Abstract/Summary:
We use the idea of free fields to obtain highest weight representations for the extended affine Lie algebra gl2C q&d15; and gl3C q&d15; , coordinatized by the quantum torus Cq and go on to construct a contravariant hermitian form. We further give a necessary and sufficient condition such that the contravariant hermitian form is positive definite.
