%0 Journal Article %T Exchange Relations for the q-Vertex Operators of $U_q(\widehat{sl2})$ %A Hidetoshi Awata %J Physics %D 1992 %I arXiv %R 10.1143/PTP.89.771 %X We consider the q-deformed Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation for the two point function of q-deformed vertex operators of $U_q(sl_2^)$. We give explicitly the fundamental solutions, the connection matrices and the exchange relations for the q-vertex operators of spin 1/2 and $j \in {1\over 2}{\bf Z}_{\geq 0}$. Consequently, we confirm that the connection matrices are equivalent to the elliptic Boltzman weights of IRF type obtained by the fusion procedure from ABF models. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9211087v1
