Some algebraic structures connected with the Yang-Baxter equation. Representations of quantum algebras (Q791939)

Three series of finite-dimensional self-adjoint representations are constructed for the associative algebra with quadratic constraints introduced in the previous article [Funct. Anal. Appl. 16, 263-270 (1983; Zbl 0513.58028)]. The representations of the first series are shown to be deformations of the familiar irreducible representations of su(2). Two other series have no analogues in the theory of Lie algebras. The representations are constructed in terms of the shift and multiplication operators in some spaces of theta-functions. Some degenerate cases are also considered.
