Abstract

In this paper, for an arbitrary Kac-Moody Lie algebra g\mathfrak g and a diagram automorphism μ\mu of g\mathfrak g satisfying certain natural linking conditions, we introduce and study a μ\mu-twisted quantum affinization algebra U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right) of g\mathfrak g. When g\mathfrak g is of finite type, U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right) is Drinfeld's current algebra realization of the twisted quantum affine algebra. When μ=id\mu=\mathrm{id} and g\mathfrak g in affine type, U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right) is the quantum toroidal algebra introduced by Ginzburg, Kapranov and Vasserot. As the main results of this paper, we first prove a triangular decomposition for U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right). Second, we give a simple characterization of the affine quantum Serre relations on restricted U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)-modules in terms of "normal order products". Third, we prove that the category of restricted U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right)-modules is a monoidal category and hence obtain a topological Hopf algebra structure on the "restricted completion" of U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right). Last, we study the classical limit of U(g^μ)\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_\mu\right) and abridge it to the quantization theory of extended affine Lie algebras. In particular, based on a classification result of Allison-Berman-Pianzola, we obtain the \hbar-deformation of all nullity 22 extended affine Lie algebras.
