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…

Let (A,B) and (C,D) denote Leonard pairs on V. We say these pairs are adjacent whenever each basis for V which is standard for (A,B) (resp. (C,D)) is split for (C,D) (resp. (A,B)). Our main results are as follows: Theorem 1. There exists at…

A simple ansatz is proposed for two-color R-matrix satisfying the tetrahedron equation. It generalizes, on one hand, a particular case of the eight-vertex model to three dimensions, and on another hand - Hietarinta's permutation-type…
