Abstract

We compare the reduced Drinfeld doubles of the composition subalgebras of the category of representations of the Kronecker quiver \overrQ\overr{Q} and of the category of coherent sheaves on P1{\mathbb P}^1. Using this approach, we show that the Drinfeld--Beck isomorphism for the quantized enveloping algebra Uv(sl^2)U_v(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2) is a corollary of an equivalence between the derived categories Db(\Rep(\overrQ))D^b\bigl(\Rep(\overr{Q})\bigr) and Db(\Coh(P1))D^b\bigl(\Coh({\mathbb P}^1)\bigr). This technique also allows to reprove several technical results on the integral form of Uv(sl^2)U_v(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2).
