A study is carried out of the elementary theory of quotients of symmetric groups in a similar spirit to [Sh:24]. Apart from the trivial and alternating subgroups, the normal subgroups of the full symmetric group S(mu) on an infinite…

We study solutions of the reflection equation associated with the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{gl}(N))$ and obtain diagonal K-operators in terms of the Cartan elements of a quotient of $U_{q}(gl(N))$. We also consider intertwining…

In this paper we study a quantum analogue of a degenerate principal series of $U_q \mathfrak{su}_{n,n}$-modules ($0<q<1$) related to the Shilov boundary of the quantum $n \times n$-matrix unit ball. We give necessary and sufficient…

From Carlitz's identity, we deduce two new $q$-supercongruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by Guo. These results establish new $q$-analogues of a supercongruence of Sun.

We continue investigating the superintegrability property of matrix models, i.e. factorization of the matrix model averages of characters. This paper focuses on the Gaussian Hermitian example, where the role of characters is played by the…

The asymptotic expansion of quantum knot invariants in complex Chern-Simons theory gives rise to factorially divergent formal power series. We conjecture that these series are resurgent functions whose Stokes automorphism is given by a pair…

For an integer partition $ \lambda$ of $n$ and an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, consider the expansion of the immanant $\text{Imm}^{\lambda}(A)$ as a sum indexed by permutations $\sigma$ of order $n$, with coefficients given by the irreducible…

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum loop algebra U_h(Lg) of g degenerates to the Yangian Y_h(g). We strengthen this result by constructing an explicit algebra homomorphism Phi defined over Q[[h]]…

Let $(V,\omega)$ be an orthosympectic $\mathbb Z_2$-graded vector space and let $\mathfrak g:=\mathfrak{gosp}(V,\omega)$ denote the Lie superalgebra of similitudes of $(V,\omega)$. When the space $\mathscr P(V)$ of superpolynomials on $V$…

We provide a complete, self-contained proof that reduces second-order generators of the quantum argument-shift algebra in the universal enveloping algebra $U\mathfrak{gl}_d$. We prove the necessary combinatorial identities -- expressed as…

Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, tau a point in the upper half-plane, and h a complex deformation parameter such that the image of h in the elliptic curve E_tau is of infinite order. In this paper, we give an intrinsic definition…

The Yangian characters (or q-characters) are known to be closely related to the classical W-algebras and to the centers of the affine vertex algebras at the critical level. We make this relationship more explicit by producing families of…

In this paper, we consider degenerate Carlitz's type q-Euler polynmials and numbers and we investigate some identities arising from the fermionic p-adic integral equations and the generating function of thoe polynomials.

Let $q$ be a prime power, $G=GL_n(q)$ and let $U\leqslant G$ be the subgroup of (lower) unitriangular matrices in $G$. For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ denote the corresponding unipotent Specht module over the complex field $\C$ for $G$ by…

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

Let $L$ be an affine Kac-Moody algebra, with central element $c$, and let $\lambda \in \mathbb C$. We study two-sided ideals in the central quotient $U_\lambda(L):= U(L)/(c-\lambda)$ of the universal enveloping algebra of $L$, and prove:…

Let G=U(p,q) and K=U(p)xU(q). In arXiv:0801.1530, the authors construct a functor from the category of Harish-Chandra modules for the pair (G,K) to the category of representations of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra of type B_n. In this…

We obtain a presentation by generators and relations for generalized Schur algebras and their quantizations. This extends earlier results obtained in the type A case. The presentation is compatible with Lusztig's modified form of a…

Let H be a Hopf algebra which is a finite module over a central sub-Hopf algebra R. The ramification behaviour of the maximal ideals of Z(H) with respect to the subalgebra R is studied. In the case when H is U(g), the enveloping algebra of…

Immanants are polynomial functions of n by n matrices attached to irreducible characters of the symmetric group S_n, or equivalently to Young diagrams of size n. Immanants include determinants and permanents as extreme cases. Valiant proved…
