We continue the study of the quantization of supersymmetric integrable KdV hierarchies. We consider the N=2 KdV model based on the $sl^{(1)}(2|1)$ affine algebra but with a new algebraic construction for the L-operator, different from the…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra and $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ the corresponding quantum affine algebra. We prove that every irreducible finite-dimensional $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$-module gives rise to a family of…

In this paper, we explore a canonical connection between the algebra of $q$-difference operators $\widetilde{V}_{q}$, affine Lie algebra and affine vertex algebras associated to certain subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of the Lie algebra…

We give a realization of the level zero fundamental weight representation $W(\varpi_k)$ of the quantum affine algebra $U_q'(\mf{g})$, when $\mf{g}$ has a maximal parabolic subalgebra of type $C_n$. We define a semisimple $U'_q({\mf…

We consider the algebra $\square_q$ which is a mild generalization of the quantum algebra $U_q(\frak{sl}_2)$. The algebra $\square_q$ is defined by generators and relations. The generators are $\{x_i\}_{i\in \mathbb{Z}_4}$, where…

We define a notion of pseudo-unitarizability for weight modules over a generalized Weyl algebra (of rank one, with commutative coeffiecient ring $R$), which is assumed to carry an involution of the form $X^*=Y$, $R^*\subseteq R$. We prove…

The path space of an inhomogeneous vertex model constructed from the vector representation of $U_q\bigl(gl(2|2)\bigr)$ and its dual is studied for various choices of composite vertices and assignments of $gl(2|2)$-weights. At $q=0$, the…

An alternative to the Chevalley description of Lie algebra sl(n+1), of its universal enveloping algebra U[sl(n+1)] and of its q-deformed analogue U_q[sl(n+1)] in terms of generators, called creation and annihilation generators (CAGs), and…

Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ be a quantized affine Lie algebra. It is proven that the universal R-matrix $R$ of $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ satisfies the celebrated conjugation relation $R^\dagger=TR$ with $T$ the usual twist map. As applications, braid…

We provide an alternative approach to the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan presentation of the quantum group U_q(g), with L-operators as generators and relations ruled by an R-matrix. We look at U_q(g) as being generated by the quantum Borel…

We consider principal subspace W({\Lambda}) of integrable highest weight module L({\Lambda}) for quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{n+1})$. We introduce quantum analogues of the quasi-particles associated with the principal…

It has been shown in earlier works that for Q=0 and L a multiple of N, the ground state sector eigenspace of the superintegrable tau_2(t_q) model is highly degenerate and is generated by a quantum loop algebra L(sl_2). Furthermore, this…

In this paper, we introduce an algebra $\mathcal{H}$ from a subspace lattice with respect to a fixed flag which contains its incidence algebra as a proper subalgebra. We then establish a relation between the algebra $\mathcal{H}$ and the…

The level-$1$ integrable highest weight modules of $U_q(\widehat{sl}_2)$ admit a level-$0$ action of the same algebra. This action is defined using the affine Hecke algebra and the basis of the level-$1$ module generated by components of…

Let $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, with its Sklyanin-Drinfel'd structure of Lie bialgebra, and let $\hat{\mathfrak{h}}$ be the dual Lie bialgebra. By dualizing the quantum double construction - via formal…

Let $V=\C^N$ with $N$ odd. We construct a $q$-deformation of $\End_{Sp(N-1)}(V^{\otimes n})$ which contains $\End_{U_q\sl_N}(V^{\otimes n})$. It is a quotient of an abstract two-variable algebra which is defined by adding one more generator…

Characters of rational vertex operator algebras (RVOAs) arising in 2-dimensional conformal field theories often belong (after suitable normalization) to the (multiplicative) semigroup E^+ of modular units whose Fourier expansions are in 1+q…
