Abstract. We introduce an algebra Kn which has a structure of a left comodule over the
quantum toroidal algebra of type An−1. Algebra Kn is a higher rank generalization of K1,
which provides a uniform description of deformed W algebras associated with Lie (super)al-
gebras of types BCD. We show that Kn possesses a family of commutative subalgebras.

1 Introduction
Integrable systems originated in quantum toroidal algebras have been drawing a lot of attention
in recent years, see [1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16], to name a few. In this paper we continue
the study launched in [7] concerning deformed W algebras and a quantum toroidal version of
integrable models with reflections in the spirit of [21].
The work [7] is based on a new algebra K1 generated by current E(z), Heisenberg half-cur-
rents K±(z), and a central element C. In various representations the current E(z) recovers
the fundamental current of known deformed W algebras of types BCD as well as their su-
persymmetric analogs. It was shown that K1 has a family of commuting elements {IN}∞N=1
called integrals of motion. The element IN is written as an N -fold integral of the product
E(zN ) · · ·E(z1) with the explicit elliptic kernel of [19]. Here E(z) is the dressed current of the
form E(z) = E(z)K+(z)−1, where K+(z) is given in terms of K+(z). In the representations
corresponding to deformed W algebras, the integrals of motion IN are deformations of local
integrals of motion in the W algebras, see [2].
In the present paper we generalize this construction by introducing algebrasKn for n > 1. The
algebra Kn depends on parameters q1, q2 = q2, and is generated by currents E1(z), . . . , En(z),
Heisenberg half-currents K±
1 (z), . . . ,K±
n (z), and a central element C. We show that it has the
following key properties:

� Algebra Kn has essentially the same size as the Borel subalgebra of quantum toroidal gln
algebra En; see Remark 3.1.
� For m < n, algebra Km can be obtained as a subalgebra of Kn using the fusion procedure
in the same way as Em is found as a subalgebra of En in [3]; see Proposition 6.2.
� Algebra Kn is a left comodule over quantum toroidal algebra En; see Theorem 3.4.
� Algebra Kn has two “boundary” modules FD of level C = q−1 and FB of level C = q1/2;
see Lemmas 3.5 and 3.6.
� AlgebraKn has a family of commuting integrals of motion {IN}∞N=1, such that IN is an nN -
fold integral of a current given by an ordered product of the form
∏↶
1≤i≤n
∏↶
1≤a≤N Ei(za)
together with the kernel of [12]; see (4.9) and Theorem 4.2. Here the dressed currents have
the form Ei(z) = K−
i (z)
−1Ei(z), where K−
i (z) is given in terms of K−
i (z).1
Here we should make a disclaimer: the relations of Kn involve infinite sums, so that an
appropriate completion is necessary. The same is true with the fusion procedure. Also the
comodule map is defined at the level of a class of representations called admissible ones.
These properties ensure that Kn has a rich representation theory. At least, we have rep-
resentations of the form V ⊗W , where W is one of the two boundary modules and V is any
admissible En module. Here by an admissible module we mean a homogeneously graded module
with the degree bounded from above; for example any tensor product of Fock modules (or, more
generally, modules with highest weight with respect to the “rotated” set of generators) is admis-
sible. Then, under a mild restriction on parameters q1, q2 and the level C, in any Kn module
we have an integrable system given by action of {IN}. This is the principal result of this paper.
For n = 1, this system is related to the system with reflections, see [7, Section 5.1], and the
Bethe ansatz for it is studied in [16] in the setting of affine Yangians. Although the expressions
of {IN} are non-local, we shall sometimes refer to them as “local” integrals of motion, since in
the case n = 1 they are deformations of local ones as already mentioned.
We do not completely understand the nature of algebras Kn. The Kn algebras we discuss
here are of A type. Similar algebras can be defined in the same way for arbitrary simply
laced types, though the construction of integrals of motion is more challenging. At first glance,
algebra Kn bears resemblance to ıquantum groups; formula (3.16) for comodule structure is rem-
iniscent of the Chevalley generators [13, formula (5.1)], and the defining relations (3.1)–(3.6)
of Kn look similar to the Drinfeld realization given in [17, Theorem 5.1]. However, the details
seem to be very different. For example, the relations in Kn are invariant under scaling z → cz
but such homogeneity does not exist in those of [17]. The current appearing in the residues
in the right-hand side of (5.5) in [17] is commutative, whereas our current K−
i (z)K+
i
(
C2z
)
in (3.4) is not. The ıquantum groups are coideals in the corresponding quantum groups, while
we are not aware of inclusion of Kn to En. We do not know if ıquantum groups have in-
teresting families of integrals of motion in general. Natural candidates which could be com-
pared to Kn are the reflection algebras and, in particular, quantum twisted Yangians, see [18].
The quantum twisted Yangians are coideal subalgebras behind integrable systems with reflec-
tions. However, the exact relation to Kn algebras is unclear. The quantum twisted Yangians
are given in terms of the R-matrix realization (as opposed to the Drinfeld-type realization
of Kn) and the formulas for the generators of the coideal are quadratic in generators of quantum
group.
In quantum toroidal algebras En, the integrals of motion originate from the standard con-
struction of transfer matrices and depend on n arbitrary parameters. They commute for a simple
reason following from the Yang–Baxter equation. Then a computation provides the expression
1We change the convention slightly from [7].
Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 3
for the integrals of motion in the form of integrals. The integrals of motion in the Kn algebra
are given virtually by the same formula as in En, except that one of the parameters (the ellip-
tic nome) is fixed by the central element C. But we do not have any general reason for their
commutativity; we simply check it directly.
It is known that in type A there is a natural duality of such models of (glm, gln) type,
see [6]. Under that duality, the algebras Em and En act on the same space in such a way that
the screening operators for one algebra are given in terms of generating currents of the other.
Furthermore the integrals of motion of both algebras commute with each other. For K1 acting in
a representation, we have a system of screening operators, see [7]. We expect that the algebras
generated by the corresponding screening currents also possess a commutative family which
should be called “non-local” integrals of motion, and that “local” and “non-local” integrals of
motion commute.
Similarly, we expect that algebras Kn acting in representations commute with a family of
screening operators. Moreover the algebra generated by the screening currents does not depend
on n. For the case of the tensor product of ℓ Fock En modules with a boundary Kn module, we
anticipate ℓ + 1 screening currents each given as a sums of n vertex operators. The correspon-
ding “non-local” integrals of motion should commute with the “local” integrals of motion {IN}
constructed in this paper. We plan to address this issue in future publications.
The text is organized as follows.
In Section 2 we introduce our convention about the quantum toroidal algebra En of type gln.
In Section 3 we define algebra Kn. Working with admissible representations, we rephrase the
Serre relations as zero conditions (called wheel conditions) on matrix coefficients of products of
generating currents. We show that on admissible representations, Kn may be viewed as a left
comodule over En. We use this fact to construct representations starting with elementary ones.
In Section 4 we introduce integrals of motion. They are integrals of products of generating
currents of Kn obtained by a dressing procedure. The kernel functions entering integrals of
motion are precisely the same as those used for those of En. We then prove that integrals of
motion mutually commute by direct computation.
For simplicity of presentation, we treat the case n ≥ 3 in the body of the text. We shall
mention the modifications necessary for n = 1, 2 in Section 5.
In Section 6 we show that, for any k = 1, . . . , n−1, algebra Kn = Kn(q1, q2, q3) with parame-
ters q1, q2, q3 contains mutually commuting subalgebras Kk(q̄1, q̄2, q̄3) and Kn−k(¯̄q1, ¯̄q2, ¯̄q3) with
appropriate parameters q̄i, ¯̄qi.
In Appendix A, we give a proof of the theta function identities used in the commutativity of
integrals of motion.
Notation 1.1. Throughout the text we fix parameters q1/2, d1/2 ∈ C× and define
q1 = q−1d, q2 = q2, q3 = q−1d−1,
so that q1q2q3 = 1. We assume that qi1q

