Abstract

In this paper, we first review the definition of the novel quantum affine algebra \(U_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\) of type \(A_{1}^{(1)}\) given in \cite{FHZ, HZhuang}. Furthermore, by introducing \(Ω\)-invariant generating functions, we construct the Drinfeld realization \(U^{D}_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\) of this algebra, and prove that \(U_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\) and \(U^{D}_{\textbf{q}}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)\) are algebraically isomorphic, which is known as the Drinfeld Isomorphism.
