Tetrahedron Equation and Quantum R Matrices for Modular Double of \({{\varvec{{U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1})}}, \varvec{{U_q (A ^{(2)}_{2n})}}}}\) and \(\varvec{{U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})}}\)

Abstract

We introduce a homomorphism from the quantum affine algebras \({U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1}), U_q (A^{(2)}_{2n})}\), \({U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})}\) to the n-fold tensor product of the q-oscillator algebra \({\mathcal{A}_q}\). Their action commutes with the solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation obtained by reducing the solutions of the tetrahedron equation associated with the modular and the Fock representations of \({\mathcal{A}_q}\). In the former case, the commutativity is enhanced to the modular double of these quantum affine algebras.
