Let $W$ be a Coxeter group. The goal of the paper is to construct new Hopf algebras that contain Hecke algebras $H_{\bf q}(W)$ as (left) coideal subalgebras. Our Hecke-Hopf algebras ${\bf H}(W)$ have a number of applications. In particular…

We formulate a family of algebras, twisted Yangians (of split type) in current generators and relations, via a degeneration of the Drinfeld presentation of affine $\imath$quantum groups (associated with split Satake diagrams). These new…

We give a new type of Schur-Weyl duality for the representations of a family of quantum subgroups and their centralizer algebra. We define and classify singly-generated, Yang-Baxter relation planar algebras. We present the skein theoretic…

New deformed affine algebras A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{g}) are defined for any simply-laced classical Lie algebra g, which are generalizations of the algebra A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{sl_2}) recently proposed by Khoroshkin, Lebedev and Pakuliak (KLP).…

We construct an explicit set of algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of a nilpotent matrix in the Lie algebra gl_N(C). In particular, this gives a new proof of the…

We consider finite W-algebras U(g,e) associated to even multiplicity nilpotent elements in classical Lie algebras. We give a classification of finite dimensional irreducible U(g,e)-modules with integral central character in terms of the…

We define Drinfeld orbifold algebras as filtered algebras deforming the skew group algebra (semi-direct product) arising from the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring. They simultaneously generalize Weyl algebras, graded (or…

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…

The quantum toroidal algebra of $gl_1$ provides many deformed W-algebras associated with (super) Lie algebras of type A. The recent work by Gaiotto and Rapcak suggests that a wider class of deformed W-algebras including non-principal cases…

The complete structure of the Casimir ${\cal{W}\cal{A}}_{\it{N}}$ algebras are shown to exist in such a way that the Casimir ${\cal{W}\cal{A}}_{\it{N}}$ algebra is a kind of truncated type of $\cal{W}_{\infty}$ algebra both in the primary…

We investigate the W-algebra resulting from Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of a $B_2$ WZW model with respect to the grading induced by a short root. The quantum algebra, which is generated by three fields of spin-2 and a field of spin-1, is…

Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, let $\d_1, >..., \d_s\in \Der_K(A)$ be {\em commuting locally nilpotent} $K$-derivations such that $\d_i(x_j)=\d_{ij}$, the Kronecker delta, for some elements $x_1,..., x_s\in…

The universal $2$-parameter vertex algebra $W_{\infty}$ of type $W(2,3,4,\dots)$ serves as a classifying object for vertex algebras of type $W(2,3,\dots,N)$ for some $N$ in the sense that under mild hypothesis, all such vertex algebras…

A class of classical affine W-algebras are shown to be isomorphic as differential algebras to the coordinate rings of double coset spaces of certain prounipotent proalgebraic groups. As an application, integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies…

It is shown how the theory of classical $W$--algebras can be formulated on a higher genus Riemann surface in the spirit of Krichever and Novikov. An intriguing relation between the theory of $A_1$ embeddings into simple Lie algebras and the…

We clarify the notion of the DS --- generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov --- reduction approach to classical ${\cal W}$-algebras. We first strengthen an earlier theorem which showed that an $sl(2)$ embedding ${\cal S}\subset {\cal G}$ can be…

We classify the centers of the quantized Weyl algebras that are PI and derive explicit formulas for the discriminants of these algebras over a general class of polynomial central subalgebras. Two different approaches to these formulas are…
