Generalizations of Felder's elliptic dynamical r-matrices associated with twisted loop algebras of self-dual Lie algebras

Abstract

A dynamical $r$-matrix is associated with every self-dual Lie algebra \A which is graded by finite-dimensional subspaces as \A=\oplus_{n \in \cZ} \A_n, where \A_n is dual to \A_{-n} with respect to the invariant scalar product on \A, and \A_0 admits a nonempty open subset \check \A_0 for which \ad \kappa is invertible on \A_n if $n\neq 0$ and \kappa \in \check \A_0. Examples are furnished by taking \A to be an affine Lie algebra obtained from the central extension of a twisted loop algebra \ell(\G,\mu) of a finite-dimensional self-dual Lie algebra \G. These $r$-matrices, R: \check \A_0 \to \mathrm{End}(\A), yield generalizations of the basic trigonometric dynamical $r$-matrices that, according to Etingof and Varchenko, are associated with the Coxeter automorphisms of the simple Lie algebras, and are related to Felder's elliptic $r$-matrices by evaluation homomorphisms of \ell(\G,\mu) into \G. The spectral-parameter-dependent dynamical $r$-matrix that corresponds analogously to an arbitrary scalar-product-preserving finite order automorphism of a self-dual Lie algebra is here calculated explicitly.Comment: LaTeX2e, 22 pages.
