We determine explicit quantum seeds for classes of quantized matrix algebras. Furthermore, we obtain results on centers and block diagonal forms {of these algebras.} In the case where $q$ is {an arbitrary} root of unity, this further determines the degrees.
The deformed $mathcal W$ algebras of type $textsf{A}$ have a uniform description in terms of the quantum toroidal $mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra $mathcal E$. We introduce a comodule algebra $mathcal K$ over $mathcal E$ which gives a uniform construction of basic deformed $mathcal W$ currents and screening operators in types $textsf{B},textsf{C},textsf{D}$ including twisted and supersymmetric cases. We show that a completion of algebra $mathcal K$ contains three commutative subalgebras. In particular, it allows us to obtain a commutative family of integrals of motion associated with affine Dynkin diagrams of all non-exceptional types except $textsf{D}^{(2)}_{ell+1}$. We also obtain in a uniform way deformed finite and affine Cartan matrices in all classical types together with a number of new examples, and discuss the corresponding screening operators.
We identify the Taylor coefficients of the transfer matrices corresponding to quantum toroidal algebras with the elliptic local and non-local integrals of motion introduced by Kojima, Shiraishi, Watanabe, and one of the authors. That allows us to prove the Litvinov conjectures on the Intermediate Long Wave model. We also discuss the (gl(m),gl(n)) duality of XXZ models in quantum toroidal setting and the implications for the quantum KdV model. In particular, we conjecture that the spectrum of non-local integrals of motion of Bazhanov, Lukyanov, and Zamolodchikov is described by Gaudin Bethe ansatz equations associated to affine sl(2).
We determine what should correspond to the Dirac operator on certain quantized hermitian symmetric spaces and what its properties are. A new insight into the quantized wave operator is obtained.
The affine evaluation map is a surjective homomorphism from the quantum toroidal ${mathfrak {gl}}_n$ algebra ${mathcal E}_n(q_1,q_2,q_3)$ to the quantum affine algebra $U_qwidehat{mathfrak {gl}}_n$ at level $kappa$ completed with respect to the homogeneous grading, where $q_2=q^2$ and $q_3^n=kappa^2$. We discuss ${mathcal E}_n(q_1,q_2,q_3)$ evaluation modules. We give highest weights of evaluation highest weight modules. We also obtain the decomposition of the evaluation Wakimoto module with respect to a Gelfand-Zeitlin type subalgebra of a completion of ${mathcal E}_n(q_1,q_2,q_3)$, which describes a deformation of the coset theory $widehat{mathfrak {gl}}_n/widehat{mathfrak {gl}}_{n-1}$.
We provide a ribbon tensor equivalence between the representation category of small quantum SL(2), at parameter q=exp($pi$ i/p), and the representation category of the triplet vertex operator algebra at integral parameter p>1. We provide similar quantum group equivalences for representation categories associated to the Virasoro, and singlet vertex operator algebras at central charge c=1-6(p-1)^2/p. These results resolve a number of fundamental conjectures coming from studies of logarithmic CFTs in type A_1.
