Assuming the existence of the L-operators, we study the Hopf algebroid structure of U_{q,p}(B_N^{(1)}). As an application, we derive the type I and II vertex operators, which intertwine the U_{q,p}(B_N^{(1)})-modules of generic level, by…
We develop an approach for constructing the Baxter Q-operators for generic sl(N) spin chains. The key element of our approach is the possibility to represent a solution of the the Yang Baxter equation in the factorized form. We prove that…
The spectrum of integrable models is often encoded in terms of commuting functions of a spectral parameter that satisfy functional relations. We propose to describe this commutative algebra in a covariant way by means of the extended…

We consider intertwining relations of the augmented $q$-Onsager algebra introduced by Ito and Terwilliger, and obtain generic (diagonal) boundary $K$-operators in terms of the Cartan element of $U_{q}(sl_2)$. These $K$-operators solve…
For the last fifteen years quantum superalgebras have been used to model supersymmetric quantum systems. A class of quasi-triangular Hopf superalgebras, they each contain a universal $R$-matrix, which automatically satisfies the…
The Quantum Inverse Scattering Method is a scheme for solving integrable models in $1+1$ dimensions, building on an $R$-matrix that satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation and in terms of which one constructs a commuting family of transfer…
In this paper we extend the umbral calculus, developed to deal with difference equations on uniform lattices, to q-difference equations. We show that many of the properties considered for shift invariant difference operators satisfying the…
We characterise algebras commutative with respect to a Yang-Baxter operator (quasi-commutative algebras) in terms of certain cosimplicial complexes. In some cases this characterisation allows the classification of all possible…
