We introduce a new algebra B_l(z,q) depending on two nonzero complex parameters such that B_l(q^n,q) at q=1 coincides with the Brauer algebra B_l(n). We establish an analog of the Brauer-Schur-Weyl duality where the action of the new algebra commutes with the representation of the twisted deformation U'_q(o_n) of the enveloping algebra U(o_n) in the tensor power of the vector representation.
We study a class of algebras B(n,l) associated with integrable models with boundaries. These algebras can be identified with coideal subalgebras in the Yangian for gl(n). We construct an analog of the quantum determinant and show that its coefficients generate the center of B(n,l). We develop an analog of Drinfeld's highest weight theory for these algebras and give a complete description of their finite-dimensional irreducible representations.
The evaluation homomorphisms from the Yangian Y(gl_n) to the universal enveloping algebra U(gl_n) allow one to regard the irreducible finite-dimensional representations of gl_n as Yangian modules. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducibility of tensor products of such evaluation modules.
In our recent papers the centralizer construction was applied to the series of classical Lie algebras to produce the quantum algebras called (twisted) Yangians. Here we extend this construction to the series of the symmetric groups S(n). We study the `stable' properties of the centralizers of S(n-m) in the group algebra C[S(n)] as n increases with m fixed. We construct a limit centralizer algebra A and describe its algebraic structure. The algebra A turns out to be closely related with the degenerate affine Hecke algebras. We also show that the so-called tame representations of the infinite symmetric group yield a class of natural A-modules.
This paper completes a series devoted to explicit constructions of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the classical Lie algebras. Here the case of odd orthogonal Lie algebras (of type B) is considered (two previous papers dealt with C and D types). A weight basis for each representation of the Lie algebra o(2n+1) is constructed. The basis vectors are parametrized by Gelfand--Tsetlin-type patterns. Explicit formulas for the matrix elements of generators of o(2n+1) in this basis are given. The construction is based on the representation theory of the Yangians. A similar approach is applied to the A type case where the well-known formulas due to Gelfand and Tsetlin are reproduced.
A weight basis for each finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the orthogonal Lie algebra o(2n) is constructed. The basis vectors are parametrized by the D-type Gelfand--Tsetlin patterns. Explicit formulas for the matrix elements of generators of o(2n) in this basis are given. The construction is based on the representation theory of the Yangians and extends our previous results for the symplectic Lie algebras.
Olshanski's centralizer construction provides a realization of the Yangian for the Lie algebra gl(n) as a subalgebra in the projective limit of a chain of centralizers in the universal enveloping algebras. We give a modified version of this construction based on a quantum analog of Sylvester's theorem. We then use it to get an algebra homomorphism from the Yangian to the transvector algebra associated with the general linear Lie algebras. The results are applied to identify the elementary representations of the Yangian by constructing their highest vectors explicitly in terms of elements of the transvector algebra.
