Free-Field Representation of Group Element for Simple Quantum Group

A representation of the group element (also known as ``universal ${\cal T}$-matrix'') which satisfies $Δ(g) = g\otimes g$, is given in the form $$ g = \left(\prod_{s=1}^{d_B}\phantom.^>\ {\cal E}_{1/q_{i(s)}}(χ^{(s)}T_{-i(s)})\right) q^{2\vecϕ\vec H} \left(\prod_{s=1}^{d_B}\phantom.^<\ {\cal E}_{q_{i(s)}}(ψ^{(s)} T_{+i(s)})\right)$$ where $d_B = \frac{1}{2}(d_G - r_G)$, $q_i = q^{|| \vecα_i||^2/2}$ and $H_i = 2\vec H\vecα_i/||\vecα_i||^2$ and $T_{\pm i}$ are the generators of quantum group associated respectively with Cartan algebra and the {\it simple} roots. The ``free fields'' $χ,\ \vecϕ,\ ψ$ form a Heisenberg-like algebra: $ψ^{(s)}ψ^{(s')} = q^{-\vecα_{i(s)} \vecα_{i(s')}} ψ^{(s')}ψ^{(s)}, & χ^{(s)}χ^{(s')} = q^{-\vecα_{i(s)}\vecα_{i(s')}} χ^{(s')}χ^{(s)}& {\rm for} \ s 0}^{d_B}{\cal E}_{q_{\vecα}}\left(-(q_{\vecα}- q_{\vecα}^{-1})T_{\vecα}\otimes T_{-\vecα}\right).$$

On a Bosonic-Parafermionic Realization of $U_q(\widehat{sl(2)})$

We realize the $U_q(\widehat{sl(2)})$ current algebra at arbitrary level in terms of one deformed free bosonic field and a pair of deformed parafermionic fields. It is shown that the operator product expansions of these parafermionic fields involve an infinite number of simple poles and simple zeros, which then condensate to form a branch cut in the classical limit $q\rightarrow 1$. Our realization coincides with those of Frenkel-Jing and Bernard when the level $k$ takes the values 1 and 2 respectively.

A Quantum Analogue of the Boson-Fermion Correspondence

We review the classical boson-fermion correspondence in the context of the $\widehat{sl(2)}$ current algebra at level 2. This particular algebra is ideal to exhibit this correspondence because it can be realized either in terms of three real bosonic fields or in terms of one real and one complex fermionic fields. We also derive a fermionic realization of the quantum current algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl(2)})$ at level 2 and by comparing this realization with the existing bosonic one we extend the classical correspondence to the quantum case.
