We analyze the W_N^l algebras according to their conjectured realization as the second Hamiltonian structure of the integrable hierarchy resulting from the interchange of x and t in the l^{th} flow of the sl(N) KdV hierarchy. The W_4^3…
These days it is common for young operator algebraists to know a lot about C*-algebras, or a lot about von Neumann algebras -- but not both. Though a natural consequence of the breadth and depth of each subject, this is unfortunate as the…
The purely algebraic notion of CQG algebra (algebra of functions on a compact quantum group) is defined. In a straightforward algebraic manner, the Peter-Weyl theorem for CQG algebras and the existence of a unique positive definite Haar…
A class of classical affine W-algebras are shown to be isomorphic as differential algebras to the coordinate rings of double coset spaces of certain prounipotent proalgebraic groups. As an application, integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies…

We survey several generalizations of the Weyl algebra including generalized Weyl algebras, twisted generalized Weyl algebras, quantized Weyl algebras, and Bell-Rogalski algebras. Attention is paid to ring-theoretic properties,…
Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group, and $w: G\to (0, \infty)$ be a Borel measurable weighted function. In this paper, the algebraic and topological properties of group algebra are studied and assessed. We show that the weighted…
Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 and O be a nilpotent orbit in g. Then Orb is a symplectic algebraic variety and one can ask whether it is possible to quantize $\Orb$ (in an…
We describe a new algebraic structure of "deformed chiral algebra" motivated by the study of the deformed W-algebras. We use it to gain some insights into the deformed Virasoro algebra.
Some ideas about phenomenological applications of quantum algebras to physics are reviewed. We examine in particular some applications of the algebras $U_ q (su_2)$ and $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ to various dynamical systems and to atomic and…
To each symmetric algebra we associate a family of algebras that we call quantum affine wreath algebras. These can be viewed both as symmetric algebra deformations of affine Hecke algebras of type $A$ and as quantum deformations of affine…
Recently it has been discovered that the W-algebras (orbifold of) WD_n can be defined even for negative integers n by an analytic continuation of their coupling constants. In this letter we shall argue that also the algebras WA_{-n-1} can…
In this survey article we give basic introduction to the theory of quantum families of maps. We begin with a general look at non-commutative (or "quantum") topology. Then we formulate all our results in this language. Existence of quantum…
Axial algebras are a recently introduced class of non-associative algebra motivated by applications to groups and vertex-operator algebras. We develop the structure theory of axial algebras focussing on two major topics: (1) radical and…
In this note, we show that a von Neumann algebra can be written as the linking von Neumann algebra of a W*-TRO if and only if it contains no abelian direct summand. We also provide some new characterizations of nuclear TROs and…
This paper is concerned with the construction of a small, but non-trivial, example of a polynomial identity algebra, which we call the \emph{Jackson algebra}, that will be used in sequels to this paper to study non-commutative arithmetic…
We extend the notion of semi-infinite cohomology of Lie algebras to include cases where the Lie algebra does not admit a semi-infinite structure but satisfies a mild condition. Our construction clarifies the definition of affine W-algebras…
We study the problem of classification of triples ($\mathfrak{g}, f, k$), where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple Lie algebra, $f$ its nilpotent element and $k \in \CC$, for which the simple $W$-algebra $W_k (\mathfrak{g}, f)$ is rational.
With slight modifications in the zero modes contributions, the positive and negative screening currents for the quantum deformed W-algebra W_{q,p}(g) can be put together to form a single algebra which can be regarded as an elliptic…
The $\kappa -$Poincare group and its algebra in an arbitrary basis are constructed. The $\kappa -$de\-formation of the Weyl group and its algebra in any dimensions and in the reference frame in which $g_{00}=0$ are discussed.
