Abstract
By taking a special constraint for a general realization of Y ( sl (2)), two sets of sl (2) algebras are presented, in which a u (1) algebra is hidden. With the help of this constraint, the block-diagonal form can be written to the generator J of Yangian algebras, and especially it is a rotational transformation of a spin in the elementary quantum mechanics. This sheds new light on the physical meaning of Y ( sl (2)).
