An explicit homomorphism that relates the elements of the infinite dimensional non-Abelian algebra generating $O_q(\hat{sl_2})$ currents and the standard generators of the $q-$Onsager algebra is proposed. Two straightforward applications of…
Two different types of centrally extended quantum reflection algebras are introduced. Realizations in terms of the elements of the central extension of the Yang-Baxter algebra are exhibited. A coaction map is identified. For the special…
Using a geometrical approach to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, the quantum algebra ${\cal U}_{\hbar}(sl_{2})$ and its universal quantum $R$-matrix are explicitely constructed as functionals of the associated classical $r$-matrix. In this…
We study solutions of the reflection equation associated with the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{gl}(N))$ and obtain diagonal K-operators in terms of the Cartan elements of a quotient of $U_{q}(gl(N))$. We also consider intertwining…
The connection between the R-matrix realization and Drinfeld's realization of the quantum loop algebra $U_q(D^{(2)}_n)$ is considered using the Gaussian decomposition approach proposed by J. Ding and I. B. Frenkel. Our main result is a…
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…
We propose a new dynamical reflection algebra, distinct from the previous dynamical boundary algebra and semi-dynamical reflection algebra. The associated Yang-Baxter equations, coactions, fusions, and commuting traces are derived. Explicit…
We consider intertwining relations of the triangular $q$-Onsager algebra, and obtain generic triangular boundary $K$-operators in terms of the Borel subalgebras of $U_{q}(sl_2)$. These $K$-operators solve the reflection equation.
Four apparently different bosonizations of the $U_q(su(2)_k)$ quantum current algebra for arbitrary level $k$ have recently been proposed in the literature. However, the relations among them have so far remained unclear except in one case.…
The tridiagonal algebra is defined by two generators and two relations, called the tridiagonal relations. Special cases of the tridiagonal algebra include the $q$-Onsager algebra, the positive part of the $q$-deformed enveloping algebra…
We consider $\rm R$-matrix realization of the quantum deformations of the loop algebras $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$ corresponding to non-exceptional affine Lie algebras of type $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}=A^{(1)}_{N-1}$, $B^{(1)}_n$, $C^{(1)}_n$,…
Quadratic algebras related to the reflection equations are introduced. They are quantum group comodule algebras. The quantum group $F_q(GL(2))$ is taken as the example. The properties of the algebras (center, representations, realizations,…
This article gives a summary of the finite-dimesional irreducible representations of the $q$-Onsager algebra, which are treated in detail in our paper `The augmented tridiagonal algebra'.
We study relations between the two-parameter $\U_q(sl(n))$-invariant deformation quantization on $sl^*(n)$ and the reflection equation algebra. The latter is described by a quantum permutation on $\End(\C^n)$ given explicitly. The…
Poisson algebraic structures on current manifolds (of maps from a finite dimensional Riemannian manifold into a 2-dimensional manifold) are investigated in terms of symplectic geometry. It is shown that there is a one to one correspondence…
We establish an explicit correspondence between the Drinfeld current algebra presentation for the two-parameter quantum affine algebra $U_{r, s}(\mathrm{C}_n^{(1)})$ and the $R$-matrix realization \'a la Faddeev, Reshetikhin and Takhtajan.
A procedure to construct $K$-matrices from the generalized $q$-Onsager algebra $\cO_{q}(\hat{g})$ is proposed. This procedure extends the intertwiner techniques used to obtain scalar (c-number) solutions of the reflection equation to…
We examine super symmetric representations of the B-type Hecke algebra. We exploit such representations to obtain new non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation associated to the super algebra U_q(gl(m|n)). The boundary super algebra…
We show that symmetries and gauge symmetries of a large class of 2-dimensional sigma models are described by a new type of a current algebra. The currents are labeled by pairs of a vector field and a 1-form on the target space of the sigma…
Let $K$ denote a field with characteristic 0 and let $T$ denote an indeterminate. We give a presentation for the three-point loop algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2 \otimes K\lbrack T, T^{-1},(T-1)^{-1}\rbrack$ via generators and relations. This…
