The Drinfeld twist for the opposite quasi-Hopf algebra is determined and is shown to be related to the (second) Drinfeld twist. The twisted Drinfeld twist is investigated. In the quasi-triangular case it is shown that the Drinfeld u…
Let $(g,\delta_\hbar)$ be a Lie bialgebra. Let $(U_\hbar(g),\Delta_\hbar)$ a quantization of $(g,\delta_\hbar)$ through Etingof-Kazhdan functor. We prove the existence of a $L_\infty$-morphism between the Lie algebra $C(\g)=\Lambda(g)$ and…
We construct a commutative current operator $\bar x^+(z)$ inside $U_q(\hat{\frak sl}(2))$. With this operator and the condition of quantum integrability on the quantum current of $U_q(\hat{\frak sl}(2))$, we derive the quantization of the…
The Drinfled realization of quantum affine algebras has been tremendously useful since its discovery. Combining techniques of Beck and Nakajima with our previous approach, we give a complete and conceptual proof of the Drinfeld realization…
The most disappointing aspect of $\W$-strings is probably the fact that at least for the known models one does not recover a physical spectrum that differs much from that of ordinary string theory. It is hoped that this is not an intrinsic…
By quantizing the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction scheme for arbitrary $sl_2$ embeddings we show that a large set $\cal W$ of quantum W algebras can be viewed as (BRST) cohomologies of affine Lie algebras. The set $\cal W$ contains…
Let q be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $\theta$ an automorphism of q of order m. We extend $\theta$ to an automorphism of the loop algebra of q and consider the fixed-point subalgebra $q[t,t^{-1}]^{\theta}$. Using a splitting of…
We consider factorization problem for differential operators on the commutative algebra of densities (defined either algebraically or in terms of an auxiliary extended manifold) introduced in 2004 by Khudaverdian and Voronov in connection…
We establish Drinfeld realization for the two-parameter twisted quantum affine algebras using a new method. The Hopf algebra structure for Drinfeld generators is given for both untwisted and twisted two-parameter quantum affine algebras,…
With a view towards applications for de Sitter, we construct the multi-parametric $q$-deformation of the $so(5,\IC)$ algebra using the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtadzhyan (FRT) formalism.
Two "quantum enveloping algebras", here denoted by $U(R)$ and $U^{\sim}(R)$, are associated in [FRTa] and [FRTb] to any Yang-Baxter operator R. The latter is only a bialgebra, in general; the former is a Hopf algebra. In this paper, we…
In this paper we study an analogue of the Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand category $\mathcal{O}$ for truncated current Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}_n$ attached to a complex semisimple Lie algebra. This category admits Verma modules and simple…
A superspace formulation for the Batalin Vilkovisky formalism (also called field-antifield quantization ) with extended BRST invariance (BRST and anti-BRST invariance ) for gauge theories with closed algebra is presented. In contrast to a…
The Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is applied to quantise the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric generalisation of the Freedman-Townsend (FT) model, which was proposed by Lindstr\"om and Ro\v{c}ek in 1983 in Minkowski superspace and is lifted to a…
Let $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, with its Sklyanin-Drinfel'd structure of Lie bialgebra, and let $\hat{\mathfrak{h}}$ be the dual Lie bialgebra. By dualizing the quantum double construction - via formal…
The universal $R$ operator for the positive representations of split real quantum groups is computed, generalizing the formula of compact quantum groups $U_q(g)$ by Kirillov-Reshetikhin and Levendorski\u{\i}-Soibelman, and the formula in…
We define deformations of W-algebras associated to complex semi-simple Lie algebras by means of quantum Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction procedure for affine quantum groups. We also introduce Wakimoto modules for arbitrary affine quantum groups…
New trigonometric and rational solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (QYBE) are obtained by applying some singular gauge transformations to the known Belavin-Drinfeld elliptic R-matrix for $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$. These solutions are…
In this paper free field realizations of affine current superalgebras are considered. Based on quantizing differential operator realizations of the corresponding basic Lie superalgebras, general and simple expressions for both the bosonic…
