A presentation of the centralizer of the three-fold tensor product of the spin $s$ representation of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is provided. It is expressed as a quotient of the Askey-Wilson braid algebra. This newly defined…

The Dixmier Conjecture says that every endomorphism of the (first) Weyl algebra $A_1$ (over a field of characteristic zero) is an automorphism, i.e., if $PQ-QP=1$ for some $P, Q \in A_1$ then $A_1 = K \langle P, Q \rangle$. The Weyl algebra…

Generalized Baxter's TQ-relations and the QQ-system are systems of algebraic relations in the category O of representations of the Borel subalgebra of the quantum affine algebra U_q(g^), which we established in our earlier works…

We consider the PBW basis of the type A quantum toroidal algebra developed by the author, and prove commutation relations between its generators akin to the ones studied by Burban-Schiffmann for n=1. This gives rise to a new presentation of…

Assume that $\mathbb F$ is an algebraically closed field and let $q$ denote a nonzero scalar in $\mathbb F$ that is not a root of unity. The universal Askey--Wilson algebra $\triangle_q$ is a unital associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined…

The so called $q$-triplets were conjectured in 2004 and then found in nature in 2005. A relevant further step was achieved in 2005 when the possibility was advanced that they could reflect an entire infinite algebra based on combinations of…

We define two algebra automorphisms $T_0$ and $T_1$ of the $q$-Onsager algebra $B_c$, which provide an analog of G. Lusztig's braid group action for quantum groups. These automorphisms are used to define root vectors which give rise to a…

A novel generalization of the Askey-Wilson algebra is presented and shown to be associated with coproducts in the quantum algebra $U_q(su(1,1))$. This algebra has 15 non-commuting generators given by $Q^{(A)}$, with $A\subset \{1,2,3,4\}$…

We produce explicit generators of the classical W-algebras associated with the principal nilpotents in the simple Lie algebras of all classical types and in the exceptional Lie algebra of type $G_2$. The generators are given by determinant…

The positive part $U^+_q$ of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ has a presentation with two generators $A,B$ that satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre relations. We introduce a PBW basis for $U^+_q$, said to be alternating. Each element of this PBW…

We present a classification of $W$ algebras and superalgebras arising in Abelian as well as non Abelian Toda theories. Each model, obtained from a constrained WZW action, is related with an $Sl(2)$ subalgebra (resp. $OSp(1|2)$ superalgebra)…

In 1998, Georgia Benkart and Tom Roby introduced the down-up algebra $\mathcal A$. The algebra $\mathcal A$ is associative, noncommutative, and infinite-dimensional. It is defined by two generators $A,B$ and two relations called the down-up…

We define quantum W-algebras generalizing the results of Reshetikhin and the second author, and Shiraishi-Kubo-Awata-Odake. The quantum W-algebra associated to sl_N is an associative algebra depending on two parameters. For special values…

We refine a conjecture by Lehrer and Solomon on the structure of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a finite Coxeter group $W$ and relate it to the descent algebra of $W$. As a result, we claim that both the group algebra of $W$, as well as the…

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…

We formulate a conjecture, stating that the algebra of $n$ pairs of deformed Bose creation and annihilation operators is a factor-algebra of $U_q[osp(1/2n)]$, considered as a Hopf algebra, and prove it for $n=2$ case. To this end we show…

Generalizations of the q-Onsager algebra are introduced and studied. In one of the simplest case and q=1, the algebra reduces to the one proposed by Uglov-Ivanov. In the general case and $q\neq 1$, an explicit algebra homomorphism…

Considering anyonic oscillators in a two-dimensional lattice, we realize the quantum semi-group $sl_{(q,s)}(2)$ by means of a generalized Schwinger construction. We find that the parameter $q$ of the algebra is connected to the statistical…

Automorphisms of the infinite dimensional Onsager algebra are introduced. Certain quotients of the Onsager algebra are formulated using a polynomial in these automorphisms. In the simplest case, the quotient coincides with the classical…
