This paper is about the positive part $U^+_q$ of the quantum group $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$. The algebra $U^+_q$ has a presentation with two generators $A,B$ that satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre relations. Recently we introduced a type…
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…
A $q$-analogue of the Higgs algebra, which describes the symmetry properties of the harmonic oscillator on the $2$-sphere, is obtained as the commutant of the $\mathfrak{o}_{q^{1/2}}(2) \oplus \mathfrak{o}_{q^{1/2}}(2)$ subalgebra of…
An algebra is introduced which can be considered as a rank 2 extension of the Askey-Wilson algebra. Relations in this algebra are motivated by relations between coproducts of twisted primitive elements in the two-fold tensor product of the…
An algebraic interpretation of the one-variable quantum $q$-Krawtchouk polynomials is provided in the framework of the Schwinger realization of $\mathcal{U}_{q}(sl_{2})$ involving two independent $q$-oscillators. The polynomials are shown…
Let $A,A^*$ be the generators of the $q-$Onsager algebra. Analogues of Lusztig's $r-th$ higher order relations are proposed. In a first part, based on the properties of tridiagonal pairs of $q-$Racah type which satisfy the defining…
The positive part $U^+_q$ of $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ has a presentation with two generators $W_0$, $W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Serre relations. The algebra $U^+_q$ contains some elements, said to be alternating. There are…
The tridiagonal algebra is defined by two generators and two relations, called the tridiagonal relations. Special cases of the tridiagonal algebra include the $q$-Onsager algebra, the positive part of the $q$-deformed enveloping algebra…
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…
The positive part $U_q^+$ of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ admits an embedding into a $q$-shuffle algebra. This embedding was introduced by M. Rosso in 1995. In 2019, Terwilliger introduced the alternating elements $\{W_{-n}\}_{n \in…
In this paper, we give the oriented quantum algebra (abbr. OQA) structures on the tensor product of two different OQAs by using Chen's weak $\mathfrak{R}$-matrix in [J. Algebra 204(1998):504-531]. As a special case, the OQA structures on…
A brief and elementary introduction to the subject is presented. Two open problems are given.
A noncommutative *-algebra that generalizes the canonical commutation relations and that is covariant under the quantum groups SOq(3) or SOq(1,3) is introduced. The generating elements of this algebra are hermitean and can be identified…
The Cuntz algebra carries in a natural way the structure of a module algebra over the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(g)$, and the structure of a co-module algebra over the quantum group $G_q$ associated with $U_q(g)$. These two…
In this thesis, four realizations of the Onsager algebra are explored. We begin with its original definition as introduced by Lars Onsager. We then examine how the Onsager algebra can be presented as a Lie algebra with two generators and…
We define noncommutative deformations $W_q^s(G)$ of algebras of functions on certain (finite coverings of) transversal slices to the set of conjugacy classes in an algebraic group $G$ which play the role of Slodowy slices in algebraic group…
We study the Hochschild cohomology and the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the algebraic non-commutative torus/quantum torus orbifolds resulting by the action of finite subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$. We also examine the Poisson…
We derive orthogonality relations for discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals by means of operators of representations of the quantum algebra su_q(1,1). Spectra and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly. These…
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…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote a field, and fix a nonzero $q\in\mathbb F$ such that $q^4\not=1$. The universal Askey-Wilson algebra $\Delta_q$ is the associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The…
