Remarkable subalgebras of the Yangian for gl_n called the shifted Yangians were introduced in a recent work by Brundan and Kleshchev in relation to their study of finite W-algebras. In particular, in that work a classification of…

We consider integrable open spin chains related to the quantum affine algebras U_q(o(3)) and U_q(A_2^{(2)}). We discuss the symmetry algebras of these chains with the local C^3 space related to the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. The…

We construct a Lagrangian description of irreducible integer higher-spin representations of the Poincare group with an arbitrary Young tableaux having k rows, on a basis of the universal BRST approach. Starting with a description of bosonic…

Distances in the conformal manifold, the space of CFTs related by marginal deformations, can be measured in terms of the Zamolodchikov metric. Part of the CFT Distance Conjecture posits that points in this manifold where part of the…

We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory…

We apply novel techniques in planar superconformal Yang-Mills theory which stress the role of the Yangian algebra. We compute the first two Casimirs of the Yangian, which are identified with the first two local abelian Hamiltonians with…

We construct the family of spin chain Hamiltonians, which have affine quantum group symmetry. Their eigenvalues coincide with the eigenvalues of the usual spin chain Hamiltonians, but have the degeneracy of levels, corresponding to affine…

We construct an explicit set of generators for the finite W-algebras associated to nilpotent matrices in the symplectic or orthogonal Lie algebras whose Jordan blocks are all of the same size. We use these generators to show that such…

The integrable structure of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is based on Shastry's R-matrix and the Yangian of a centrally extended sl(2|2) superalgebra. Alcaraz and Bariev have shown that the model admits an integrable deformation whose…

In Section 1 we review various equivalent definitions of a vertex algebra V. The main novelty here is the definition in terms of an indefinite integral of the lambda-bracket. In Section 2 we construct, in the most general framework, the Zhu…

We propose a general method for constructing boundary integrable Gaudin models associated with (twisted) affine algebras ${\cal G}^{(k)} (k=1, 2)$, where ${\cal G}$ is a simple Lie algebra or superalgebra. Many new integrable Gaudin models…

In this paper, we study the fractional decomposition of the quantum enveloping affine algebras $U_Q(\hat A(n))$ and $U_Q(\hat{C}(n))$ with vanishing central charge in the limit $Q\to q=e^{\frac{2i\pi}k}$ . This decomposition is based on the…

We construct a non-perturbative action of the higher spin symmetry algebra on the asymptotic Yang-Mills phase space. We introduce a symmetry algebroid which admits a realization on the asymptotic phase space generated by a Noether charge…

We define the Drinfeld generators for $Y_3^+$, the twisted Yangian associated to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}_3(\mathbb{C})$. This allows us to define shifted twisted Yangians, which are certain subalgebras of $Y_3^+$. We show that there…

It is proved that the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to the irreducible highest weight module for the affine Kac-Moody algebra A_1^{(1)} of level k coincides with a certain W-algebra. In particular, a set of generators for…

Integrability conditions on local Hamiltonians for one-dimensional quantum systems to be free and interacting fermions are introduced. The definition of free fermion is the simultaneous satisfaction of the Yang-Baxter equation and Shastry's…

BMS algebra in three spacetime dimensions can be deformed into a two parameter family of algebra known as $W(a,b)$ algebra. For $a=0$, we show that other than $W(0,-1)$, no other $W(0,b)$ algebra admits a non-degenerate bilinear and thus…

Let $\tilde{\mathfrak g}$ be an affine Lie algebra of type $A_\ell^{(1)}$. Suppose we're given a $\mathbb Z$-gradation of the corresponding simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak g}_{-1}\oplus{\mathfrak g}_0 \oplus…

Truncated shifted Yangians are a family of algebras which naturally quantize slices in the affine Grassmannian. These algebras depend on a choice of two weights $\lambda$ and $\mu$ for a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, which we will assume is…

We introduce and begin to study Lie theoretical analogs of symplectic reflection algebras for a finite cyclic group, which we call "cyclic double affine Lie algebra". We focus on type A : in the finite (resp. affine, double affine) case, we…
