Around 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3). Recently we introduced a central extension $\Delta$ of AW(3) called the universal Askey-Wilson algebra. In this paper we discuss a connection between $\Delta$ and the…
Inspired by a profound observation on the Racah--Wigner coefficients of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, the Askey--Wilson algebras were introduced in the early 1990s. A universal analog $\triangle_q$ of the Askey--Wilson algebras was recently…
The original Askey-Wilson algebra introduced by Zhedanov encodes the bispectrality properties of the eponym polynomials. The name 'Askey-Wilson algebra' is currently used to refer to a variety of related structures that appear in a large…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote a field, and fix a nonzero $q\in\mathbb F$ such that $q^4\not=1$. The universal Askey-Wilson algebra $\Delta_q$ is the associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The…
Recently Pascal Baseilhac and Stefan Kolb obtained a PBW basis for the $q$-Onsager algebra $\mathcal O_q$. They defined the PBW basis elements recursively, and it is obscure how to express them in closed form. To mitigate the difficulty, we…
Since the introduction of Askey-Wilson algebras by Zhedanov in 1991, the classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible modules of Askey-Wilson algebras remains open. A universal analog $\triangle_q$ of the Askey-Wilson algebras was…
A description of the embedding of the universal Askey--Wilson algebra, AW(3), in $U_q(sl_2)^{\otimes 3}$ is given in terms of the universal R-matrix of $U_q(sl_2)$. The generators of the centralizer of $U_q(sl_2)$ in its three-fold product…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ denote an algebraically closed field. Denote the three-element set by $\mathcal{X}=\{A,B,C\}$, and let $\mathbb{F}\left<\mathcal{X}\right>$ denote the free unital associative $\mathbb{F}$-algebra on $\mathcal{X}$. Fix a…
Let $\C$ denote the field of complex numbers, and fix a nonzero $q \in \C$ such that $q^4 \ne 1$. Define a $\C$-algebra $\Delta_q$ by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are $A,B,C$. The relations assert that each…
The Askey--Wilson algebras were used to interpret the algebraic structure hidden in the Racah--Wigner coefficients of the quantum algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. In this paper, we display an injection of a universal analog $\triangle_q$ of…
Automorphisms of the infinite dimensional Onsager algebra are introduced. Certain quotients of the Onsager algebra are formulated using a polynomial in these automorphisms. In the simplest case, the quotient coincides with the classical…
The Askey-Wilson polynomials are a four-parameter family of orthogonal symmetric Laurent polynomials $R_n[z]$ which are eigenfunctions of a second-order $q$-difference operator $L$, and of a second-order difference operator in the variable…
This paper builds on the previous paper arXiv:math/0612730 by the author, where a relationship between Zhedanov's algebra AW(3) and the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) corresponding to the Askey-Wilson polynomials was established. It is…
The Heun-Askey-Wilson algebra is introduced through generators $\{\boX,\boW\}$ and relations. These relations can be understood as an extension of the usual Askey-Wilson ones. A central element is given, and a canonical form of the…
Zhedanov's algebra AW(3) is considered with explicit structure constants such that, in the basic representation, the first generator becomes the second order q-difference operator for the Askey-Wilson polynomials. It is proved that this…
Assume that $\mathbb F$ is an algebraically closed field and let $q$ denote a nonzero scalar in $\mathbb F$ that is not a root of unity. The universal Askey--Wilson algebra $\triangle_q$ is a unital associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined…
The Askey--Wilson polynomials are the most general classical orthogonal polynomials that are known and the Nassrallah--Rahman integral is a very general extension of Euler's integral representation of the classical $_2F_1$ function. Based…
The universal Askey-Wilson algebra $AW(3)$ can be obtained as the commutant of $U_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))$ in $U_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))^{\otimes3}$. We analyze the commutant of…
We study a family of integrals parameterised by $ N = 2,3,\dots $ generalising the Askey-Wilson integral $ N=2 $ which has arisen in the theory of $q$-analogs of monodromy preserving deformations of linear differential systems and in theory…
We propose a definition by generators and relations of the rank $n-2$ Askey-Wilson algebra $\mathfrak{aw}(n)$ for any integer $n$, generalising the known presentation for the usual case $n=3$. The generators are indexed by connected subsets…
