The centralizer construction and Yangian-type algebras
Abstract
Let be a positive integer. The Yangian of the general linear Lie algebra has countably many generators and quadratic-linear defining relations, which can be packed into a single matrix relation using the Yang matrix -- the famous RTT presentation. Alternatively, can be built from certain centralizer subalgebras of the universal enveloping algebras , with the use of a limit transition as . This approach is called the \emph{centralizer construction}. The paper shows that a generalization of the centralizer construction leads to a new family of Yangian-type algebras (the Yangian being the first term of this family). For the new algebras, the RTT presentation seems to be missing, but a number of properties of the Yangian persist. In particular, possesses a system of quadratic-linear defining relations. The algebras () provide a kind of quantization for a special double Poisson bracket (in the sense of Van den Bergh) on the free associative algebra with generators.