2 Preliminaries
In this section we fix our convention regarding the quantum toroidal algebra En of type gln.
2.1 Quantum toroidal algebra En
Fix a positive integer n ≥ 3. We define gi,j(z, w), Gi,j(x) for i, j ∈ Z/nZ as follows
gi,i(z, w) = z − q2w, Gi,i(x) = q2
1− q−2x
1− q2x
,
gi,i±1(z, w) = z − q−1d±1w, Gi,i±1(x) = q−1 1− qd±1x
1− q−1d±1x
,
gi,j(z, w) = z − w, Gi,j(x) = 1 if j ̸≡ i, i± 1.
Here Gi,j(x) should be understood as power series expansion in x. As rational function we have
Gi,j(w/z) = − gj,i(w, z)
di,jgi,j(z, w)
= Gj,i(z/w)
−1,
where di,j = d±1, i ≡ j ± 1, and di,j = 1 otherwise.
Let P be a free Z module with basis {εi | i ∈ Z/nZ}, equipped with a symmetric bilinear
form ( , ) : P × P → Z such that εi are orthonormal. We write ᾱi = εi−1 − εi.
The quantum toroidal algebra En of type gln is a unital associative algebra generated by
ei,k, fi,k, hi,r, i ∈ Z/nZ, k ∈ Z, r ∈ Z\{0}, qh, h ∈ P, C±1.

Algebra En has a Z grading which we call homogeneous grading, given by
deg xi,r = r, x = e, f, h, deg qh = degC = 0.
2.2 Coproduct
Quite generally, let A be a Z graded algebra with a central element C. The completion of A
in the positive direction is the algebra Ã, linearly spanned by products of series of the form∑∞
k=M fkgk, where M ∈ Z, fk, gk ∈ A and deg gk = k. We call an A module V admissible if C
is diagonalizable, and if V is Z graded with finite dimensional components of degree bounded
from above: V = ⊕N
k=−∞Vk, where Vk = {v ∈ V | deg v = k}, dimVk < ∞. The completion Ã
acts on all admissible modules.
Let En⊗̃En be the tensor algebra En ⊗ En completed in the positive direction. We use the
topological coproduct ∆: En → En⊗̃En
∆ei(z) = ei(C2z)⊗ ψ−
i (z) + 1⊗ ei(z),
∆fi(z) = fi(z)⊗ 1 + ψ+

2.3 Fock modules
It is well known [20] that En has admissible representations given in terms of vertex operators.
Consider a vector space with basis |m⟩ labeled by n tuples of integers m = (m0,m1, . . . ,mn−1)
∈ Zn. We define linear operators e±ϵi and ∂i, 0 ≤ i ≤ n− 1, by
e±ϵi |m⟩ = (−1)
∑i−1
s=0 ms |m± 1i⟩, ∂i|m⟩ = mi|m⟩,
6 B. Feigin, M. Jimbo and E. Mukhin
with 1i = (δi,j)0≤j≤n−1. We have eϵieϵj = −eϵjeϵi for i ̸= j. We set
F = C[{hi,−r}r>0,0≤i≤n−1]⊗
( ⊕
m∈Zn
C|m⟩
)
.
We write operators hi,±r ⊗ id, id⊗ e±ϵi and id⊗ ∂i simply as hi,±r, e
±ϵi and ∂i. We extend the
range of the suffix i by periodicity, e.g., ∂i+n = ∂i. Define a vertex operator which acts on F
Vi(z) = e−ϵieϵi−1z∂i−1−∂id(∂i−1+∂i)/2 exp

For u ∈ C×, the following assignment gives F a structure of an admissible En module denoted
by F(u),
ei(z) 7→ u−δi,0zVi(z), f̃i(z) 7→ −q−1uδi,0z :Vi(z)
−1:,
hi,r 7→ hi,r, r ̸= 0, qεi 7→ q∂i , C 7→ q.
Here we use the usual normal ordering symbol to bring e±ϵi , hi,−r, r > 0, to the left and ∂i, hi,r,
r > 0, to the right, except that the order between e±ϵi ’s is kept unchanged. The En module F(u)
is a direct sum of irreducible submodules, see [6, Lemma 3.2].
3 Comodule algebra Kn
In this section we introduce an algebra Kn, and show that it has the structure of an En comodule
in the sense to be made precise below. Algebra K1 was first introduced and studied in [7] in order
to give a uniform description of deformedW algebras associated with simple Lie (super)algebras
of types BCD.

Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 7
In the right-hand side, the rational functions of the form 1/(1− az1/w) or 1/(1− bw/z2) stand
for their expansions in non-negative powers of z1/w or w/z2, respectively.
In the right-hand sides of (3.4) and (3.6), the Fourier coefficients of K−
i (z)K+
i
(
C2z
)
are infi-
nite series. Therefore the relations require some justification. We proceed as follows. We define
a Z grading of generators by
degEi,k = k, degHi,±r = ±r, degK±
i,0 = degC = 0.
We call it the homogeneous grading. Consider the free algebra A generated by Ei,k, Hi,±r,
K±
i,0, C
±1. Let à be the completion of A with respect to the grading in the positive direction.
Then we define Kn to be the graded quotient algebra of à under the relations (3.1)–(3.6).
The quadratic relations (3.4) imply
di,j ĝi,j(z, w)Ei(z)Ej(w) + ĝj,i(w, z)Ej(w)Ei(z) = 0, (3.7)
where
ĝi,j(z, w) =
{(
z − C2w
)(
z − C−2w
)(
z − q2w
)
, i = j,
gi,j(z, w), i ̸= j.
The factor
(
z−C2w
)(
z−C−2w
)
for i = j is chosen to kill the delta functions in the right-hand
side of (3.4).
Remark 3.1. Algebra Kn has a filtration defined by pdegEi(z) = 1, pdegK±
i (z) = 0 for all i,
which we call the principal filtration. In the associated graded algebra, the subalgebra genera-
ted by {Ei(z)} is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the quantum toroidal algebra En generated
by {ei(z)}.
The relations for K±
i (z) are slightly different from those of ψ±
i (z) in En, since the right-hand
side of (3.2) contains a product of Gi,j ’s as opposed to the ratio. In particular, while the elements
ψ±
i,0 ∈ En are inverse to each other, the elements K±
i,0 ∈ Kn are not mutually commutative,
K+
i,0K
−
j,0 = q2(ᾱi,ᾱj)K−
j,0K
+
i,0.
We have the relations
[Hi,r, Hi,s] = −δr+s,0 · ai,j(r)
1 + C2r
q − q−1
, r > 0,
which are to be compared with (2.1). In the limit q → 1 with C = qc, algebra En reduces to the
enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra of matrix valued difference operators, see [3, Section 3.7].
In contrast, algebra Kn does not seem to have a reasonable limit due to the presence of the
sum 1 + C2r.
3.2 Wheel conditions
All representations of En or Kn considered in this paper are admissible representations. In this
setting, we rewrite the formal series relations of generating currents in the language of matrix
coefficients.
Let V =⊕k0
k=−∞Vk be a graded vector space with degrees bounded from above and dimVk<∞.
We denote by V ∗ = ⊕k0
k=−∞V
∗
k the restricted dual space. Suppose that we are given a set of
formal series
{
Ei(z) =
∑
k∈ZEi,kz
−k | i ∈ Z/nZ
}
, such that Ei,k ∈ EndV , Ei,kVl ⊂ Vk+l,

satisfying the relations (3.5) and (3.7) with some C ∈ C×. We assume that the zeros of ĝi,i(z, w)
are distinct:
C2 ̸= ±1, q±2.
It follows from (3.5) and (3.7) that all matrix coefficients
⟨w,Ei1(z1) · · ·EiN (zN )v⟩, v ∈ V, w ∈ V ∗,
converge in the region |z1| ≫ · · · ≫ |zN | to rational functions which have at most simple poles
at ĝir,is(zr, zs) = 0, where r < s and ir ≡ is, is ± 1.
Quite generally, let A1(z), A2(z) be operator-valued formal series and ri,j(x) be rational
functions. We shall say that an exchange relation
r1,2(z2/z1)A1(z1)A2(z2) = r2,1(z1/z2)A2(z2)A1(z1)
holds as rational functions, if an arbitrary matrix coefficient of each side converges (in regions
|z1| ≫ |z2| and |z2| ≫ |z1| respectively) to the same rational function. Similarly we shall use the
term “exchange relation as meromorphic functions”.
Equations (3.5) and (3.7) imply that we have relations as rational functions
λ0i,j(w/z)Ei(z)Ej(w) = λ0j,i(z/w)Ej(w)Ei(z), (3.8)
where we set
λ0i,i(x) =
1− C2x
1− x
1− C−2x
1− x
1− q2x
1− x
,
λ0i,i±1(x) = d∓1/2 1− q−1d±1x
1− x
,
and λ0i,j(x) = 1 for j ̸≡ i, i± 1.
Set
Ei1,...,iN (z1, . . . , zN ) =
∏
1≤r<s≤N
λ0ir,is(zs/zr)Ei1(z1) · · ·EiN (zN ). (3.9)
It follows from (3.8) that
Eiσ(1),...,iσ(N)
(zσ(1), . . . , zσ(N)) = Ei1,...,iN (z1, . . . , zN ), σ ∈ SN . (3.10)
In particular (3.9) is symmetric with respect to zr and zs when they have the same “color”
ir = is. Moreover all matrix coefficients of (3.9) have the form
P (z1, . . . , zN )∏
r<s(zr − zs)Nr,s
, P (z1, . . . , zN ) ∈ C
[
z±1
1 , . . . , z±1
N
]
, (3.11)
where Nr,s = 2 if ir = is, Nr,s = 1 if ir ≡ is ± 1, and Nr,s = 0 otherwise. Note that, when
ir = is, third order poles are absent due to the symmetry in variables of the same color.
The following is easy to see.

Proposition 3.3. Under the conditions (3.5) and (3.7), the Serre relations (3.6) are satisfied
if and only if the following zero conditions hold:

Ei,i,i±1

If it is the case then we have also

= 0. (3.15)
We call (3.13)–(3.15) “wheel conditions”.

