Abstract

Description

We give a realization of the quantum affine Lie algebras $\uqa$ and $\uqc$ in terms of anyons defined on a one-dimensional chain (or on a two-dimensional lattice), the deformation parameter $q$ being related to the statistical parameter $ν$ of the anyons by $q = e^{iπν}$. In the limit of the deformation parameter going to one we recover the Feingold-Frenkel fermionic construction of undeformed affine Lie algebras.
