Positive Representations with Zero Casimirs

TL;DR: In this paper , a new family of generalization of the positive representations of split-real quantum groups based on the degeneration of the Casimir operators acting as zero on some Hilbert spaces was constructed.

Zahra Behrang
TL;DR: In this article, the Levi type root system is defined for the case of affine types and the normalizers of parabolic subgroups of finite and affine Weyl groups of classical types are defined.

Distributions Defined by $q$-Supernomials, Fusion Products, and Demazure Modules

TL;DR: This result is a central limit theorem for a serious class of graded tensors and serves as an indication towards universal behavior: the central string functions and the basic specialization of fusion and, in particular, Demazure modules behave asymptotically normal, as the number of fusions scale linearly in an asymPTotic parameter.

Weyl’s Construction of the Irreducible Regular Representations of the Complex Classical Groups

TL;DR: The main objective of as mentioned in this paper is to construct all the regular representations of the complex classical groups by using Weyl's method, which provides an explicit and concrete realization of each of the desired modules.

Straightening Identities in the Onsager Algebra

TL;DR: In this paper, straightening identities in the Onsager algebra have been studied and proved for linear combinations of products which are in a different order, allowing one to rewrite specific products of basis elements as linear combinations.
