In this paper we study the tensor powers of the standard representation of the quantum super-algebra $U_q(sl(2|1)$, focusing on the rings of its algebra endomorphisms, called centraliser algebras and denoted by $LG_n$. Their dimensions were…

In this paper, we study the quantum virtual Grothendieck ring, denoted by $\frakK_q(\g)$, which was introduced in [39], and further investigated in [26, 25]. Our approach involves examining this ring from two perspectives: first, by…

We propose a new realization of the elliptic quantum group equipped with the H-Hopf algebroid structure on the basis of the elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2). The algebra U_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2) has a constructive definition in terms of the…

An open issue in loop quantum gravity (LQG) is the introduction of a non-vanishing cosmological constant $\Lambda$. In 3d, Chern-Simons theory provides some guiding lines: $\Lambda$ appears in the quantum deformation of the gauge group. The…

The paper defines the notion of alternative loop algebra F[Q] for any nonassociative Moufang loop Q as being any non-zero homomorphic image of the loop algebra FQ of a loop Q over a field F. For the class M of all nonassociative alternative…

In this paper, we present an approach to the definition of multiparameter quantum groups by studying Hopf algebras with triangular decomposition. Classifying all of these Hopf algebras which are of what we call weakly separable type over a…

We prove a combinatorial rule for a complete decomposition, in terms of Langlands parameters, for representations of p-adic $GL_n$ that appear as parabolic induction from a large family (ladder representations). Our rule obviates the need…

We construct finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras \mathfrak u_{r,s}(G_2) (i.e. restricted 2-parameter quantum groups) from the 2-parameter quantum group U_{r,s}(G_2) defined in \cite{HS}, which turn out to be of Drinfel'd doubles, where…

Maximal parabolic subalgebras of untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras were studied in the context of Borel-de Siebenthal theory in [13], where they were realized as certain equivariant map algebras with a non-free abelian group action. In…
