In this paper, we establish the connection between the quantized W-algebra of ${\frak sl}(2,1)$ and quantum parafermions of $U_q(\hat {\frak sl}(2))$ that a shifted product of the two quantum parafermions of $U_q(\hat {\frak sl}(2))$…

We obtain a presentation of Schur algebras (and q-Schur algebras) by generators and relations which is compatible with the usual presentation of the enveloping algebra (quantized enveloping algebra) corresponding to the Lie algebra gl(n) of…

Around 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3). Recently we introduced a central extension $\Delta$ of AW(3) called the universal Askey-Wilson algebra. In this paper we discuss a connection between $\Delta$ and the…

In this study, we focus on the positive part $U_q^{+}$ of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(C(2)^{(2)})$. This algebra admits a presentation with two two generators $e_{\alpha}$ and $e_{\delta-\alpha}$, which satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre…

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…

We obtain a presentation of certain affine q-Schur algebras in terms of generators and relations. The presentation is obtained by adding more relations to the usual presentation of the quantized enveloping algebra of type affine gl_n. Our…

The quantum group SL_q(2,R) at roots of unity is introduced by means of duality pairings with the quantum algebra U_q(sl(2,R)). Its irreducible representations are constructed through the universal T-matrix. An invariant integral on this…

This paper concerns the positive part $U^+_q$ of the quantum group $U_q({\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}}_2)$. The algebra $U^+_q$ has a presentation involving two generators that satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre relations. We recently introduced an…

The $q$-Onsager algebra, denoted by $O_q$, is defined by generators $W_0, W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Dolan-Grady relations. In 2017, Baseilhac and Kolb gave some elements of $O_q$ that form a Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt basis. The…

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 define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

In this note we prove an integral identity involving complex powers of generators of quantum group $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}(3))$ considered as certain positive operators in the setting of positive principal series representations. This identity…

A presentation of the centralizer of the three-fold tensor product of the spin $s$ representation of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is provided. It is expressed as a quotient of the Askey-Wilson braid algebra. This newly defined…

We show that the quantum affine algebra U_{q}(A_{1}^{(1)}) and the quantum affine superalgebra U_{q}(C(2)^{(2)}) admit unified description. The difference between them consists in the phase factor which is equal to 1 for U_{q}(A_{1}^{(1)})…

The generators of the Jordanian quantum algebra ${\cal U}_h(sl(2))$ are expressed as nonlinear invertible functions of the classical $sl(2)$ generators. This permits immediate explicit construction of the finite dimensional irreducible…

The concept of a quantum algebra is made easy through the investigation of the prototype algebras $u_{qp}(2)$, $su_q(2)$ and $u_{qp}(1,1)$. The latter quantum algebras are introduced as deformations of the corresponding Lie algebras~; this…

We give presentations, in terms of the generators and relations, for the reflection equation algebras of type $GL_n$ and $SL_n$, i.e., the covariantized algebras of the dual Hopf algebras of the small quantum groups of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ and…

The equitable presentation of the quantum algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl_2})$ is considered. This presentation was originally introduced by T. Ito and P. Terwilliger. In this paper, following Terwilliger's recent works the (nonstandard) positive…

We develop a method to give presentations of quantized function algebras of complex reductive groups. In particular, we give presentations of quantized function algebras of automorphism groups of finite dimensional simple complex Lie…

Suppose q is a complex number of modulus one and different from 1,-1. Let O(R^2_q) be the *-algebra with two hermitean generators x and y satisfying the relation xy=qyx. Using operator representations of the *-algebra O(R^2_q) on Hilbert…
