Homomorphisms between different quantum toroidal and affine Yangian algebras
Abstract
This paper concerns the relation between the quantum toroidal algebras and the affine Yangians of , denoted by and , respectively. Our motivation arises from the milestone work of Gautam and Toledano Laredo, where a similar relation between the quantum loop algebra and the Yangian has been established by constructing an isomorphism of -algebras (with standing for the appropriate completions). These two completions model the behavior of the algebras in the formal neighborhood of . The same construction can be applied to the toroidal setting with for . In the current paper, we are interested in the more general relation: , where and is an -th root of . Assuming is a primitive -th root of unity, we construct a homomorphism from the completion of the formal version of to the completion of the formal version of . 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.
