We find an explicit formula for the conformal vector of any quantum affine $W$-algebra in its free field realization.
We study the structure and representations of a family of vertex algebras obtained from affine superalgebras by quantum reduction. As an application, we obtain in a unified way free field realizations and determinant formulas for all…
A Fock representation of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\sl}_2)$ is constructed by three bosonic fields for an arbitrary level with the help of the Drinfeld realization.
We consider the spin $k/2$ XXZ model in the antiferomagnetic regime using the free field realization of the quantum affine algebra $\uqa$ of level $k$. We give a free field realization of the type II $q$-vertex operator, which describes…
Solutions of the qKZ equation associated with the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$ and its two dimensional evaluation representation are studied. The integral formulae derived from the free field realization of intertwining…
Deformed $\W$--algebra $\W_{q,t}(\g)$ associated to an arbitrary simple Lie algebra $\g$ is defined together with its free field realizations and the screening operators. Explicit formulas are given for generators of $\W_{q,t}(\g)$ when…
We investigate the W-algebra resulting from Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of a $B_2$ WZW model with respect to the grading induced by a short root. The quantum algebra, which is generated by three fields of spin-2 and a field of spin-1, is…
In this survey, we review some of the recent connections between the representation theory of (untwisted) quantum affine algebras and the representation theory of current algebras. We mainly focus on the finite-dimensional representations…
Today's quantum field theory (QFT) relies heavenly on canonical quantization (CQ), which fails for $\varphi^4_4$ leading only to a "free" result. Affine quantization (AQ), an alternative quantization procedure, leads to a "non-free" result…
We define and compute explicitly the classical limit of the realizations of $W_n$ appearing as hamiltonian structures of generalized KdV hierarchies. The classical limit is obtained by taking the commutative limit of the ring of…
We study the classical and quantum $G$ extended superconformal algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras, with even subalgebras $G\oplus sl(2)$. At the classical level we obtain generic formulas for the Poisson…
We construct a free field realization of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(\hat{sl}(N|1))$ for an arbitrary level $k \in {\mathbb C}$.
A representation of the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{sl_{2}})$ of an arbitrary level $k$ is realized in terms of three boson fields, whose $q \rightarrow 1$ limit becomes the Wakimoto representation. An analogue of the screening…
Present day quantum field theory (QFT) is founded on canonical quantization, which has served quite well, but also has led to several issues. The free field describing a free particle (with no interaction term) can suddenly become…
It is well-known that there exist infinitely-many inequivalent representations of the canonical (anti)-commutation relations of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). A way out, suggested by Algebraic QFT, is to instead define the quantum theory as…
We show that many well-known quantum field theories emerge as representations of a single $^\ast$-algebra. These include free quantum field theories in flat and curved space-times, lattice quantum field theories, Wightman quantum field…
We discuss quantum deformation of the affine transformation algebra. It is shown that the quantum algebra has a non-cocommutative Hopf algebra structure, simple realizations and quantum tensor operators.
The Wakimoto construction for the quantum affine algebra U_q(\hat{sl}_2) admits a reduction to the q-deformed parafermion algebras. We interpret the latter theory as a free field realization of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester models in regime…
Quantization of the free Maxwell field in Minkowski space is carried out using a loop representation and shown to be equivalent to the standard Fock quantization. Because it is based on coherent state methods, this framework may be useful…
We develop the method of the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras to obtain explicit and general expressions both for the classical and the quantum extended superconformal algebras. By performing the gauge transformation which…
