The $q$-Onsager algebra $\mathcal O_q$ is defined by two generators $A$, $A^*$ and two relations, called the $q$-Dolan/Grady relations. Recently P. Baseilhac and S. Kolb found an automorphism $L$ of $\mathcal O_q$, that fixes $A$ and sends…
This paper is about three classes of objects: Leonard pairs, Leonard triples, and the finite-dimensional irreducible modules for an algebra $\mathcal{A}$. Let $\K$ denote an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ denote…
Recently B. Hartwig and the second author found a presentation for the three-point $sl_2$ loop algebra via generators and relations. To obtain this presentation they defined an algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations, and displayed…
The notion of defining relations is well-defined for any nilpotent Lie algebra. Therefore a conventional way to present a simple Lie algebra G is by splitting it into the direct sum of a commutative Cartan subalgebra and two maximal…
A new (in)finite dimensional algebra which is a fundamental dynamical symmetry of a large class of (continuum or lattice) quantum integrable models is introduced and studied in details. Finite dimensional representations are constructed and…
The noncommutative (or mixed) trace algebra $T_{nd}$ is generated by $d$ generic $n\times n$ matrices and by the algebra $C_{nd}$ generated by all traces of products of generic matrices, $n,d\geq 2$. It is known that over a field of…
Let K denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ which satisfy the following two properties: (i) There exists a…

In 1998, Georgia Benkart and Tom Roby introduced the down-up algebra $\mathcal A$. The algebra $\mathcal A$ is associative, noncommutative, and infinite-dimensional. It is defined by two generators $A,B$ and two relations called the down-up…
Lie-Yamaguti algebras (or generalized Lie triple systems) are binary-ternary algebras intimately related to reductive homogeneous spaces. The Lie-Yamaguti algebras which are irreducible as modules over their inner derivation algebras are…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote a field, and fix a nonzero $q\in\mathbb F$ such that $q^4\not=1$. The universal Askey-Wilson algebra $\Delta_q$ is the associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The…
We discuss a connection between the algebra $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_2})$ and the tridiagonal pairs of $q$-Racah type. To describe the connection, let $x,y^{\pm 1},z$ denote the equitable generators for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_2})$. Let $U^\vee_q$…
A construction is given of the most general representations of the q-oscillator algebra where both generators are tridiagonal. It is shown to be connected to the Askey-Wilson polynomials.
Let Gamma be a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with vertex set X, diameter D geq 3 and adjacency matrix A. Fix x in X and let A*=A*(x) be the corresponding dual adjacency matrix. Recall that the Terwilliger algebra T=T(x) is the…
Since the introduction of Askey-Wilson algebras by Zhedanov in 1991, the classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible modules of Askey-Wilson algebras remains open. A universal analog $\triangle_q$ of the Askey-Wilson algebras was…

In this paper we define infinite-dimensional algebra and its representation, whose basis is naturally identified with semi-infinite configurations of the square ladder model. We also extrapolate the ideas for the cyclic 3-leg triangular…
