{q\eta}(g) can be considered as a quantization of U(g[u])U(g[u]) in the direction of a classical r-matrix which is a sum of the simple rational and trigonometric r-matrices. The Drinfeldian Dqη(g)D_{q\eta}(g) contains Uq(g)U_{q}(g) as a Hopf subalgebra, moreover Uq(g[u])U_{q}(g[u]) and Yη(g)Y_{\eta}(g) are its limit quantum algebras when the Dqη(g)D_{q\eta}(g) deformation parameters η\eta goes to 0 and qq goes to 1, respectively. These results are easy generalized to a supercase, i.e. when gg is a finite-dimensional contragredient simple superalgebra.
