Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…

The structure of the tensor product representation v_{\lambda_1}(x)\otimes V_{\lambda_2}(y) of U_q(\hat sl_2) is investigated at roots of unity. A polynomial identity is derived as an outcome. Also, new bases of v_{\lambda_1}(x)\otimes…

In this paper we introduce a new quantum algebra which specializes to the $2$-toroidal Lie algebra of type $A_1$. We prove that this quantum toroidal algebra has a natural triangular decomposition, a (topological) Hopf algebra structure and…

We consider the $R$-matrix presentations of the quantum queer superalgebra $U_q(q_n)$ and its affine counterpart $U_q(\widehat q_n)$. We derive crossing symmetry relations for the $R$-matrices and use them to construct central elements in…

By generalizing the Reshetikhin and Semenov-Tian-Shansky construction to supersymmetric cases, we obtain Drinfeld current realization for quantum affine superalgebra $U_q[gl(m|n)^{(1)}]$. We find a simple coproduct for the quantum current…

The graded reflection equation is investigated for the $U_{q}[sl(r|2m)^{(2)}]$ vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free parameters for some solutions depends…

Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ be a quantized affine Lie algebra. It is proven that the universal R-matrix $R$ of $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ satisfies the celebrated conjugation relation $R^\dagger=TR$ with $T$ the usual twist map. As applications, braid…

We continue our study of the representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra (=REA) on Hilbert spaces, focusing again on the REA constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the standard $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$ for…

We explore a curious type of equivalence between certain pairs of reflective and coreflective subcategories. We illustrate with examples involving noncommutative duality for C*-dynamical systems and compact quantum groups, as well as…

We introduce the notion of reflections for selfinjective algebras from the point of view of torsion theories induced by two-term tilting complexes. As an application, we determine the transformations of Brauer trees associated with…

{Although q-oscillators have been used extensively for realization of quantum universal enveloping algebras,such realization do not exist for quantum matrix algebras ( deformation of the algebra of functions on the group ). In this paper we…

A supersymmetric extension of the Hahn algebra is introduced. This quadratic superalgebra, which we call the Hahn superalgebra, is constructed using the realization provided by the Dunkl oscillator model in the plane, whose Hamiltonian…

The $q$-Onsager algebra $O_q$ is defined by two generators and two relations, called the $q$-Dolan/Grady relations. In 2019, Baseilhac and Kolb introduced two automorphisms of $O_q$, now called the Lusztig automorphisms. Recently, we…

Let q be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $\theta$ an automorphism of q of order m. We extend $\theta$ to an automorphism of the loop algebra of q and consider the fixed-point subalgebra $q[t,t^{-1}]^{\theta}$. Using a splitting of…

The standard generators of tridiagonal algebras, recently introduced by Terwilliger, are shown to generate a new (in)finite family of mutually commuting operators which extends the Dolan-Grady construction. The involution property relies on…

We consider GLq(N)-covariant quantum algebras with generators satisfying quadratic polynomial relations. We show that, up to some inessential arbitrariness, there are only two kinds of such quantum algebras, namely, the algebras with…

We present a new solution to the reflection equation associated with a coideal subalgebra of $U_q(A^{(1)}_{n-1})$ in the symmetric tensor representations and their dual. Elements of the $K$ matrix are expressed by a matrix product formula…

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

We compute the R-matrix which intertwines two dimensional evaluation representations with Drinfeld comultiplication for U_q(\widehat{sl}_2). This R-matrix contains terms proportional to the delta-function. We construct the algebra A(R)…
