The composition Hall algebra of a weighted projective line

Abstract

Abstract In this article, we deal with properties of the reduced Drinfeld double of the composition subalgebra of the Hall algebra of the category of coherent sheaves on a weighted projective line. This study is motivated by applications in the theory of quantized enveloping algebras of some Lie algebras. We obtain a new realization of the quantized enveloping algebras of affine Lie algebras of simply-laced types as well as some new embeddings between them. Moreover, our approach allows to derive new results on the structure of the quantized enveloping algebras of the toroidal algebras of types D4(1, 1), E6(1, 1), E7(1, 1) and E8(1, 1). In particular, our method leads to a construction of a modular action and allows to define a PBW-type basis for that classes of algebras.