The matrix coefficients of Ei,i,i+1(z1, z2, w) are Laurent polynomials up to poles on z1 = z2
or zi = w, which are cancelled by the zeros of 1/λ0i,j .
This is a sum of six formal series, each expanded in a different region. In order to bring them
to expansions in a common region, we use the identity 1/(1− z) = δ(z)− z−1/

1/(1 − z) stands for its expansion in non-negative powers of z, while z−1/

In case (8) the coefficient vanishes on z1 = z2 due to the triple zero of λ0i,i(z1/z2)

Computing similarly we find that it matches with the corresponding term in RHS.
It remains to consider (5) and (6). The coefficients of the product of delta functions are
proportional (with non-zero multipliers) to the left-hand side of (3.13) and (3.14), respectively.
Since there are no terms that come from RHS, we have shown that the Serre relations are
equivalent to (3.13) and (3.14).
Instead of rewriting terms into expansions in |z1| ≫ |z2| ≫ |w|, one can equally well proceed
to the opposite region |z1| ≪ |z2| ≪ |w|. Computing in the same way we obtain (3.15) in place
of (3.14). ■
3.3 Comodule structure
In this section we show that, when we restrict to admissible modules, Kn may be viewed as
a left comodule of En. To be precise we prove the following.2
2Formula for ∆ is slightly changed from the one used in [7]. The E1 comodule structure discussed there should
be understood at the level of admissible representations.
Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 11
Theorem 3.4. Let V be an admissible En module and W an admissible Kn module, such that C
acts as scalar C1, C2 respectively. We set C12 = C1C2 and assume that
C2
2 ̸= ±1, q±2, C2
12 ̸= ±1, q±2.
Then V ⊗W is given the structure of an admissible Kn module by the action of the following
currents:
∆Ei(z) = ei(C2z)⊗K−
i (z) + 1⊗ Ei(z) + f̃i
(
C−1

i (z), (3.17)
∆K−
i (z) = ψ−
i (C2z)⊗K−
i (z), (3.18)
∆C = C12. (3.19)
Moreover the following “coassociativity” and “counit property” hold:
(V1 ⊗ V2)⊗W = V1 ⊗ (V2 ⊗W ),
C⊗W =W.
Here V1, V2 are admissible En modules and C denotes the trivial En module.
Proof. On each vector of an admissible module, the currents of En or Kn comprise only a finite
number of negative powers in z. Hence each Fourier coefficient of (3.16)–(3.18) is a well-defined
operator on V ⊗W .
It is easy to verify the relations (3.1)–(3.3) and (3.5) by direct calculation. With the aid
of (2.2), one can also check (3.4) for i ̸= j.
Let us check (3.4) for i = j. We shall write A1(z, w) ≡ A2(z, w) if each matrix coefficient of
A1(z, w)−A2(z, w) is a Laurent polynomial. Then we have on V
gi,j(z, w)ei(z)ej(w) ≡ 0, gi,j(z, w)f̃i(z)f̃j(w) ≡ 0, (3.20)

Interchanging z with w and summing these, we arrive at (3.4) for i = j.
Next let us verify the Serre relations (3.6). By Proposition 3.3, it suffices to show that the cur-
rent ∆Ei,i,i±1(z1, z1, w) satisfies the wheel conditions (3.13)–(3.14). It is comprised of 27 terms
which we group together according to the principal grading in the first component, defined
by pdeg ei(z) = 1, pdeg fi(z) = −1, pdegψ±
i (z) = pdegC = 0. For the terms of principal
degrees ±3 and ±2, the wheel conditions are easily checked.
Let us verify the case of principal degree 1. There are 6 terms coming from ∆Ei,i,i±1(z1, z2, w):
A1 = ϕ ei(C2z1)ei(C2z2)f̃i±1

A6 = ϕ ei±1(C2w)⊗K−
i±1(w)Ei(z1)Ei(z2)Gi,i±1(w/z1)Gi,i±1(w/z2),
where
ϕ =

z1 − z2
z1 − q2z2
z1 − z2
z1 − q−1d±1w
z1 − w
z2 − q−1d±1w
z1 − w
.
From (3.20)–(3.22), we see that the sum
∑6
i=1Ai has no poles other than z1 = z2, zi = w.
In fact, the only possible poles at z2 = C2
2z1 (resp. z2 = C−2
2 z1) arise from A2 and A6 (resp., A3
with A6), and they cancel by virtue of (3.21) and (3.22).
Let us check (3.13). Under the specialization z2 = q2z1, w = qd∓1z1 = q−1d∓1z2, each term
has a zero due to the vanishing factors(
z1 − q2z2
)
Gi,i(z2/z1), z1 − q−1d±1w,
(
z2 − q−1d±1w
)
Gi,i±1(w/z2).
To check (3.14), set z2 = C2
12z1. All Ai’s vanish at z2 = C2
12z1 with the exception of A2.
Since the latter has the factor
(
z2 − q−1d±1w
)
Gi,i±1(w/z2), it also vanishes by setting further
w = q−1d∓1z2.
In the case of principal degree 0, there are 7 terms:
B0 = ϕ 1⊗ Ei(z1)Ei(z2)Ei±1(w),
B1 = ϕ ei(C2z1)f̃i

Again possible poles at z2 = C±2
2 z1 are cancelled among B0, B1, B2 and the sum
∑6
i=0Bi has
no poles other than z1 = z2, zi = w.
Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 13
Consider z2 = q2z1, w = qd∓1z1 = q−1d∓1z2. By the assumption on C2
2 , B0 vanishes. The
rest of the terms are zero for the same reason as in principal degree 1. Next let z2 = C2
12z1.
The only term which may survive is B1. Due to the factor
(
z2 − q−1d±1w
)
Gi,i±1(w/z2) it also
vanishes by setting further w = q−1d∓1z2.
The case of principal degree −1 being similar to principal degree 1, we omit the details.
Finally the coassociativity and counit property can be readily checked by using (3.16)–(3.19). ■
3.4 Representations
Theorem 3.4 allows us to construct a large family of admissible representations of Kn starting
from simple ones.
Algebra Kn has a Heisenberg subalgebra Hn generated by Hi,r, i ∈ Z/nZ, r ̸= 0, K±
i,0,
and C±1. Let FD be an irreducible representation of Hn on which C acts as q−1.
Lemma 3.5. With the following action, FD is an admissible Kn module:
Ei(z) 7→ 0, K±
i (z) 7→ K±
i (z), C 7→ q−1.
Proof. The defining relations are obviously satisfied except (3.4). To see the latter it suffices
to note that gi,i
(
z, C2z
)
= 0 when C = q−1. ■
In the next case we need to adjoin
(
K±
i,0
)1/2
to Hn and Kn. We define K̃±
i (z) by
K̃±
i (z)K̃±
i (qz) = K±
i (z).
Let FB be an irreducible representation of Hn on which C acts as q1/2.
Lemma 3.6. With the following action, FB is an admissible Kn module:
Ei(z) 7→ kK̃−
i (z)K̃+
i (qz), K±
i (z) 7→ K±
i (z), C 7→ q1/2,
where k = 1/(q1/2 − q−1/2).
Proof. We can write Gi,j(x) = G̃i,j(x)G̃i,j(q
−1x), where
G̃i,i(x) = q
1− q−1x
1− x
1− qx

