Fusion and specialization for type ADE shuffle algebras

Abstract

UDC 512.5

Root vectors in quantum groups (of finite type) are generalized to fused currents in quantum loop groups [J. Ding, S. Khoroshkin, Transform. Groups, 5, №1, 35–59 (2000)].  We construct fused currents as duals to specialization maps of the corresponding shuffle algebras [B. Enriquez, Transform. Groups, 5, №2, 111–120 (2000), B. Enriquez, J. Lie Theory, 13, №1, 21–64 (2003), and B. Feigin, A. Odesskii, NATO Sci., Ser. II, Math. Phys. Chem., 35 (2001)] for the ADE types; an approach, which has a potential for generalization to arbitrary Kac–Moody types.   Both root vectors and fused currents depend on a convex order of the positive roots and, in the present paper, we choose the Auslander–Reiten order [C. Ringel, J. reine und angew. Math., 470, 51–88 (1996)] corresponding to the orientation of the  ADE-type Dynkin diagram.
