Modified Affine Hecke Algebras and Drinfeldians of Type A

Abstract

We introduce a modified affine Hecke algebra \h{H}^{+}_{q\eta}({l}) (\h{H}_{q\eta}({l})) which depends on two deformation parameters $q$ and $\eta$. When the parameter $\eta$ is equal to zero the algebra \h{H}_{q\eta=0}(l) coincides with the usual affine Hecke algebra \h{H}_{q}(l) of type $A_{l-1}$, if the parameter q goes to 1 the algebra \h{H}^{+}_{q=1\eta}(l) is isomorphic to the degenerate affine Hecke algebra \Lm_{\eta}(l) introduced by Drinfeld. We construct a functor from a category of representations of $H_{q\eta}^{+}(l)$ into a category of representations of Drinfeldian $D_{q\eta}(sl(n+1))$ which has been introduced by the first author.Comment: 11 pages, LATEX.