Together with Theorem 3.4, the above lemmas imply

Proof. Since C2

the only place where this matters is the term B0 in degree 0. Since this term is identically zero
in FD, the same proof works. ■

Remark 3.10. As it turns out, the currents (3.23) commute with a system of screening operators
derived from quantum toroidal algebra of type D. We hope to address this point elsewhere.
4 Integrals of motion
We continue to work with admissible representations of Kn on which C acts as a scalar. Our
goal in this section is to introduce a family of commuting operators acting on each such represen-
tation (with mild restrictions on parameters), which we call integrals of motion (IMs). Loosely
speaking, we may think of them as generators of a commutative subalgebra of Kn.
The IMs will depend on q, d, C as well as additional arbitrary parameters
µ1, . . . , µn ∈ C,
n∑
i=1
µi = 0. (4.1)
16 B. Feigin, M. Jimbo and E. Mukhin
In addition, they depend also on an “elliptic” parameter p. However, our experience with the
algebra K1 tells that the IMs exist only when p and C are related in a special way. Guided by
the result in [7], we shall impose the relation
C2 = pq2
and make the following assumption:
|p| < 1,
∣∣qd±1
∣∣ < 1,
∣∣pq−2
∣∣ < 1,
∣∣pq−1d±1
∣∣ < 1. (4.2)
In particular |q2| < 1. We use parameters τ ∈ C with Im τ > 0 and β, γ ∈ C given by
p = e−2πi/τ , q2 = pγ , d = pβ. (4.3)
We use also θ(u) = pu
2/2−u/2Θp(p
u), which satisfies
θ(u+ 1) = −θ(u), θ(u+ τ) = −e−2πiu−πiτθ(u). (4.4)
4.1 Dressed currents
A basic constituent of IMs is the dressed currents, obtained by modifying the currents Ei(z)
of Kn.
In the following we define operators Hi,0 by (K−
i,0)
−1K+
i,0 = q2Hi,0 . The dressed currents of Kn
are defined by
Ei(z) = K−
i (z)
−1Ei(z)z

K−
i (z) = exp

−
(
q − q−1
)∑
r>0
Hi,−r
1− pr
zr
)
,
where γ and µi are as in (4.3) and (4.1).
The dressed currents have well-defined matrix coefficients on admissible representations.
They satisfy the exchange relations as meromorphic functions
λi,j(z2/z1)Ei(z1)Ej(z2) = λj,i(z1/z2)Ej(z2)Ei(z1),
with
λi,i(x) = x−γ 1− C2x

)

,
and λi,j(x) = 1 in all other cases. Up to a power of x, λi,j(x) specializes to λ
0
i,j(x) at p = 0. Each
matrix coefficient of products of dressed currents is a meromorphic function (up to an overall
power function). We have “elliptic” exchange relations as meromorphic functions
Ei(z)Ei(w) = Ei(w)Ei(z)
θ(v − u+ γ)
θ(v − u− γ)
,
Ei(z)Ei±1(w) = Ei±1(w)Ei(z)q

where z = pu, w = pv.

−1 contains only {Hi,−r} with r > 0. Its contribution to any matrix
coefficient of Ei1,...,iN (z1, . . . , zN ) is a Laurent polynomial in zs’s for degree reasons. Hence the
equality above shows that, up to an overall power of zi’s, each matrix coefficient of operator (4.5)
has the same functional form (3.11) as that of Ei1,...,iN (z1, . . . , zN ). In particular the wheel
conditions (3.13)–(3.15) are valid also for (4.5).
4.2 Integrals of motion
Given parameters (4.1), let Xn = Xn(µ1, . . . , µn) denote the space of entire functions
ϑ(u1, . . . , un) satisfying
ϑ(u1, . . . , ui + 1, . . . , un) = ϑ(u1, . . . , ui, . . . , un), (4.6)
ϑ(u1, . . . , ui + τ, . . . , un) = e−2πi(2ui−ui−1−ui+1−µi+τ) ϑ(u1, . . . , ui, . . . , un), (4.7)
where ui+n = ui. We have dimXn = n.
For M ≥ 1 and ϑ ∈ Xn, we introduce the kernel functions
hM (u1, . . . ,un;ϑ)
=
ϑ(u1, . . . , un)

where

Here xi,a = pui,a , and the symbol
∏↶
1≤i≤N stands for ordered product
↶∏
1≤i≤N
Ai = ANAN−1 · · ·A1.
Even though individual factors contain fractional powers, the integrand of (4.9) comprises only
integer powers with respect to each xi,a. The integrals are taken over a common circle |xi,a| = R.
The result is independent of the choice of R > 0.
Formally, (4.9) looks identical to that of the integrals of motion of type A [5, 8, 12]. In par-
ticular the kernel functions (4.8) are the same as those used there. The difference is hidden in
the pole structure of products of dressed currents.
18 B. Feigin, M. Jimbo and E. Mukhin
For later use we rewrite the integrand in terms of the current in (4.5),
E(M)(x1, . . . ,xn) = E1,...,1,...,n,...,n(x1, . . . ,xn),
where xi = (xi,1, . . . , xi,M ). In the right-hand side, each index i occurs M times.
Proposition 4.1. Set x = pu and
ξ(u) = pu

4.3 Commutativity
We are now in a position to state the commutativity of IMs.
Theorem 4.2. For all M,N ≥ 1 and ϑ1, ϑ2 ∈ Xn, the integrals of motion mutually commute:
[GM (ϑ1),GN (ϑ2)] = 0.
Theorem 4.2 is the main result of this paper. The rest of this section is devoted to its proof.
Proof. We start by examining the product of operators, dropping irrelevant constants

Here xi,a = pui,a , yi,b = pvi,b . We choose the contours to be the unit circle C1 : |xi,a| = 1
for GM (ϑ1), and a circle CR : |yi,b| = R of radius R for GN (ϑ2).

zi,a+M = yi,a, and ui,M+a = vi,a, 1 ≤ a ≤ N , and substituting

Starting from R ≫ 1, we bring the contours CR for yi,b to the unit circle. For that purpose
we need to locate the position of poles between the two circles CR and C1. The poles between
y’s and x’s come from ξ, η and θ:

