Vertex operators for twisted quantum affine algebras

Abstract

We construct explicitly the $q$-vertex operators (intertwining operators) for the level one modules $V(\Lambda_i)$ of the classical quantum affine algebras of twisted types using interacting bosons, where $i=0, 1$ for $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$, $i=0$ for $D_4^{(3)}$, $i=0, n$ for $D_{n+1}^{(2)}$, and $i=n$ for $A_{2n}^{(2)}$. A perfect crystal graph for $D_4^{(3)}$ is constructed as a by-product.
