Fock Space Representation of the Circle Quantum Group
Abstract In [12] we have defined quantum groups $\mathbf{U}_{\upsilon }(\mathfrak{sl}(\mathbb{R}))$ and $\mathbf{U}_{\upsilon }(\mathfrak{sl}(S^1))$, which can be interpreted as continuum generalizations of the quantum groups of the Kac–Moody Lie algebras of finite, respectively affine type $A$. In the present paper, we define the Fock space representation $\mathcal{F}_{\mathbb{R}}$ of the quantum group $\mathbf{U}_{\upsilon }(\mathfrak{sl}(\mathbb{R}))$ as the vector space generated by real pyramids (a continuum generalization of the notion of partition). In addition, by using a variant version of the “folding procedure” of Hayashi–Misra–Miwa, we define an action of $\mathbf{U}_{\upsilon }(\mathfrak{sl}(S^1))$ on $\mathcal{F}_{\mathbb{R}}$.
