Inspired by a profound observation on the Racah--Wigner coefficients of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, the Askey--Wilson algebras were introduced in the early 1990s. A universal analog $\triangle_q$ of the Askey--Wilson algebras was recently…

A Leonard pair is a pair of diagonalizable linear transformations of a finite-dimensional vector space, each of which acts in an irreducible tridiagonal fashion on an eigenbasis for the other one. Let $\mathbb F$ denote an algebraically…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ denote an algebraically closed field. Denote the three-element set by $\mathcal{X}=\{A,B,C\}$, and let $\mathbb{F}\left<\mathcal{X}\right>$ denote the free unital associative $\mathbb{F}$-algebra on $\mathcal{X}$. Fix a…

In this paper we consider the automorphisms of the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) of type $\check{C_1}C_1$ which have a relatively simple action on the generators and on the parameters, notably a symmetry $t_4$ which sends the…

This paper builds on the previous paper arXiv:math/0612730 by the author, where a relationship between Zhedanov's algebra AW(3) and the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) corresponding to the Askey-Wilson polynomials was established. It is…

Let R be an integral domain, let a non-zero h in R be such that k := R/hR is a field, and let HA be the category of torsionless (or flat) Hopf algebras over R. We call H in HA a "quantized function algebra" (=QFA), resp. "quantized…

Around 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3). Recently we introduced a central extension $\Delta$ of AW(3) called the universal Askey-Wilson algebra. In this paper we discuss a connection between $\Delta$ and the…

Zhedanov's algebra AW(3) is considered with explicit structure constants such that, in the basic representation, the first generator becomes the second order q-difference operator for the Askey-Wilson polynomials. It is proved that this…

In 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW=AW(3) and used it to describe the Askey-Wilson polynomials. In this paper we introduce a central extension $\Delta$ of AW, obtained from AW by reinterpreting certain parameters as…

Since the introduction of Askey-Wilson algebras by Zhedanov in 1991, the classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible modules of Askey-Wilson algebras remains open. A universal analog $\triangle_q$ of the Askey-Wilson algebras was…

The Askey--Wilson algebras were used to interpret the algebraic structure hidden in the Racah--Wigner coefficients of the quantum algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. In this paper, we display an injection of a universal analog $\triangle_q$ of…

This paper establishes a comprehensive algebraic framework linking the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}_{3}$ to the Askey--Wilson algebras. First, we provide a manifestly symmetric reformulation of the algebra homomorphism from the universal…
