We consider intertwining relations of the augmented $q$-Onsager algebra introduced by Ito and Terwilliger, and obtain generic (diagonal) boundary $K$-operators in terms of the Cartan element of $U_{q}(sl_2)$. These $K$-operators solve…
Hilbert space representations of cross product *-algebras of the Hopf *-algebras U_q(gl_2) with the coordinate algebras O(C^2_q) and O(R^3_q) of quantum vector spaces and U_q(su_2) with coordinate algebras O(SU_q(2)) and O(S^2_q) of…
We show that the quantum algebra $U_q(sl_2)$ has a presentation with generators $x,x^{-1},y,z$ and relations $x x^{-1}=1$, $x^{-1} x=1$, $\frac{qxy-q^{-1}yx}{q-q^{-1}}=1$, $\frac{qyz-q^{-1}zy}{q-q^{-1}}=1$,…
Non-commutative torsors (equivalently, two-cocycles) for a Hopf algebra can be used to twist comodule algebras. After surveying and extending the literature on the subject, we prove a theorem that affords a presentation by generators and…
Polynomial relations for generators of $su(2)$ Lie algebra in arbitrary representations are found. They generalize usual relation for Pauli operators in spin 1/2 case and permit to construct modified Holstein-Primakoff transformations in…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semi-simple Lie algebra with fixed root system, and $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ the quantization of its universal enveloping algebra. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a subset of the simple roots of $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that the…
A three-dimensional $q$-Lie algebra of $SU_q(2)$ is realized in terms of first- and second-order differential operators. Starting from the $q$-Lie algebra one has constructed a left-covariant differential calculus on the quantum group. The…
Let ${\cal S}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the set of all self-adjoint operators (not necessarily bounded) on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, which is the set of all physical quantities on a quantum system $\mathcal{H}$. We introduce a binary…
The concept of cyclic tridiagonal pairs is introduced, and explicit examples are given. For a fairly general class of cyclic tridiagonal pairs with cyclicity N, we associate a pair of `divided polynomials'. The properties of this pair…
We propose a nonstandard approach to solving the apparent incompatibility between the coalgebra structure of some inhomogeneous quantum groups and their natural complex conjugation. In this work we sketch the general idea and develop the…
The structure positive of unitary irreducible representations of the noncompact $u_q(2,1)$ quantum algebra that are related to a positive discrete series is examined. With the aid of projection operators for the $su_q(2)$ subalgebra, a…
A bicovariant calculus of differential operators on a quantum group is constructed in a natural way, using invariant maps from \fun\ to \uqg\ , given by elements of the pure braid group. These operators --- the `reflection matrix' $Y \equiv…
The aim of this paper is to derive (by using two operators, representable by a Jacobi matrix) a family of q-orthogonal polynomials, which turn to be dual to alternative q-Charlier polynomials. A discrete orthogonality relation and a…
We study, from a combinatorial viewpoint, the quantized coordinate ring of mxn matrices over an infinite field K (also called quantum matrices) and its torus-invariant prime ideals. The first part of this paper shows that this algebra,…
We review properties of q-orthogonal polynomials, related to their orthogonality, duality and connection with the theory of symmetric (self-adjoint) operators, represented by a Jacobi matrix. In particular, we show how one can naturally…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…
We introduce $*$-structures on braided groups and braided matrices. Using this, we show that the quantum double $D(U_q(su_2))$ can be viewed as the quantum algebra of observables of a quantum particle moving on a hyperboloid in q-Minkowski…
In this paper, we discuss new results related to the generalized discrete $q$-Hermite II polynomials $ \tilde h_{n,\alpha}(x;q)$, introduced by Mezlini et al. in 2014. Our aim is to give a continuous orthogonality relation, a $q$-integral…
In \cite{rupel3},the authors defined algebra homomorphisms from the dual Ringel-Hall algebra of certain hereditary abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ to an appropriate $q$-polynomial algebra. In the case that $\mathcal{A}$ is the representation…
The equitable presentation of the quantum superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_q(1|2)$, in which all generators appear on an equal footing, is exhibited. It is observed that in their equitable presentations, the quantum algebras…
