Abstract

This paper concerns the relation between the quantum toroidal algebras and the affine Yangians of sln\mathfrak{sl}_n, denoted by Uq1,q2,q3(n)\mathcal{U}^{(n)}_{q_1,q_2,q_3} and Yh1,h2,h3(n)\mathcal{Y}^{(n)}_{h_1,h_2,h_3}, respectively. Our motivation arises from the milestone work of Gautam and Toledano Laredo, where a similar relation between the quantum loop algebra Uq(Lg)U_q(L \mathfrak{g}) and the Yangian Yh(g)Y_h(\mathfrak{g}) has been established by constructing an isomorphism of C[[]]\mathbb{C}[[\hbar]]-algebras Φ:U^exp()(Lg)Y^(g)\Phi:\widehat{U}_{\exp(\hbar)}(L\mathfrak{g})\to \widehat{Y}_\hbar(\mathfrak{g}) (with  ^ \ \widehat{}\ standing for the appropriate completions). These two completions model the behavior of the algebras in the formal neighborhood of h=0h=0. The same construction can be applied to the toroidal setting with qi=exp(i)q_i=\exp(\hbar_i) for i=1,2,3i=1,2,3. In the current paper, we are interested in the more general relation: q1=ωmneh1/m,q2=eh2/m,q3=ωmn1eh3/m\mathrm{q}_1=\omega_{mn}e^{h_1/m}, \mathrm{q}_2=e^{h_2/m}, \mathrm{q}_3=\omega_{mn}^{-1}e^{h_3/m}, where m,nNm,n\in \mathbb{N} and ωmn\omega_{mn} is an mnmn-th root of 11. Assuming ωmnm\omega_{mn}^m is a primitive nn-th root of unity, we construct a homomorphism Φm,nωmn\Phi^{\omega_{mn}}_{m,n} from the completion of the formal version of Uq1,q2,q3(m)\mathcal{U}^{(m)}_{\mathrm{q}_1,\mathrm{q}_2,\mathrm{q}_3} to the completion of the formal version of Yh1/mn,h2/mn,h3/mn(mn)\mathcal{Y}^{(mn)}_{h_1/mn,h_2/mn,h_3/mn}. We propose two proofs of this result: (1) by constructing the compatible isomorphism between the faithful representations of the algebras; (2) by combining the direct verification of Gautam and Toledano Laredo for the classical setting with the shuffle approach.
