Abstract: (Springer)
We give explicit formulas for the elements of the center of the completed quantum affine algebra in type A at the critical level that are associated with the fundamental representations. We calculate the images of these elements under a Harish-Chandra-type homomorphism. These images coincide with those in the free field realization of the quantum affine algebra and reproduce generators of the q-deformed classical W{{\mathcal W}} -algebra of Frenkel and Reshetikhin.
