Abstract:
An elliptic deformation of slundefined2\widehat{sl}_2 is proposed. Our presentation of the algebra is based on the relation RLL=LLR RLL=LLR~*, where RR and R R~* are eight-vertex RR-matrices with the elliptic moduli chosen differently. In the trigonometric limit, this algebra reduces to a quotient of that proposed by Reshetikhin and Semenov-Tian-Shansky. Conjectures concerning highest weight modules and vertex operators are formulated, and the physical interpretation of R R~* is discussed.
