We apply the construction of the universal lower-bounded generalized twisted modules by the author to construct universal lower-bounded and grading-restricted generalized twisted modules for affine vertex (operator) algebras. We prove that these universal twisted modules for affine vertex (operator) algebras are equivalent to suitable induced modules of the corresponding twisted affine Lie algebra or quotients of such induced modules by explicitly given submodules.
For a grading-restricted vertex superalgebra $V$ and an automorphism $g$ of $V$, we give a linearly independent set of generators of the universal lower-bounded generalized $g$-twisted $V$-module $\widehat{M}^{[g]}_{B}$ constructed by the author in \cite{H-const-twisted-mod}. We prove that there exist irreducible lower-bounded generalized $g$-twisted $V$-modules by showing that there exists a maximal proper submodule of $\widehat{M}^{[g]}_{B}$ for a one-dimensional space $M$. We then give several spanning sets of $\widehat{M}^{[g]}_{B}$ and discuss the relations among elements of the spanning …
We give a general, direct and explicit construction of lower-bounded generalized twisted modules satisfying a universal property for a grading-restricted vertex (super)algebra $V$ associated to an automorphism $g$ of $V$. In particular, when $g$ is the identity, we obtain lower-bounded generalized $V$-modules satisfying a universal property. Let $W$ be a lower-bounded graded vector space equipped with a set of "generating twisted fields" and a set of "generator twist fields" satisfying a weak commutativity for generating twisted fields, a generalized weak commutativity for one generating twist…
After a brief review on the applications of twisted spectral triples to physics, we adapt to the twisted case the notion of real part of a spectral triple. In particular, when one twists a usual spectral triple by its grading, we show that - depending on the $KO$ dimension - the real part is either twisted as well, or is the intersection of the initial algebra with its opposite. We illustrate this result with the spectral triple of the standard model.
We establish the $Q \widetilde{Q}$-systems for the twisted quantum affine algebras that were conjectured in arXiv:1606.05301. We develop the representation theory of Borel subalgebra of twisted quantum affine algebras and we construct their prefundamental representations. We also propose a general conjecture on the relations between twisted and non-twisted types. We prove this conjecture for some particular classes of representations, including prefundamental representations.
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, which include the quantum affine algebras as special cases.
We introduce and study twist vertex operators for a (lower-bounded generalized) twisted modules for a grading-restricted vertex (super)algebra. We prove duality, weak associativity, a Jacobi identity, a generalized commutator formula, generalized weak commutativity, and convergence and commutativity for products of more than two operators involving twist vertex operators. These properties of twist vertex operators play an important role in the author's recent general, direct and explicit construction of (lower-bounded generalized) twisted modules.
In this paper, we prove the categories of lower bounded twisted modules of positive integer levels for simple vertex operator algebras associated with affine Lie algebras and general automorphisms are semisimple, using the twisted generalization of Zhu's algebra for these vertex operator algebras, constructed in \cite{HY}. We also show that the category of lower bounded twisted modules for a general automorphism is equivalent to the category of lower bounded twisted modules for the corresponding diagram automorphism.
Using the bases of principal subspaces for twisted affine Lie algebras except $A_{2l}^{(2)}$ by Butorac and Sadowski, we construct bases of the highest weight modules of highest weight $kΛ_0$ and parafermionic spases for the same affine Lie algebras. As a result, we obtain their character formulas conjectured in arXiv:math/0102113.
We construct combinatorial bases of principal subspaces of standard modules of level $k \geq 1$ with highest weight $kΛ_0$ for the twisted affine Lie algebras of type $A_{2l-1}^{(2)}$, $D_l^{(2)}$, $E_6^{(2)}$ and $D_4^{(3)}$. Using these bases we directly calculate characters of principal subspaces.
We obtain a presentation of principal subspaces of basic modules for the twisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras of type $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$, $D_n^{(2)}$ and $E_6^{(2)}$. Using this presentation, we construct exact sequences among these principal subspaces, and use these exact sequences to obtain recursions satisfied by graded dimensions of the principal subspaces. Solving these recursions, we obtain the graded dimensions of the principal subspaces.
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 for the twisted quantum affine algebras using Lusztig's twisted braid group action.
Let $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$ be the affine Lie algebra of type $A_{2l}^{(2)}$. The integrable highest weight $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$-module $L(kΛ_0)$ called the standard $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$-module is realized by a tensor product of the twisted module $V_L^T$ for the lattice vertex operator algebra $V_L$. By using such vertex algebraic construction, we construct bases of the standard module, its principal subspace and the parafermionic space. As a consequence, we obtain their character formulas and settle the conjecture for vacuum modules stated in arXiv:math/0102113.
We construct new irreducible weight modules over quantum affine algebras of type I with all weight spaces infinite-dimensional. These modules are obtained by parabolic induction from irreducible modules over the Heisenberg subalgebra.
We define the twisted affine Yangian of type $C$ and construct surjective homomorphisms from twisted affine Yangians of type $C$ to the universal enveloping algebra of the rectangular $W$-algebra associated with $\mathfrak{so}(ln)$ and a nilpotent element whose Jordan form corresponds to the partition $(l^n)$ in the case when $l$ and $n$ are even.
This paper focuses on twisted affine quantum algebras: an integer form is chosen, and the center of its specialization at odd roots of 1 (of order bigger than 3 in case D_4^{(3)}, bigger than 1 otherwise) is described.
