Highest -Weight Representations and Functional Relations
arXiv:1702.08710 · doi:10.3842/SIGMA.2017.043
Abstract
We discuss highest -weight representations of quantum loop algebras and the corresponding functional relations between integrability objects. In particular, we compare the prefundamental and -oscillator representations of the positive Borel subalgebras of the quantum group for arbitrary values of . Our article has partially the nature of a short review, but it also contains new results. These are the expressions for the -operators, and the exact relationship between different representations, as a byproduct resulting in certain conclusions about functional relations.
