We study solutions of the reflection equation related to the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl_n})$. First, we explain how to construct a family of stochastic integrable vertex models with fixed boundary conditions. Then, we construct…

A relationship between quantum flag and Grassmann manifolds is revealed. This enables a formal diagonalization of quantum positive matrices. The requirement that this diagonalization defines a homomorphism leads to a left \Uh -- module…
Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum loop algebra U_h(Lg) of g degenerates to the Yangian Y_h(g). We strengthen this result by constructing an explicit algebra homomorphism Phi defined over Q[[h]]…
We study a class of quantized enveloping algebras, called twisted Yangians, associated with the symmetric pairs of types B, C, D in Cartan's classification. These algebras can be regarded as coideal subalgebras of the extended Yangian for…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a classical simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero or large enough, and let $\mathfrak n$ be a maximal nilpotent subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$. The main tool in…
Using the corepresentation of the quantum group $ SL_q(2)$ a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. The method allows us to treat the quantum plane and Podle\'s' quantum spheres in a…
This note considers a finite algebraic group $G$ acting on an affine variety $X$ by automorphisms. Results of Dufresne on polynomial separating algebras for linear representations of $G$ are extended to this situation. For that purpose, we…
We study the subspace of the exterior algebra of a simple complex Lie algebra linearly spanned by the copies of the little adjoint representation or, in the case of the Lie algebra of traceless matrices, by the copies of the n-th symmetric…
The pair consisting of a quantum group and its corresponding coideal subalgebra, known as a quantum symmetric pair, was developed independently by M. Noumi and G. Letzter through different approaches. The purpose of this paper is threefold.…
We develop the representation theory of shifted quantum affine algebras $\mathcal{U}_q^\mu(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ and of their truncations which appeared in the study of quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branches of 3d $N = 4$ SUSY quiver gauge…
The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…
We provide an alternative approach to the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan presentation of the quantum group U_q(g), with L-operators as generators and relations ruled by an R-matrix. We look at U_q(g) as being generated by the quantum Borel…
We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these…
The theory of quantum symmetric pairs as developed by the second author is based on coideal subalgebras of the quantized universal enveloping algebra for a semisimple Lie algebra. This paper investigates the center of these coideal…