In this paper, we introduce twisted and folded AR-quivers of type $A_{2n+1}$, $D_{n+1}$, $E_6$ and $D_4$ associated to (triply) twisted Coxeter elements. Using the quivers of type $A_{2n+1}$ and $D_{n+1}$, we describe the denominator formulas and Dorey's rule for quantum affine algebras $U'_q(B^{(1)}_{n+1})$ and $U'_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$, which are important information of representation theory of quantum affine algebras. More precisely, we can read the denominator formulas for $U'_q(B^{(1)}_{n+1})$ (resp. $U'_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$) using certain statistics on any folded AR-quiver of type $A_{2n+1}$ (resp…
The twisted q-Yangians are coideal subalgebras of the quantum affine algebra associated with gl(N). We prove a classification theorem for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the twisted q-Yangians associated with the symplectic Lie algebras sp(2n). The representations are parameterized by their highest weights or by their Drinfeld polynomials. In the simplest case of sp(2) we give an explicit description of all the representations as tensor products of evaluation modules. We prove analogues of the Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem for the quantum affine algebra and for the twisted q…
We provide an observation relating several known and conjectured $q$-series identities to the theory of principal subspaces of basic modules for twisted affine Lie algebras. We also state and prove two new families of $q$-series identities. The first family provides quadruple sum representations for Nandi's identities, including a manifestly positive representation for the first identity. The second is a family of new mod 10 identities connected with principal characters of level 4 integrable, highest-weight modules of $\mathrm{D}_4^{(3)}$.
Following the definition of a root basis of an affine root system, we define a base of the root system of an affine Lie superalgebra to be a linearly independent subset $B$ of its root system such that each root can be written as a linear combination of elements of $B$ with integral coefficients such that all coefficients are nonnegative or all coefficients are nonpositive. Characterization and classification of bases of root systems of affine Lie algebras are known in the literature; in fact, up to $\pm 1$-multiple, each base of an affine root system is conjugate with the standard base under …
In this paper we categorify the Heisenberg action on the Fock space via the category O of cyclotomic rational double affine Hecke algebras. This permits us to relate the filtration by the support on the Grothendieck group of O to a representation theoretic grading defined using the Heisenberg action. This implies a recent conjecture of Etingof.
We construct the twisted Fock module of quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra with a slope $n'/n$ using vertex operators of quantum affine $\mathfrak{gl}_n$. The proof is based on the $q$-wedge construction of an integrable level-one $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_n)$-module and the representation theory of double affine Hecke algebra. The results are consistent with Gorsky-Neguţ conjecture (Kononov-Smirnov theorem) on stable envelopes for Hilbert schemes of points in the plane and can be viewed as a manifestation of $(\mathfrak{gl}_1,\mathfrak{gl}_n)$-duality.
In this paper we generalize Drinfeld's twisted quantum affine algebras to construct twisted quantum algebras for all simply-laced generalized Cartan matrices and present their vertex representation realizations.
We study 2-cocycle twists, or equivalently Zhang twists, of semigroup algebras over a field k. If the underlying semigroup is affine, that is abelian, cancellative and finitely generated, then Spec k[S] is an affine toric variety over k, and we refer to the twists of k[S] as quantum affine toric varieties. We show that every quantum affine toric varieties has a "dense quantum torus", in the sense that it has a localization isomorphic to a quantum torus. We study quantum affine toric varieties and show that many geometric regularity properties survive the deformation process.
We prove a system of relations in the Grothendieck ring of the category O of representations of the Borel subalgebra of an untwisted quantum affine algebra U_q(g^) introduced in [HJ]. This system was discovered in [MRV1, MRV2], where it was shown that solutions of this system can be attached to certain affine opers for the Langlands dual affine Kac-Moody algebra of g^, introduced in [FF5]. Together with the results of [BLZ3, BHK], which enable one to associate quantum g^-KdV Hamiltonians to representations from the category O, this provides strong evidence for the conjecture of [FF5] linking t…
We revisit the free field construction of the deformed $W$-algebra by Frenkel and Reshetikhin [Comm. Math. Phys. 197 (1998), 1-32], where the basic $W$-current has been identified. Herein, we establish a free field construction of higher $W$-currents of the deformed $W$-algebra associated with the twisted affine Lie algebra $A_{2N}^{(2)}$. We obtain a closed set of quadratic relations and duality, which allows us to define deformed $W$-algebra ${\mathcal W}_{x,r}\big(A_{2N}^{(2)}\big)$ using generators and relations.
In this paper, for an arbitrary Kac-Moody Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a diagram automorphism $μ$ of $\mathfrak g$ satisfying certain natural linking conditions, we introduce and study a $μ$-twisted quantum affinization algebra $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_μ\right)$ of $\mathfrak g$. When $\mathfrak g$ is of finite type, $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_μ\right)$ is Drinfeld's current algebra realization of the twisted quantum affine algebra. When $μ=\mathrm{id}$ and $\mathfrak g$ in affine type, $\mathcal U_\hbar\left(\hat{\mathfrak g}_μ\right)$ is the quantum toroidal al…
We modify and give complete proofs for the results of Etingof-Schiffmann-Varchenko on traces of intertwiners of untwisted quantum affine algebras in the opposite coproduct and the standard grading. More precisely, we show that certain normalized generalized traces for $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ solve four commuting systems of q-difference equations: the Macdonald-Ruijsenaars, dual Macdonald-Ruijsenaars, q-KZB, and dual q-KZB equations. In addition, we show a symmetry property for these renormalized trace functions. Our modifications are motivated by their appearance in recent work of the author…
