Generators of the quantum $SU_q(2)$ algebra are obtained in the explicit form in the basis where the operator $\exp {J_z\over 2} J_x \exp {J_z\over 2}$ is diagonal. It is shown that the solution of this problem is related to the…
In this paper we define infinite-dimensional algebra and its representation, whose basis is naturally identified with semi-infinite configurations of the square ladder model. We also extrapolate the ideas for the cyclic 3-leg triangular…
A description of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[sl(n+1|m)]$ and in particular of the special linear superalgebra $sl(n+1|m)$ via creation and annihilation generators (CAGs) is given. It provides an alternative to the canonical description of…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote an algebraically closed field and assume that $q\in \mathbb F$ is a primitive $d^{\rm \, th}$ root of unity with $d\not=1,2,4$. The universal Askey--Wilson algebra $\triangle_q$ is a unital associative $\mathbb…

The oscillator Racah algebra $\mathcal{R}_n(\mathfrak{h})$ is realized by the intermediate Casimir operators arising in the multifold tensor product of the oscillator algebra $\mathfrak{h}$. An embedding of the Lie algebra…
An infinite dimensional algebra denoted $\bar{\cal A}_q$ that is isomorphic to a central extension of $U_q^+$ - the positive part of $U_q(\widehat{sl_2})$ - has been recently proposed by Paul Terwilliger. It provides an `alternating'…
Quantum Lie algebras $\qlie{g}$ are non-associative algebras which are embedded into the quantized enveloping algebras $U_q(g)$ of Drinfeld and Jimbo in the same way as ordinary Lie algebras are embedded into their enveloping algebras. The…
A complete list of Uq(sl2)-module algebra structures on the quantum plane is produced and the (uncountable family of) isomorphism classes of these structures are described. The composition series of representations in question are computed.…
The Racah algebra, a quadratic algebra with two independent generators, is central in the analysis of superintegrable models and encodes the properties of the Racah polynomials. It is the algebraic structure behind the su(1,1) Racah problem…
The objective of this paper is to determine the finite dimensional, indecomposable representations of the algebra that is generated by two complex structures over the real numbers. Since the generators satisfy relations that are similar to…
Recent results on the Racah algebra $\mathcal{R}_n$ of rank $n - 2$ are reviewed. $\mathcal{R}_n$ is defined in terms of generators and relations and sits in the centralizer of the diagonal action of $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ in…
In the present paper we construct all typical finite-dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra $U_{q}[gl(2/2)]$ at generic deformation parameter $q$. As in the non-deformed case the finite-dimensional…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ denote an algebraically closed field with characteristic $0$, and let $q$ denote a nonzero scalar in $\mathbb{F}$ that is not a root of unity. Let $\mathbb{Z}_4$ denote the cyclic group of order $4$. Let $\square_q$ denote…
We show that the full matrix algebra Mat_p(C) is a U-module algebra for U = U_q sl(2), a 2p^3-dimensional quantum sl(2) group at the 2p-th root of unity. Mat_p(C) decomposes into a direct sum of projective U-modules P^+_n with all odd n,…
We prove that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\textbf{F}_q)$ of traceless matrices over a finite field of characteristic $p$ can be generated by $2$ elements with exceptions when $(n, p)$ is $(3, 3)$ or $(4,2)$. In the latter cases, we…
The concept of cyclic tridiagonal pairs is introduced, and explicit examples are given. For a fairly general class of cyclic tridiagonal pairs with cyclicity N, we associate a pair of `divided polynomials'. The properties of this pair…

By solving a set of recursion relations for the matrix elements of the ${\cal U}_h(sl(2))$ generators, the finite dimensional highest weight representations of the algebra were obtained as factor representations. Taking a nonlinear…
We construct new families of U_q(gl_n)-modules by continuation from finite dimensional representations. Each such module is associated with a combinatorial object - admissible set of relations defined in \cite{FRZ}. More precisely, we prove…
