On the Vertex Operators of the Elliptic Quantum Algebra U_(q,p)(widehat{sl₂})_(k)}

A realization of the elliptic quantum algebra $U_{q,p}(\widehat{sl_2})$ for any given level $k$ is constructed in terms of three free boson fields and their accompanying twisted partners. It can be viewed as the elliptic deformation of Wakimoto realization. Two screening currents are constructed; they commute or anti-commute with $U_{q,p}(\widehat{sl_2})$ modulo total q-differences. The free fields realization for two types vertex operators nominated as the type $I$ and the type $II$ vertex operators are presented. The twisted version of the two types vertex operators are also obtained. They all play crucial roles in calculating correlation functions.
