What is $\left[ \begin{array}{c} K_i;0\\ \ell\\ \end{array} \right] _{\varepsilon _i}$ in the restricted specialization in QUE algebras?
I have a question about the book A Guide to Quantum Groups written by Vyjayanthi Chari and Andrew Pressley. It comes from section $9.3$ on page $300$ of this book
In Section 9.1, the authors define ...

How to get $U(N)_k$ Kac-Moody modules and characters from $N \cdot k$ Dirac Fermions using $U(N \cdot k)_1 / SU(k)_N$?
It is known that the $U(N)_k$ Kac-Moody algebra can be written as the coset $U(N)_k = U(N \cdot k)_1 / SU(k)_N$. (This fact is related to the level-rank duality of $U(N)_k \leftrightarrow U(k)_N$.) A ...

Reasons about the difference between twisted affine algebras of $A_{2l}$ and other types
I am reading about Kac–Moody algebras. I have a question about the construction of twisted affine algebras.
Let $\sigma$ be a graph automorphism of the simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$.
When $\...

Relation between the modular categories SU(2)_n and Sp(n)_1
The online database [1] provides a list of some modular tensor categories classified by rank. Let us consider the two modular categories denoted kmA1_$\ell$ and kmC$\ell$_1 (i.e. Kac Moody $A_1$ level ...

Affine Kac-Moody algebra from quantum group exchange algebra
In `Hidden Quantum Groups Inside Kac-Moody Algebra', by Alekseev, Faddeev, and Semenov-Tian-Shansky, a relationship between quantum groups and affine Kac-Moody algebras is shown for the WZW model.

Hopf algebras structure and quantum affine algebras
I'm looking for some information about the Hopf algebras structure and the quantum groups.
In particularly I was wondering if (and eventually where) is defined in the case of quantum affine algebras ...

How does an element $T\left(z\right)$ act on a $\mathcal{U}_{q}\left(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{sl}_{2}\right)\left[\left[z\right]\right]$-module?
Context
Let $V$ be a 2-dimensional evaluation representation of the quantum loop algebra $\mathcal{U}_{q}\left(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{sl}_{2}\right)$ with $a=q$. Also, for $m\in\mathbb{Z}$, the ...

exceptional cases in Kazhdan-Lusztig
The Kazhdan-Lusztig story doesn't apply to the four exceptional cases $(E_6)_1$, $(E_7)_1$, $(E_8)_1$, $(E_8)_2$ (see this earlier question of mine).
What's special about those cases?
