We give a uniform interpretation of the classical continuous Chebyshev's and Hahn's orthogonal polynomials of discrete variable in terms of Feigin's Lie algebra gl(N), where N is any complex number. One can similarly interpret Chebyshev's…
The Yangian symmetry Y(su($n$)) of the Calogero-Sutherland-Moser spin model is reconsidered. The Yangian generators are constructed from two non-commuting su($n$)-loop algebras. The latters generate an infinite dimensional symmetry algebra…
We construct a homomorphism from the affine Yangian associated with $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(q_u-q_{u+1})$ to the universal enveloping algebra of a $W$-algebra associated with $\mathfrak{gl}(\sum_{s=1}^lq_s)$ and a nilpotent element of type…
Important characteristics of the loop approach to quantum gravity are a specific choice of the algebra A of observables and of a representation of A on a measure space over the space of generalized connections. This representation is…
A bicovariant calculus of differential operators on a quantum group is constructed in a natural way, using invariant maps from \fun\ to \uqg\ , given by elements of the pure braid group. These operators --- the `reflection matrix' $Y \equiv…
We study in detail the structure of the Yangian Y(gl(N)) and of some new Yangian-type algebras called twisted Yangians. The algebra Y(gl(N)) is a `quantum' deformation of the universal enveloping algebra U(gl(N)[x]), where gl(N)[x] is the…
We find the Hopf algebra $U_{g,h}$ dual to the Jordanian matrix quantum group $GL_{g,h}(2)$. As an algebra it depends only on the sum of the two parameters and is split in two subalgebras: $U'_{g,h}$ (with three generators) and $U(Z)$ (with…
The rational quantized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation (qKZ equation) associated with the Lie algebra $sl_2$ is a system of linear difference equations with values in a tensor product of $sl_2$ Verma modules. We solve the equation in terms…
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 study the quantum vertex algebraic framework for the Yangians of RTT-type and the braided Yangians associated with Hecke symmetries, introduced by Gurevich and Saponov. First, we construct several families of modules for the…
We show that a certain class of light-like Wilson loops exhibits a Yangian symmetry at one loop, or equivalently, in an Abelian theory. The Wilson loops we discuss are equivalent to one-loop MHV amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in…
Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}(\mathbb{k})$ be the general linear Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic zero. Fix an arbitrary even nilpotent element $e$ in $\mathfrak{g}$ and let…
Starting from a finite-dimensional representation of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ for a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ in Drinfeld's original presentation, we construct a Hopf algebra $X_\mathcal{I}(\mathfrak{g})$, called the extended…
Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras whose structure constants are power series in $h$. They are derived from the quantized enveloping algebras $\uqg$. The quantum Lie bracket satisfies a generalization of antisymmetry.…
We compute the center and Azumaya locus in the simplest non-abelian examples of quantized multiplicative quiver varieties at a root of unity: quantum Weyl algebras of rank $N$, and quantum differential operators on the quantum group…
We study the Verma modules M(mu(u)) over the Yangian Y(a) associated with a simple Lie algebra a. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducibility of M(mu(u)). Moreover, regarding the simple quotient L(mu(u)) of M(mu(u)) as an…
We introduce the $h$-adic quantum vertex algebras associated with the rational $R$-matrix in types $B$, $C$ and $D$, thus generalizing the Etingof--Kazhdan's construction in type $A$. Next, we construct the algebraically independent…
In the two previous papers of this series we defined a new combinatorical approach to quantum gravity, Algebraic Quantum Gravity (AQG). We showed that AQG reproduces the correct infinitesimal dynamics in the semiclassical limit, provided…
We show that the Yangian Yn over gl_n possesses some features of the ring of regular functions on GL_n. In particular, we use the theory of quasideterminants to construct noncommutative flags associated to Yn. In so doing, a class of…
A well-known and old result of Hazewinkel and Koszul states that the cohomology of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra is isomorphic, up to a suitable shift, to its twisted homology, a Lie-theoretical version of Poincare duality. This paper…