Including the poles between y’s which come from η, poles of the integrand with respect to
each yi,b are as follows (see the figure below):

we choose R ≪ 1 for convergence. The integrand can be obtained from the one for (4.11) by
switching the roles of x, M and y, N . It amounts to changing (4.12) to
T ′(u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn) = ϑ1(u1, . . . , un)ϑ2(v1, . . . , vn)

.
Similarly as above, we start from R ≪ 1 and bring CR to the unit circle. The relevant poles in
between are
yi,b = q2xi,a, pq2xi,a, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ a ≤M, 1 ≤ b ≤ N.
Moving the contour we pick up residues of these poles. Again the wheel conditions ensure that
no new poles arise for the remaining variables.
In order to prove the commutativity, we must show that, after moving contours to the unit
circle, (4.11) and (4.14) give the same result.
First, let us compare terms that arise without taking residues. Since all integrals are taken
on the unit circle, we can symmetrize the integrand. Taking into account the symmetry of
S(z1, . . . , zn), we see that the equality of integrals reduces to the identity of theta functions
Sym T (u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn) = Sym T ′(u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn), (4.15)
where Sym stands for symmetrization in each group of variables {ui,a}Ma=1∪{vi,b}Nb=1, 1 ≤ i ≤ n.
This identity was stated in [12]. Since their proof contains some gaps, we prove it in Appendix;
see Theorem A.1 and Remark A.6 below.
In general, we compare terms obtained by taking residues with respect to some group of
variables. First consider terms coming from (4.11). In view of symmetry and the zeros of
S(z1, . . . , zn) at yi,a = yi,b, it is enough to consider the case
yi,a = p−1q−1
2 xi,a, 1 ≤ a ≤ ki, (4.16)
yi,b = q−1
2 xi,b, ki + 1 ≤ b ≤ li, (4.17)
with some 0 ≤ ki ≤ li ≤ min(M,N), 1 ≤ i ≤ n. We compare it with the corresponding residue
coming from (4.14)
yi,a = pq2xi,a, 1 ≤ a ≤ ki, (4.18)
yi,b = q2xi,b, ki + 1 ≤ b ≤ li, (4.19)
for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. We further rename variables xi,a to p−1q−1
2 xi,a for (4.18) and to q−1
2 xi,a for (4.19).
The contours for them change to
∣∣p−1q−1
2 xi,a
∣∣ = 1 and
∣∣q−1
2 xi,a
∣∣ = 1, respectively. We shift them
back to the unit circle |xi,a| = 1, noting that the wheel conditions ensure there are no poles
which hinder the shift.
The factor S(z1, . . . , zn) has no poles at (4.16) and (4.17) and specializes to
S

−1q−1
2 zi,a, . . . , q

2 zi,b, . . .

. (4.20)
Similarly, at (4.18) and (4.19) it specializes to
S(. . . , zi,a, . . . , zi,b, . . . , pq2zi,a, . . . , q2zi,b, . . . ). (4.21)
After the renaming, (4.21) is brought to (4.20) because S(z1, . . . , zn) is symmetric in
{zi,a}1≤a≤M+N for each i.

It remains to compare the residues of the functions T , T ′. Since they are periodic with
period 1, their residues at vi,a = ui,a − γ − 1 are the same as those at vi,a = ui,a − γ. Hence we
are to show the equality
Sym∗ res

,
where Sym∗ stands for the symmetrization with respect to the remaining variables {ui,a}Ma=li+1∪
{vi,b}Nb=li+1, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Note that moving the contours CR from R < 1 to C1 we obtain a sign
factor.
To check the equality, we start from the residues of the identity (4.15)
res
vi,a=ui,a−γ,
1≤a≤li, 1≤i≤n
Sym T (u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn)= res
vi,a=ui,a−γ,
1≤a≤li, 1≤i≤n
Sym T ′(u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn). (4.22)
Symmetrization Sym amounts to replacing variables ui, vi as
ui → {ui,a}a∈Ii ∪ {vi,b}b∈J ′
i
, vi → {ui,a}a∈I′i ∪ {vi,b}b∈Ji ,
and sum over partitions of indices
Ii ⊔ I ′i = {1, . . . ,M}, Ji ⊔ J ′
i = {1, . . . , N}, |I ′i| = |J ′
i |.
In order to have non-zero residues at vi,a = ui,a − γ (1 ≤ a ≤ li) in the left-hand side of (4.22),
Ii and Ji must contain {1, . . . , li}. Therefore the left-hand side of (4.22) reduces to
Sym∗ res
vi,a=ui,a−γ,
1≤a≤li, 1≤i≤n
T (u1, . . . ,un|v1, . . . ,vn).
Similarly, in the right-hand side of (4.22), non-zero residues appear only when J ′
i and I

i contain
{1, . . . , li}. For each i we have
res
vi,a=ui,a−γ,

Proof of Theorem 4.2 is now complete. ■
5 The cases n = 1, 2
All results discussed so far are valid also in the case n = 1, 2 with suitable modifications. In this
section we indicate the necessary changes.
Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 23
5.1 Case n = 2
Dealing with algebras En and Kn for n = 2, there are two points to be taken care of.
First, the structure functions are changed. We keep gi,i(z, w) unchanged but replace gi,j(z, w)
for i ̸= j with gn≥3
i,j (z, w)gn≥3
j,i (z, w). Similar changes are due for Gi,j(x), λ
0
i,j(x) and λi,j(x).
Namely we use
gi,1−i(z, w) = (z − q1w)(z − q3w),
Gi,1−i(x) = q−2

We set also di,i = 1, di,1−i = −1.
Second, the Serre relations are modified.
The defining relations of E2 are the same as those for n ≥ 3 except for the Serre relations
Sym
z1,z2,z3
[ei(z1), [ei(z2), [ei(z3), e1−i(w)]q2 ]]q−2 = 0, (5.1)

[fi(z1), [fi(z2), [fi(z3), f1−i(w)]q2 ]]q−2 = 0. (5.2)
The defining relations of K2 are (3.1)–(3.4), together with the Serre relations

and the same relation with q1 and q3 interchanged.
At first glance, the quartic Serre relations (5.1) and (5.2) for E2 and the cubic Serre rela-
tions (5.3) for K2 look very different. Actually the former are equivalent (under the rest of the
relations) to cubic relations which are the left-hand sides of (5.3) and their “f -version”. See [3,
Lemma 2.1] and remark after that.
With the above changes, formula for comodule structure (Theorem 3.4), formulas for integrals
of motion (4.9) and (4.10) and their commutativity (Theorem 4.2) remain valid.
5.2 Case n = 1
Algebra K1 has been discussed in [7]. For reader’s reference we mention the necessary changes.
We drop suffixes i, j from structure functions and set

We change also the normalization of generators of E1 slightly, so that
ψ±(z) = exp

[e(z), f(w)] =

The space of theta functions X1 is defined to be that of constant functions C. Replacing
hM (u1, . . . ,un;ϑ) by
hM (u) =
∏
1≤a<b≤M
θ(ua − ub)θ(ua − ub − γ)
θ(ua − ub − β − γ/2)θ(ua − ub + β − γ/2)
,
we define integrals of motion by (4.9). Then the commutativity Theorem 4.2 holds true.

