We give a simplified description of quantum affine algebras in their loop presentation. This description is related to Drinfeld's new realization via halves of vertex operators. We also define an idempotent version of the quantum affine…

In our preceding research, we introduced the Drinfeld presentation of the quantum affine superalgebra associated to the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(2m+1|2n)$ for $m>0$. We provided the isomorphism between its…

In this paper we shall prove that the subalgebra generated over the integers by the divided powers of the Drinfeld generators $x_r^{\pm}$ of the Kac-Moody algebra of type $A_2^{(2)}$ is an integral form (strictly smaller than Mitzman's (see…

Fix an affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}_\kappa$ with associated principal affine W-algebra $\mathcal{W}_\kappa$. A basic conjecture of Frenkel--Kac--Wakimoto asserts that Drinfeld--Sokolov reduction sends admissible…

We define an integral form of shifted quantum affine algebras of type $A$ and construct Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt-Drinfeld bases for them. When the shift is trivial, our integral form coincides with the RTT integral form. We prove that these…

In this review, we present a general framework for the construction of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras associated to higher-dimensional manifolds. Starting from the classical case of loop algebras on the circle $\mathbb{S}^{1}$, we extend the…

We introduce a higher dimensional generalization of the affine Kac-Moody algebra using the language of factorization algebras. In particular, on any complex manifold there is a factorization algebra of "currents" associated to any Lie…

In this work, we introduce Urod algebras associated to simply-laced Lie algebras as well as the concept of translation of W-algebras. Both results are achieved by showing that the quantum Hamiltonian reduction commutes with tensoring with…

This paper is a continuation of the series of papers "Quantization of Lie bialgebras (QLB) I-V". We show that the image of a Kac-Moody Lie bialgebra with the standard quasitriangular structure under the quantization functor defined in…

We first construct an action of the extended double affine braid group $\mathcal{\ddot{B}}$ on the quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathrm{tor}})$ in untwisted and twisted types. As a crucial step in the proof, we obtain a…

Following the approach of Ding and Frenkel [Comm. Math. Phys. 156 (1993), 277-300] for type $A$, we showed in our previous work [J. Math. Phys. 61 (2020), 031701, 41 pages] that the Gauss decomposition of the generator matrix in the…
