On the hyperalgebra of the loop algebra ${\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n}$

Let $\widetilde{\mathcal U}_{\mathbb Z}({\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n})$ be the Garland integral form of ${\mathcal U}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$ introduced by Garland \cite{Ga}, where ${\mathcal U}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$ is the universal enveloping algebra of ${\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n}$. Using Ringel--Hall algebras, a certain integral form ${\mathcal U}_{\mathbb Z}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$ of ${\mathcal U}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$ was constructed in \cite{Fu13}. We prove that the Garland integral form $\widetilde{\mathcal U}_{\mathbb Z}({\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n})$ coincides with ${\mathcal U}_{\mathbb Z}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$. Let ${\mathpzc k}$ be a commutative ring with unity and let ${\mathcal U}_{\mathpzc k}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)={\mathcal U}_{\mathbb Z}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)\otimes{\mathpzc k}$. For $h\geq 1$, we use Ringel--Hall algebras to construct a certain subalgebra, denoted by ${\mathtt{u}}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n)_h$, of ${\mathcal U}_{\mathpzc k}(\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n)$. The algebra ${\mathtt{u}}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n)_h$ is the affine analogue of ${\mathtt{u}}({\frak{gl}}_n)_h$, where ${\mathtt{u}}({\frak{gl}}_n)_h$ is a certain subalgebra of the hyperalgebra associated with ${\frak{gl}}_n$ introduced by Humhpreys \cite{Hum}. The algebra ${\mathtt{u}}({\frak{gl}}_n)_h$ plays an important role in the modular representation theory of ${\frak{gl}}_n$. In this paper we give a realization of ${\mathtt{u}}_{\!\vartriangle\!}(n)_h$ using affine Schur algebras.
