We show that the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(A_{1}^{(1)})$ and the quantum affine superalgebra $U_{q}(C(2)^{(2)})$ admit a unified description. The difference between them consists in the phase factor which is equal to 1 for…
We introduce a unital associative algebra ${\mathcal{SV}ir\!}_{q,k}$, having $q$ and $k$ as complex parameters, generated by the elements $K^\pm_m$ ($\pm m\geq 0$), $T_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}$), and $G^\pm_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}+{1\over 2}$ in…
In these lectures we develop the projection operator method for quantum groups. Here the term "quantum groups" means q-deformed universal enveloping algebras of contragredient Lie (super)algebras of finite growth. Contains of the lectures…
We recall the relation between the Lie superalgebra $osp(1/2n)$ and para-Bose operators. The quantum superalgebra $U_q[osp(1/2n)]$, defined as usual in terms of its Chevalley generators, is shown to be isomorphic to an associative algebra…
In this paper, we investigate finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum affine general linear superalgebra $\mathrm{U}_q\big(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n,\mathbf{s}}\big)$ for arbitrary 01-sequences $\mathbf{s}$, using…
A novel generalization of the Askey-Wilson algebra is presented and shown to be associated with coproducts in the quantum algebra $U_q(su(1,1))$. This algebra has 15 non-commuting generators given by $Q^{(A)}$, with $A\subset \{1,2,3,4\}$…
A noncommutative *-algebra that generalizes the canonical commutation relations and that is covariant under the quantum groups SOq(3) or SOq(1,3) is introduced. The generating elements of this algebra are hermitean and can be identified…
We construct a new family of irreducible representations of $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ and its modular double by quantizing the classical parabolic induction corresponding to arbitrary parabolic subgroups, such that the…
The structure of irreducible representations of (restricted) U_q(sl(3)) at roots of unity is understood within the Gelfand--Zetlin basis. The latter needs a weakened definition for non integrable representations, where the quadratic Casimir…
The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…
An algebra homomorphism $\psi$ from the q-deformed algebra $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ with generating elements $I$, $T_1$, $T_2$ and defining relations $[I,T_2]_q=T_1$, $[T_1,I]_q=T_2$, $[T_2,T_1]_q=0$ (where $[A,B]_q=q^{1/2}AB-q^{-1/2}BA$) to the…
The ``local'' structure of a quantum group G_q is currently considered to be an infinite-dimensional object: the corresponding quantum universal enveloping algebra U_q(g), which is a Hopf algebra deformation of the universal enveloping…
Let $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)^{\geq 0}$ denote the Borel subalgebra of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$. We show that the following hold for any choice of scalars $\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1$ from the set ${1,-1}$. (i) Let $V$ be a…
The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group…
The emergence of the quantum $R$-matrix in the double-scaled SYK model points to an underlying quantum group structure. In this work, we identify the quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))$ as a subalgebra of the chord algebra.…
Attention is focused on q-deformed quantum algebras with physical importance, i.e. $U_{q}(su_{2})$, $U_{q}(so_{4})$ and q-deformed Lorentz algebra. The main concern of this article is to assemble important ideas about these symmetry…
The equitable presentation of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ was introduced in 2006 by Ito, Terwilliger, and Weng. This presentation involves some generators $x, y, y^{-1}, z$. It is known that $\{x^r y^s z^t : r, t \in \mathbb{N}, s \in…
Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ denote the quantized affine Lie algebra and $U_q({\cal G}^{(1)})$ the quantized {\em nontwisted} affine Lie algebra. Let ${\cal O}_{\rm fin}$ be the category defined in section 3. We show that when the deformation…

The quantum group analogue of the normalizer of SU(1,1) in SL(2,C) is an important and non-trivial example of a non-compact quantum group. The general theory of locally compact quantum groups in the operator algebra setting implies the…
