In this note we consider the algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_\infty)$ and we study the
category O of its integrable representations. The main motivations are
applications to quantum toroidal algebras. In this context, we state a general
positivity conjecture for representations of $U_q(\hat{sl}_\infty)$ viewed as
representations of quantum toroidal algebras, that we prove for
Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules.
We introduce and begin to study Lie theoretical analogs of symplectic
reflection algebras for a finite cyclic group, which we call "cyclic double
affine Lie algebra". We focus on type A : in the finite (resp. affine, double
affine) case, we prove that these structures are finite (resp. affine,
toroidal) type Lie algebras, but the gradings differ. The case which is
essentially new involves $\mathbb{C}[u,v]$. We describe its universal central
extensions and start the study of its representation theory, in particular of
its highest weight integrable modules and Weyl modules.
We describe a correspondence (or duality) between the q-characters of
finite-dimensional representations of a quantum affine algebra and its
Langlands dual in the spirit of q-alg/9708006 and 0809.4453. We prove this
duality for the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules. In the course of the proof we
introduce and construct "interpolating (q,t)-characters" depending on two
parameters which interpolate between the q-characters of a quantum affine
algebra and its Langlands dual.
