From the Tetrahedron Equation to Universal R-Matrices

Quantum Algebra 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Modified universal R-matrices, associated with the central extension (through the Drinfeld's double construction) of the quantum groups U_q(sl_n), are realized through an infinite dimensional spectral parameter dependent solution for the tetrahedron equation, provided a certain identity on qq-exponentials holds true.
