This is a continuation of a previous study initiated by the third author on nonlocal vertex bialgebras and smash product nonlocal vertex algebras. In this paper, we study a notion of right H -comodule nonlocal vertex algebra for a nonlocal vertex bialgebra H and give a construction of deformations of vertex algebras with a right H -comodule nonlocal vertex algebra structure and a compatible H -module nonlocal vertex algebra structure. We also give a construction of ϕ -coordinated quasi modules for smash product nonlocal vertex algebras. As an example, we give a family of quantum vertex algebras by deforming the vertex algebras associated to non-degenerate even lattices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we give an explicit realization of all irreducible modules in Chari's category \widetilde {\mathcal O} for the affine Kac-Moody algebra A_{1}^{(1)} by using the idea of free fields. We work on a much more general setting which also gives us explicit realizations of all simple weight modules for certain current algebra of \mathfrak {sl}_2(\mathbb {C}) with finite weight multiplicities, including the polynomial current algebra \mathfrak {sl}_2(\mathbb {C})\otimes \mathbb {C}[t], the loop algebra \mathfrak {sl}_2(\mathbb {C})\otimes \mathbb {C}[t,t^{-1}] and the three-point Lie algebra \mathfrak {sl}_2(\mathbb {C})\otimes \mathbb {C}[t,t^{-1},(t-1)^{-1}] arisen in the work by Kazhdan-Lusztig.

In this paper, for an arbitrary Kac-Moody Lie algebra {\mathfrak g} and a diagram automorphism \mu of {\mathfrak g} satisfying certain natural linking conditions, we introduce and study a \mu-twisted quantum affinization algebra {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right) of {\mathfrak g}. When {\mathfrak g} is of finite type, {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right) is Drinfeld's current algebra realization of the twisted quantum affine algebra. When \mu =\mathrm {id} and {\mathfrak g} in affine type, {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right) is the quantum toroidal algebra introduced by Ginzburg, Kapranov and Vasserot. As the main results of this paper, we first prove a triangular decomposition for {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right). Second, we give a simple characterization of the affine quantum Serre relations on restricted {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right)-modules in terms of "normal order products". Third, we prove that the category of restricted {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right)-modules is a monoidal category and hence obtain a topological Hopf algebra structure on the "restricted completion" of {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right). Last, we study the classical limit of {\mathcal U}_\hbar \left (\hat {\mathfrak g}_\mu \right) and abridge it to the quantization theory of extended affine Lie algebras. In particular, based on a classification result of Allison-Berman-Pianzola, we obtain the \hbar-deformation of all nullity 2 extended affine Lie algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let g be the derived subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra of finite-type or affine-type, let μ be a diagram automorphism of g, and let L(g,μ) be the loop algebra of g associated to μ. In this paper, by using the vertex algebra technique, we provide a general construction of current-type presentations for the universal central extension g[μ] of L(g,μ). The construction contains the classical limit of Drinfeld's new realization for (twisted and untwisted) quantum affine algebras [Soviet Math. Dokl. 36 (1988), pp. 212-216] and the Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation for toroidal Lie algebras [Geom. Dedicata 35 (1990), pp. 283-307] as special examples. As an application, when g is of simply-laced-type, we prove that the classical limit of the μ-twisted quantum affinization of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra associated to g introduced in [J. Math. Phys. 59 (2018), 081701] is the universal enveloping algebra of g[μ]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The conjugate-linear anti-involutions and unitary irreducible modules of the intermediate series over the twisted Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra are classified, respectively. We prove that any unitary irreducible module of the intermediate series over the twisted Heisenberg–Virasoro algebra is of the form A a , b , c for a ∈ ℝ , b ∈ 1 2 + − 1 ℝ and c ∈ ℂ.
