The skein category of the annulus

We construct the skein category $\mathcal{S}$ of the annulus and show that it is equivalent to the affine Temperley-Lieb category of Graham and Lehrer. It leads to a skein theoretic description of the extended affine Temperley-Lieb algebras. We construct an endofunctor of $\mathcal{S}$ that corresponds, on the level of tangle diagrams, to the insertion of an arc connecting the inner and outer boundary of the annulus. We use it to define and construct towers of extended affine Temperley-Lieb algebra modules. It allows us to construct a tower of modules acting on spaces of link patterns on the punctured disc which play an important role in the study of loop models. In case of trivial Dehn twist we show that the direct sum of the representation spaces of the link pattern tower defines a graded algebra that may be regarded as a relative version of the Roger-Yang skein algebra of arcs and links on the punctured disc. We also describe the link pattern tower in terms of fused extended affine Temperley-Lieb algebra modules.

On connection matrices of quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations based on Lie super algebras

We propose a new method to compute connection matrices of quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations associated to integrable vertex models with super algebra and Hecke algebra symmetries. The scheme relies on decomposing the underlying spin representation of the affine Hecke algebra in principal series modules and invoking the known solution of the connection problem for quantum affine Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations associated to principal series modules. We apply the method to the spin representation underlying the $\mathcal{U}_q\bigl(\hat{\mathfrak{gl}}(2|1)\bigr)$ Perk-Schultz model. We show that the corresponding connection matrices are described by an elliptic solution of a supersymmetric version of the dynamical quantum Yang-Baxter equation with spectral parameter.

Trigonometric Cherednik algebra at critical level and quantum many-body problems

For any module over the affine Weyl group we construct a representation of the associated trigonometric Cherednik algebra $A(k)$ at critical level in terms of Dunkl type operators. Under this representation the center of $A(k)$ produces quantum conserved integrals for root system generalizations of quantum spin-particle systems on the circle with delta function interactions. This enables us to translate the spectral problem of such a quantum spin-particle system to questions in the representation theory of $A(k)$. We use this approach to derive the associated Bethe ansatz equations. They are expressed in terms of the normalized intertwiners of $A(k)$.

Koornwinder polynomials and affine Hecke algebras

In this paper we derive the bi-orthogonality relations, diagonal term evaluations and evaluation formulas for the non-symmetric Koornwinder polynomials. For the derivation we use certain representations of the (double) affine Hecke algebra which were originally defined by Noumi and Sahi. The structure of the diagonal terms is clarified by expressing them as residues of the bi-orthogonality weight function. We furthermore give the explicit connection between the non-symmetric and the (anti-)symmetric theory.
