The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is known to be isomorphic to ${\cal W}_{1+\infty}$, the $W$-algebra that characterizes the bosonic higher spin -- CFT duality. In this paper we propose defining relations of the Yangian that are…

Let g be an affine Lie algebra with associated Yangian Y_hg. We prove the existence of two meromorphic R-matrices associated to any pair of representations of Y_hg in the category O. They are related by a unitary constraint and constructed…

We discuss applications of the $q$-characters to the computation of the $R$-matrices. In particular, we describe the $R$-matrix acting in the tensor square of the first fundamental representation of E$_8$ and in a number of other cases,…

We prove an analogue of the Sylvester theorem for the generator matrices of the quantum affine algebra ${\rm U}_q(\hat{\mathfrak{gl}}_n)$. We then use it to give an explicit realization of the skew representations of the quantum affine…

Quantum universal enveloping algebras, quantum elliptic algebras and double (deformed) Yangians provide fundamental algebraic structures relevant for many integrable systems. They are described in the FRT formalism by R-matrices which are…

In our recent papers the centralizer construction was applied to the series of classical Lie algebras to produce the quantum algebras called (twisted) Yangians. Here we extend this construction to the series of the symmetric groups S(n). We…

We discuss some aspects of the deformed W-algebras W_{q,t}[g]. In particular, we derive an explicit formula for the Kac determinant, and discuss the center when t^2 is a primitive k-th root of unity. The relation of the structure of…

The connection between simple Lie algebras and their Yangian algebras has a long history. In this work, we construct finite-dimensional representations of Yangian algebras $\mathsf{Y}(\mathfrak{sl}_{n})$ using the quiver approach. Starting…

We propose the notion of q-characters for finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. It is motivated by our theory of deformed W-algebras. We show that the q-characters give rise to a homomorphism from the Grothendieck…
