We give a new presentation of the Drinfeld double of the elliptic Hall algebra introduced in a previous work with I. Burban. This presentation is similar in spirit to Drinfeld's `new realization' of quantum affine algebras. This answers, in…

As a quantum affinization, the quantum toroidal algebra is defined in terms of its "left" and "right" halves, which both admit shuffle algebra presentations. In the present paper, we take an orthogonal viewpoint, and give shuffle algebra…

We construct a minimal representation of the orthosymplectic Lie supergroup $OSp(p,q|2n)$, generalising the Schr\"odinger model of the minimal representation of $O(p,q)$ to the super case. The underlying Lie algebra representation is…

The general method of Reshetikhin and Turaev is followed to develop topological invariants of closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds from a new class of algebras called pseudo-modular Hopf algebras. Pseudo-modular Hopf algebras are a…

The orthosymplectic supergroup OSp(m|2n) and unitary supergroup U(p|q) are studied following a new approach that starts from Harish-Chandra pairs and links the sheaf-theoretical supermanifold approach of Berezin and others with the…

We realize the Hopf algebra $U_q({\mathfrak {sp}}_{2n})$ as an algebra of quantum differential operators on the quantum symplectic space $\mathcal{X}(f_s;\mathrm{R})$ and prove that $\mathcal{X}(f_s;\mathrm{R})$ is a…

Let $\mathfrak{g}_0$ be a simple Lie algebra of type ADE and let $U'_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be the corresponding untwisted quantum affine algebra. We show that there exists an action of the braid group $B(\mathfrak{g}_0)$ on the quantum…

Associated to each subset $J$ of the nodes $I$ of a Dynkin diagram is a triangular decomposition of the corresponding Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ into three subalgebras $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}_{J}}$ (generated by $e_{j}$, $f_{j}$ for $j\in…

Let $(\mathbf{U}, \mathbf{U}^\imath)$ be a split affine quantum symmetric pair of type $\mathsf{B}_n^{(1)}, \mathsf{C}_n^{(1)}$ or $\mathsf{D}_n^{(1)}$. We prove factorization and coproduct formulae for the Drinfeld-Cartan operators…

In this paper the surjective homomorphism from the Drinfeld realization to the Drinfeld and Jimbo presentation of affine quantum algebras is proved to be injective. A consequence of the arguments used in the paper is the triangular…

We show that every Lie algebra or superLie algebra has a canonical braiding on it, and that in terms of this its enveloping algebra appears as a flat space with braided-commuting coordinate functions. This also gives a new point of view…

We study solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations associated to the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{osp}_{2m+1|2n}$ and $\mathfrak{osp}_{2m|2n}$. Given a solution, we define a reproduction procedure and use it to construct a…

We study connections between the ring of symmetric functions and the characters of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We study two families of representations of the symplectic and orthogonal Lie…

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 present a new construction of analytic analogues of quantum groups over non-Archimedean fields and construct braided monoidal categories of their representations. We do this by constructing analytic Nichols algebras and use…

We develop invariant theory for the quantum group ${\rm U}_q$ of $G_2$ at generic $q$ in the setting of braided symmetric algebras. Let ${\mathcal A}_m$ be the braided symmetric algebra over $m$-copies of the $7$-dimensional simple ${\rm…

We propose a novel, general method to produce orthogonal polynomial dualities from the $^*$--bialgebra structure of Drinfeld--Jimbo quantum groups. The $^*$--structure allows for the construction of certain \textit{unitary} symmetries,…

For a simple Lie algebra L of type A, D, E we show that any Belavin-Drinfeld triple on the Dynkin diagram of L produces a collection of Drinfeld twists for Lusztig's small quantum group u_q(L). These twists give rise to new…

A. Ocneanu has observed that a mysterious orbifold phenomenon occurs in the system of the M_infinity-M_infinity bimodules of the asymptotic inclusion, a subfactor analogue of the quantum double, of the Jones subfactor of type A_2n+1. We…

We describe a nonstandard version of the quantum plane, the one in the basis of divided powers at an even root of unity $q=e^{i\pi/p}$. It can be regarded as an extension of the "nearly commutative" algebra $C[X,Y]$ with $X Y =(-1)^p Y X$…
