Two descriptions of the quantum affine algebra U_v(hat{mathfrak{sl}}₂) via Hall algebra approach

We compare the reduced Drinfeld doubles of the composition subalgebras of the category of representations of the Kronecker quiver $\overr{Q}$ and of the category of coherent sheaves on ${\mathbb P}^1$. Using this approach, we show that the Drinfeld--Beck isomorphism for the quantized enveloping algebra $U_v(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ is a corollary of an equivalence between the derived categories $D^b\bigl(\Rep(\overr{Q})\bigr)$ and $D^b\bigl(\Coh({\mathbb P}^1)\bigr)$. This technique also allows to reprove several technical results on the integral form of $U_v(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$.
