Deformed $\W$--algebra $\W_{q,t}(\g)$ associated to an arbitrary simple Lie algebra $\g$ is defined together with its free field realizations and the screening operators. Explicit formulas are given for generators of $\W_{q,t}(\g)$ when…

We discuss some aspects of the representation theory of the deformed Virasoro algebra $\virpq$. In particular, we give a proof of the formula for the Kac determinant and then determine the center of $\virpq$ for $q$ a primitive N-th root of…

q-Deformed harmonic oscillator algebra for real and root of unity values of the deformation parameter is discussed by using an extension of the number concept proposed by Gauss, namely the Q-numbers. A study of the reducibility of the Fock…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple Lie algebra. Frenkel and Reshetikhin introduced the deformed $W$-algebra $\mathbf{W}_{qt}(\mathfrak{g})$. In this work, we propose a formal reformulation of this definition in a different context. In this…

Associated to the classical Weyl groups, we introduce the notion of degenerate spin affine Hecke algebras and affine Hecke-Clifford algebras. For these algebras, we establish the PBW properties, formulate the intertwiners, and describe the…

We revisit the free field construction of the deformed $W$-algebra by Frenkel and Reshetikhin [Comm. Math. Phys. 197 (1998), 1-32], where the basic $W$-current has been identified. Herein, we establish a free field construction of higher…

The deformed $\mathcal W$ algebras of type $\textsf{A}$ have a uniform description in terms of the quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra $\mathcal E$. We introduce a comodule algebra $\mathcal K$ over $\mathcal E$ which gives a uniform…

The deformed $W$-algebra is a quantum deformation of the $W$-algebra ${\cal W}_\beta(\mathfrak{g})$ in conformal field theory. Using the free field construction, we obtain a closed set of quadratic relations of the $W$-currents of the…

Frenkel and Reshetikhin introduced q-characters to study finite dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. In the simply laced case Nakajima defined deformations of q-characters called q,t-characters. The definition is…

For every element w in the Weyl group of a simple Lie algebra g, De Concini, Kac, and Procesi defined a subalgebra U_q^w of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g). The algebra U_q^w is a deformation of the universal enveloping…

We study certain representations of quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra for $q=t$. We construct explicit bosonization of the Fock modules $\mathcal{F}_u^{(n',n)}$ with a nontrivial slope $n'/n$. As a vector space, it is naturally…

This paper deals with quon algebras or deformed oscillator algebras, for which the deformation parameter is a root of unity. We show the interest of such algebras for fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics, angular momentum theory and…

We consider the $k$-twisted Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit (NS$_k$ limit) of 5d (K-theoretic) and 6d (elliptic) quiver gauge theory, where one of the multiplicative equivariant parameters is taken to be the $k$-th root of unity. We obtain the…

An explicit realization of the W(2,2) Lie algebra is presented using the famous bosonic and fermionic oscillators in physics, which is then used to construct the q-deformation of this Lie algebra. Furthermore, the quantum group structures…

We study the restricted form of the qaunatized enveloping algebra of an untwisted affine Lie algebra and prove a triangular decomposition for it. In proving the decomposition we prove several new identities in the quantized algebra, one of…

Some introductory concepts and basic definitions of the Lie superalgebras and their quantum deformations are exposed. Especially the induced representation methods in both cases are described. Based on the Kac representation theory we have…

In this paper, we study the fractional decomposition of the quantum enveloping affine algebras $U_Q(\hat A(n))$ and $U_Q(\hat{C}(n))$ with vanishing central charge in the limit $Q\to q=e^{\frac{2i\pi}k}$ . This decomposition is based on the…

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…

We give an explicit expression for the central elements of affine Hecke algebras of type A in the Coxeter presentation, in terms of (parabolic) affine Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. Our approach is based on a version of quantum affine…

In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…
