Abstract

From the time-independent current \tcj(yˉ,kˉ)\tcj(\bar y,\bar k) in the quantum self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) theory, we construct new group-valued quantum fields U~(yˉ,kˉ)\tilde U(\bar y,\bar k) and Uˉ1(yˉ,kˉ)\bar U^{-1}(\bar y,\bar k) which satisfy a set of exchange algebras such that fields of \tcj(yˉ,kˉ)U~(yˉ,kˉ) yˉ U~1(yˉ,kˉ)\tcj(\bar y,\bar k)\sim\tilde U(\bar y,\bar k)~\partial\bar y~\tilde U^{-1}(\bar y,\bar k) satisfy the original time-independent current algebras. For the correlation functions of the products of the U~(yˉ,kˉ)\tilde U(\bar y,\bar k) and U~1(yˉ,kˉ)\tilde U^{-1}(\bar y,\bar k) fields defined in the invariant state constructed through the current \tcj(yˉ,kˉ)\tcj(\bar y,\bar k) we can derive the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (K-Z) equations with an additional spatial dependence on kˉ\bar k. From the U~(yˉ,kˉ)\tilde U(\bar y,\bar k) and U~1(yˉ,kˉ)\tilde U^{-1}(\bar y,\bar k) fields we construct the quantum-group generators --- local, global, and semi-local --- and their algebraic relations. For the correlation functions of the products of the U~\tilde U and U~1\tilde U^{-1} fields defined in the invariant state constructed through the semi-local quantum-group generators we obtain the quantum-group difference equations. We give the explicit solution to the two point function.
