Affinization of $q$-oscillator representations of $U_q({\mathfrak{gl}}_n)$

Abstract

We introduce a category ${\hat{\mathcal{O}}}_{\mathrm{osc}}$ of $q$-oscillator representations of the quantum affine algebra $U_q({\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}}_n)$. We show that ${\hat{\mathcal{O}}}_{\mathrm{osc}}$ has a family of irreducible representations, which naturally corresponds to finite-dimensional irreducible representations of quantum affine algebra of untwisted affine type $A$. It is done by constructing a category of $q$-oscillator representations of the quantum affine superalgebra of type $A$, which interpolates these two family of irreducible representations. The category ${\hat{\mathcal{O}}}_{\mathrm{osc}}$ can be viewed as a quantum affine analogue of the semisimple tensor category generated by unitarizable highest weight representations of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_{u+v}$ ($n=u+v$) appearing in the $({\mathfrak{gl}}_{u+v},{\mathfrak{gl}}_{\ell })$-duality on a bosonic Fock space.
