We define an algebra on two generators which we call the Tridiagonal algebra, and we consider its irreducible modules. The algebra is defined as follows. Let K denote a field, and let $\beta, \gamma, \gamma^*, \varrho, \varrho^*$ denote a…

We discuss a connection between the algebra $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_2})$ and the tridiagonal pairs of $q$-Racah type. To describe the connection, let $x,y^{\pm 1},z$ denote the equitable generators for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_2})$. Let $U^\vee_q$…

A procedure to construct $K$-matrices from the generalized $q$-Onsager algebra $\cO_{q}(\hat{g})$ is proposed. This procedure extends the intertwiner techniques used to obtain scalar (c-number) solutions of the reflection equation to…

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 give a new presentation of the Yangian for the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2m}$. It relies on the Gauss decomposition of the generator matrix in the $R$-matrix presentation. The defining relations between the…

A description of the embedding of the universal Askey--Wilson algebra, AW(3), in $U_q(sl_2)^{\otimes 3}$ is given in terms of the universal R-matrix of $U_q(sl_2)$. The generators of the centralizer of $U_q(sl_2)$ in its three-fold product…

We establish an explicit algebra isomorphism between the quantum reflection algebra for the $U_q(\hat{sl_2})$ R-matrix and a new type of current algebra. These two algebras are shown to be two realizations of a special case of tridiagonal…

We use combinatorics of $qq$-characters to study extensions of deformed $W$-algebras. We describe additional currents and part of the relations in the cases of $\mathfrak{gl}(n|m)$ and $\mathfrak{osp}(2|2n)$.

Let $G$ be a connected simply-connected simple complex algebraic group and $\mathfrak{g}$ the corresponding simple Lie algebra. In the first half of the present paper, we study the relation between the positive part $U_q(\mathfrak{n^+})$ of…

For simply-laced quivers, we consider the fixed-point subalgebra of the quiver Hecke algebra under the homogeneous sign map. This leads to a new family of algebras we call alternating quiver Hecke algebras. We give a basis theorem and a…

In this study, we focus on the positive part $U_q^{+}$ of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(C(2)^{(2)})$. This algebra admits a presentation with two two generators $e_{\alpha}$ and $e_{\delta-\alpha}$, which satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre…

We describe the generators and prove a number of relations for the construction of a planar algebra from the restricted quantum group $\bar{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2})$. This is a diagrammatic description of…

The half-infinite XXZ open spin chain with general integrable boundary conditions is considered within the recently developed `Onsager's approach'. Inspired by the finite size case, for any type of integrable boundary conditions it is shown…

We use the technique of quantum skew Howe duality to investigate the monoidal category of exterior powers of the standard representation of $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(1|1))$. This produces a complete diagrammatic description of the category in…

The $sl_N$-Onsager algebra has been introduced by Uglov and Ivanov in 1995. In this letter, a FRT presentation of the $sl_N$-Onsager algebra is given, its current algebra and commutative subalgebra are constructed. Certain quotients of the…

We consider the quantum group $U_q(g)$ associated with a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $g$. We display a presentation for $U_q(g)$ that we find attractive; we call this the equitable presentation. For $g=sl_2$ the equitable presentation…

An alternative to the Chevalley description of Lie algebra sl(n+1), of its universal enveloping algebra U[sl(n+1)] and of its q-deformed analogue U_q[sl(n+1)] in terms of generators, called creation and annihilation generators (CAGs), and…

The equitable presentation of the quantum algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl_2})$ is considered. This presentation was originally introduced by T. Ito and P. Terwilliger. In this paper, following Terwilliger's recent works the (nonstandard) positive…

We consider the algebra $\square_q$ which is a mild generalization of the quantum algebra $U_q(\frak{sl}_2)$. The algebra $\square_q$ is defined by generators and relations. The generators are $\{x_i\}_{i\in \mathbb{Z}_4}$, where…

We consider the extended superconformal algebras of the Knizhnik-Bershadsky type with $W$-algebra like composite operators occurring in the commutation relations, but with generators of conformal dimension 1,$\frac{3}{2}$ and 2, only. These…
