Higher Sugawara operators for the quantum affine algebras of type A

14 May 2015  ·  Frappat Luc, Jing Naihuan, Molev Alexander, Ragoucy Eric ·

We give explicit formulas for the elements of the center of the completed quantum affine algebra in type $A$ at the critical level which 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 $W$-algebra of Frenkel and Reshetikhin.
