Abstract
We introduce a category \(\widehat{\mathcal {O}}_{\textrm{osc}}\) of q-oscillator representations of the quantum affine algebra \(U_q({\widehat{\mathfrak {gl}}}_n)\). We show that \(\widehat{\mathcal {O}}_{\textrm{osc}}\) has a family of irreducible representations, which naturally corresponds to finite-dimensional irreducible representations of quantum affine algebra of untwisted affine type A. It is done by constructing a category of q-oscillator representations of the quantum affine superalgebra of type A, which interpolates these two families of irreducible representations. The category \(\widehat{\mathcal {O}}_{\textrm{osc}}\) can be viewed as a quantum affine analogue of the semisimple tensor category generated by unitarizable highest weight representations of \(\mathfrak {gl}_{u+v}\) (\(n=u+v\)) appearing in the \((\mathfrak {gl}_{u+v},\mathfrak {gl}_\ell )\)-duality on a bosonic Fock space.
