Abstract:
We give a precise expression for the universal weight function of the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\widehat{\frak{sl}}_3)$. The calculations use the technique of projecting products of Drinfeld currents on the intersections of Borel subalgebras.
Keywords:quantum affine algebra, current realization, nested Bethe ansatz, weight function, biorthogonal decompositions of Borel current subalgebras, projections on intersections of different Borel subalgebras.
