By using the elliptic analogue of the Drinfeld currents in the elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_N), we construct a L-operator, which satisfies the RLL-relations characterizing the face type elliptic quantum group B_{q,\lambda}(\hat{sl}_N).…

The two parameters quantum algebra $SU_{p,k}(2)$ can be obtained from a single parameter algebra $SU_q(2)$. This fact gives some relations between $SU_{p,k}(2)$ quantities and the corresponding ones of the $SU_q(2)$ algebra. In this paper…

We define and compute explicitly the classical limit of the realizations of $W_n$ appearing as hamiltonian structures of generalized KdV hierarchies. The classical limit is obtained by taking the commutative limit of the ring of…

Affine W-algebras are a somewhat complicated family of (topological) associative algebras associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, quantizing functions on the algebraic loop space of Kostant's slice. They have attracted a great deal of…

The elliptic algebra A_{q,p}(sl(N)_{c}) at the critical level c=-N has an extended center containing trace-like operators t(z). Families of Poisson structures, defining q-deformations of the W_N algebra, are constructed. The operators t(z)…

Given a quiver with potential $(Q,W)$, Kontsevich-Soibelman constructed a Hall algebra on the cohomology of the stack of representations of $(Q,W)$. As shown by Davison-Meinhardt, this algebra comes with a filtration whose associated graded…

We analyze the W_N^l algebras according to their conjectured realization as the second Hamiltonian structure of the integrable hierarchy resulting from the interchange of x and t in the l^{th} flow of the sl(N) KdV hierarchy. The W_4^3…

We show that quantum Casimir W-algebras truncate at degenerate values of the central charge c to a smaller algebra if the rank is high enough: Choosing a suitable parametrization of the central charge in terms of the rank of the underlying…

Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a self-contained introduction to the necessary mathematical…

We expose the elliptic quantum groups in the Drinfeld realization associated with both the affine Lie algebra \g and the toroidal algebra \g_tor. There the level-0 and level \not=0 representations appear in a unified way so that one can…

We clarify the notion of the DS --- generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov --- reduction approach to classical ${\cal W}$-algebras. We first strengthen an earlier theorem which showed that an $sl(2)$ embedding ${\cal S}\subset {\cal G}$ can be…

In these lectures we report recent work on the exact quantization of dimensionally reduced gravity, i.e. 2d non-linear (G/H)-coset space sigma-models coupled to gravity and a dilaton. Using methods developed in the context of flat space…

We investigate the characters of some finite-dimensional representations of the quantum affine algebras $U_q(\hat{g})$ using the action of the copy of $U_q(g)$ embedded in it. First, we present an efficient algorithm for computing the…

$W$-algebras are certain algebraic structures associated to a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a nilpotent element $f$ via Hamiltonian reduction. In this note we give a review of a recent approach to the study of (classical…

We consider the (finite) $W$-algebra $W_{m|n}$ attached to the principal nilpotent orbit in the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}(\mathbb C)$. Our main result gives an explicit description of $W_{m|n}$ as a certain…

We further define two-parameter quantum affine algebra $U_{r,s}(\widehat{\frak {sl}_n})$ $(n>2)$ after the work on the finite cases (see [BW1], [BGH1], [HS] & [BH]), which turns out to be a Drinfel'd double. Of importance for the quantum…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate supersymmetric even invariant bilinear form, $f$ a nilpotent element in the even part of $\mathfrak{g}$, $\Gamma$ a good grading of $\mathfrak{g}$ for…

The type-I simple Lie-superalgebras are $sl(m|n)$ and $osp(2|2n)$. We study the quantum deformations of their untwisted affine extensions $U_q(sl(m|n)^{(1)})$ and $U_q(osp(2|2n)^{(1)})$. We identify additional relations between the simple…

After a brief survey of the appearance of quantum algebras in diverse contexts of quantum gravity, we demonstrate that the particular deformed algebras, which arise within the approach of J.Nelson and T.Regge to 2+1 anti-de Sitter quantum…

To classify the classical field theories with W-symmetry one has to classify the symplectic leaves of the corresponding W-algebra, which are the intersection of the defining constraint and the coadjoint orbit of the affine Lie algebra if…
