The quantum loop algebra conjecture for observables on the cylinder

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra used to define the gauge theory, let Obs⁡q(C××R2)\operatorname{Obs}^q({\mathbb{C}}^\times \times {\mathbb{R}}^2) be the resulting quantized E2E_2-algebra of observables, and let Uℏ(g{z,z−1})U_\hbar(\mathfrak{g}\{z,z^{-1}\}) denote the quantum loop algebra. Quantum loop algebra conjecture. The Hopf algebra Koszul dual to the E2E_2-algebra Obs⁡q(C××R2)\operatorname{Obs}^q({\mathbb{C}}^\times \times {\mathbb{R}}^2) is dual to the quantum loop algebra Uℏ(g{z,z−1})U_\hbar(\mathfrak{g}\{z,z^{-1}\}). There are subtle issues concerning which completion of g[z,z−1]\mathfrak{g}[z,z^{-1}] gives precisely the Koszul dual associated to the cylinder, so the precise formulation may require refinement.