It is known [3] that the completed quantum toroidal algebra Ẽn with parameters q1, q2, q3
contains various subalgebras isomorphic to Ẽk, with 1 ≤ k ≤ n− 1 and suitable parameters q̄1,
q̄2, q̄3. In this section we discuss an analogue of this construction for Kn. Throughout this
section we take n ≥ 2, and fix an admissible Kn module V , where C acts as a scalar such that
C2 ̸= ±1, q±2.
Consider the following set of operators
{
Ēi(z), K̄

Proof. Denote by Ḡi,j(x), 0 ≤ i, j ≤ n− 2 the functions Gi,j(x) for Kn−1 with the parameters
given above. Then we have
Ḡi,i(x) = Gi,i(x)

Using these one can verify the relations (3.1)–(3.4) as rational functions.
For simplicity we assume n ≥ 3 below. The case n = 2 can be treated with minor modifica-
tions. Let us check the condition (3.12) for Ē0(z). We have
Ē0(z1)Ē0(z2) = En−1,n−1,0,0(q1z1, q1z2, z1, z2)c̄d

(1− q1z2/z1)(

(1− z2/z1)
.
The wheel conditions (3.13)–(3.15) ensure that the apparent double poles in the right-hand side
are actually all simple. To compute the residue at z2 = C2z1, it suffices to consider
1

The wheel conditions for Ēi(z) can be verified similarly. As an example, consider
Ē0,0,1(z1, z2, w). Up to an irrelevant factor it can be written as
Ē0,0,1(z1, z2, w) ∝

λ00,0(z2/z1)

Since
En−1,n−1,0(q1z, q1q2z, z) = 0 and E0,0,1(z, q2z, q2q3z) = 0,
En−1,n−1,0,0,1
(
q1z1, q1z2, z1, z2, q

)
is divisible by (z2−q2z1)2. Therefore (6.3) vanishes at z2 =
q2z1, w = q̄−1
1 z1. Similarly, the condition En−1,n−1,0(q1z, q1C
2z, z) = 0 and E0,0,1
(
z, C2z, C2q3z
)
= 0 imply that (6.3) vanishes at z2 = C2z1, w = C2q̄3z1. ■

A Theta function identities
As in Section 4.2 we use the space of theta functions Xn(µ1, . . . , µn) given by (4.6) and (4.7) for
n ≥ 2. For n = 1, we define X1 = C to be the space of constant functions. In this section we
prove the following identity.
Theorem A.1. The following identities hold for all n,M,N ≥ 1, α, γ ∈ C and ϑ1, ϑ2 ∈ Xn:∑

θ(ui,a − ui+1,b − α+ γ)∏

. (A.1)
Here we set ui,I =
∑
a∈I ui,a for a subset I of {1, . . . ,M + N}, and the sum is taken over all
partitions
Ii ⊔ Ji = {1, . . . ,M +N} satisfying |Ii| =M, |Ji| = N, i = 1, . . . , n.
For the proof of theorem, we prepare several lemmas.
Lemma A.2. If ϑ ∈ Xn(µ1, . . . , µn), then
ϑ(u1 + u, . . . , un + u) = ϑ(u1, . . . , un), u ∈ C.
28 B. Feigin, M. Jimbo and E. Mukhin
Proof. Let ϕ(u) = ϑ(u1 + u, . . . , un + u). Then ϕ(u) is entire and satisfies ϕ(u + 1) = ϕ(u),
ϕ(u+ τ) = ϕ(u). Hence it is a constant: ϕ(u) = ϕ(0). ■
Lemma A.3. Let ϕ(v1, . . . , vL) be an entire function with quasi-periodicity property
ϕ(v1, . . . , vi + 1, . . . , vL) = ϕ(v1, . . . , vi, . . . , vL),
ϕ(v1, . . . , vi + τ, . . . , vL) = e−2πim
∑L
i=1 vi+kϕ(v1, . . . , vi, . . . , vL)
with some m ∈ Z≥0 and k ∈ C. Then it is a function of
∑L
i=1 vi.
Proof. Fix i ̸= j, and set φ(u) = ϕ(v1, . . . , vi + u, . . . , vj − u, . . . , vL). Then φ(u) is an entire
function and satisfies φ(u + 1) = φ(u), φ(u + τ) = φ(u). Hence it is a constant: φ(u) = φ(0).
Since i, j, u are arbitrary, this proves the lemma. ■
Denote both sides of the identity (A.1) by LHSn,M,N and RHSn,M,N , respectively, and set
Φn,M,N = LHSn,M,N − RHSn,M,N . Where necessary we exhibit also their dependence on the
variables ui = (ui,1, . . . , ui,M+N ) and the choice of ϑ1, ϑ2 ∈ Xn. We set Φn,M,N = 0 if M = 0
or N = 0.
Lemma A.4. For n ≥ 2, Φn,M,N has the quasi-periodicity in each variable ui,a,
Φn,M,N (. . . , ui,a + 1, . . . ) = Φn,M,N (. . . , ui,a, . . . ),
Φn,M,N (. . . , ui,a + τ, . . . ) = e−2πi(2ūi−ūi−1−ūi+1−µi+τ)Φn,M,N (. . . , ui,a, . . . ).
For n = 1, Φ1,M,N has periods 1 and τ .
Modulo Z⊕ Zτ , the only poles of Φn,M,N are ui,a = ui,b + γ with some a, b, i.
Proof. The quasi-periodicity follows from (4.4), (4.6) and (4.7). Since Φn,M,N is symmetric in
each group of variables {ui,a}a=1,...,M+N , it cannot have a simple pole at ui,a = ui,b. ■
Lemma A.5. We have
res

