The factorization of the universal R-matrix corresponding to so called Drinfeld Hopf structure is described on the example of quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$. As a result of factorization procedure we deduce certain differential…
We consider fundamental facts from the theory of Hopf superalgebras. We use them to construct the quantum double of the quantum superalgebra $sl(2|1)$ at roots of unity. Thus we obtain a multiplicative formula for universal $R$-matrix. Next…
We study solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation on a tensor product of an arbitrary finite-dimensional and an arbitrary infinite-dimensional representations of the rank one symmetry algebra. We consider the cases of the Lie algebra sl_2, the…
We give an explicit construction of the factorizing twists for the Yangian Y(sl_2) in evaluation representations (not necessarily finite-dimensional). The result is a universal expression for the factorizing twist that holds in all these…

We present particularly simple new solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation arising from two--dimensional cyclic representations of quantum $SU(2)$. They are readily interpreted as scattering matrices of relativistic objects, and the quantum…
We review known factorization results in quaternion matrices. Specifically, we derive the Jordan canonical form, polar decomposition, singular value decomposition, the QR factorization. We prove there is a Schur factorization for commuting…
We find the R matrix for the inhomogeneous quantum groups whose homogeneous part is $GL_q(n)$, or its restrictions to $SL_q(n)$,$U_q(n)$ and $SU_q(n)$. The quantum Yang-Baxter equation for R holds because of the Hecke relation for the…
Holonomy R-matrices parametrized by finite-dimensional representations are constructed for quantized universal enveloping algebras of simple Lie algebras at roots of 1.
We study the general rational solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with the symmetry algebra sl(3). The R-matrix acting in the tensor product of two arbitrary representations of the symmetry algebra can be represented as the product of the…
We consider the `universal monodrimy operators' for the Baxter Q-operators. They are given as images of the universal R-matrix in oscillator representation. We find related universal factorization formulas in $U_{q}(\hat{sl}(2))$ case.
We construct a quantum deformation of a family of the Yang-Baxter equation solutions naturally arising from a Lie algebra sl(2).
In this paper we study Yangians of sl(n|m) superalgebras. We derive the universal R-matrix and evaluate it on the fundamental representation obtaining the standard Yang R-matrix with unitary dressing factors. For m=0, we directly recover up…

In this article we use a parametrized version of the FRT construction to construct two new coquasitriangular Hopf algebras. The first one, $\widehat{SL_q(2)}$, is a quantization of the coordinate ring on affine $SL(2)$. We show that there…
Quantum invariants like the colored Jones polynomial are algebraic in nature but are conjectured to detect important information about the geometry of links. In this thesis we explore these connections using an enhanced version of the RT…