· · · res

Φn,M,N (u1, . . . ,un|ϑ1, ϑ2)

where
u′

ϑ′s(v1, . . . , vn) = ϑs(v1 + u1,2, . . . , vn + un,2), s = 1, 2,
and A = θ(γ)−1 resu=0 θ(u)
−1.
Proof. In the sum LHSn,M,N , the iterated residue is non-zero only for terms such that 1 ∈ Ii
and 2 ∈ Ji for all i = 1, . . . , n. Write Ii = {1} ⊔ Īi and Ji = {2} ⊔ J̄i. Similarly, for RHSn,M,N
one must have 2 ∈ Ii and 1 ∈ Ji for i = 1, . . . , n. Write Ii = {2} ⊔ Īi and Ji = {1} ⊔ J̄i in that
case.
In either case, the functions ϑs become
ϑ1(u1,2 + ū1,Ī1 , . . . , un,2 + ūn,Īn)ϑ2(u1,2 + ū1,J̄1 , . . . , un,2 + ūn,J̄n)
due to Lemma A.2.
The rest is a simple computation. ■
Quantum Toroidal Comodule Algebra of Type An−1 and Integrals of Motion 29
Remark A.6. Lemma A.5 is proved in [12]. However the rest of the argument necessary for
completing the proof of Theorem A.1 is missing there.
Lemma A.7. Fix i ∈ {1, . . . , n}. Then the following hold:
Φn,M,N (u1, . . . ,un|ϑ1, ϑ2)
∣∣ui+1,a=ui,a−α
1≤a≤M+N
= (−1)MNΦn−1,M,N (u1, . . . ,ui,ui+2, . . . ,un|ϑ′′1, ϑ′′2),
Φn,M,N (u1, . . . ,un|ϑ1, ϑ2)
∣∣ui+1,a=ui,a−α+γ
1≤a≤M+N
= (−1)MNΦn−1,M,N (u1, . . . ,ui,ui+2, . . . ,un|ϑ′′′1 , ϑ′′′2 ),
where
ϑ′′1(v1, . . . , vn−1) = ϑ1(v1, . . . , vi, vi −Mα, vi+1, . . . , vn−1),
ϑ′′2(v1, . . . , vn−1) = ϑ2(v1, . . . , vi, vi −Nα, vi+1, . . . , vn−1),
and ϑ′′′s is given by replacing α by α− γ in ϑ′′s .
Proof. Since the calculations are similar, we consider the first case. Under this specialization,
terms in LHSn,M,N survive only when Ii ∩ Ji+1 = ∅, which implies Ii = Ii+1 and Ji = Ji+1.
Then the factor
∏
a∈Ii
b∈Ji+1
θ(ui,a − ui+1,b − α)
∏
a∈Ii+1
b∈Ji
θ(ui,b − ui+1,a − α+ γ) from the numerator
cancels
∏
a∈Ii+1
b∈Ji+1
θ(ui+1,a−ui+1,b)θ(ui+1,a−ui+1,b−γ) from the denominator, thereby reducing n
to n− 1. For RHSn,M,N the situation is entirely similar. ■
Lemma A.8 ([19]). The identity (A.1) holds for n = 1.
Proof. For n = 1 we may assume ϑ1 = ϑ2 = 1, so the identity takes the form∑
I,J
∏
a∈I
b∈J
θ(ua − ub − α)θ(ub − ua − α+ γ)
θ(ua − ub)θ(ua − ub − γ)
=
∑
I,J
∏
a∈I
b∈J
θ(ub − ua − α)θ(ua − ub − α+ γ)
θ(ub − ua)θ(ub − ua − γ)
.
Lemma A.5 together with the symmetry shows that Φ1,M,N has no pole at ua = ub + γ. Hence
Φ1,M,N is an elliptic function without poles, therefore it is a constant. Upon specializing ua = aα,
a = 1, . . . ,M +N , we obtain
LHS1,M,N = (−1)MN
∏M
a=1 θ((a− 1)α+ γ)/θ(aα)
∏N
a=1 θ((a− 1)α+ γ)/θ(aα)∏M+N
a=1 θ((a− 1)α+ γ)/θ(aα)
= RHS1,M,N ,
thereby proving Φ1,M,N = 0. ■
Proof of Theorem A.1. We use induction on n. The base of induction is proved in Lem-
ma A.8. Assume that theorem is true for n− 1.
For i = 1, . . . , n we set
Zi = res
ui,2=ui,1−γ
res
ui+1,2=ui+1,1−γ
· · · res
un,2=un,1−γ
Φn,M,N (u1, . . . ,un, α, γ|ϑ1, ϑ2).
We show Zi = 0 by induction on i. By Lemma A.5 and the induction hypothesis Φn−1,M,N = 0,
we have Z1 = 0. Suppose Zi = resui,2=ui,1−γ Zi+1 = 0. Then Zi+1 has no poles in ui.
30 B. Feigin, M. Jimbo and E. Mukhin
Since ui+1,2 = ui+1,1 − γ, non-zero terms in Zi+1 are such that 1 ∈ Ii+1, 2 ∈ Ji+1 in LHS.
Then in the numerator we have factors θ(ui,a − ui+1,2 − α), a ∈ Ii, and θ(ui,b − ui+1,1 − α+ γ),
b ∈ Ji. Therefore each term has a factor
M+N∏
a=1
θ(ui,a − ui+1,2 − α).
By the same argument, RHS, and hence Zi+1, is shown to have the same factor. If Zi+1 ̸= 0,
this is a contradiction because the quasi-periodicity property of Zi+1 implies that it is a function
of ūi =
∑M+N
a=1 ui,a, see Lemma A.3. Hence we have Zi+1 = 0.
It follows that Φn,M,N has no poles at un,a = un,b − γ. Therefore, if non-zero, it is a function
of the sum ūn =
∑M+N
a=1 un,a. On the other hand, by Lemma A.7 and the induction hypothesis,
Φn,M,N has the following zeros with respect to ūn:
ūn = ū1 + (M +N)α, ūn = ū1 + (M +N)(α− γ),
ūn = ūn−1 − (M +N)α, ūn = ūn−1 − (M +N)(α− γ).
From the quasi-periodicity, if Φn,M,N ̸= 0, then it can have only two zeros modulo Z⊕Zτ , which
contradicts to the above zeros.
This completes the proof of Theorem A.1. ■
