Abstract: The universal Askey-Wilson algebra

A W (3)

can be obtained as the commutant of

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k s u (1, 1))

in

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k s u (1, 1))^{o t i m e s 3}

. We analyze the commutant of

m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (2) o p l u s m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (2) o p l u s m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (2)

in

q

-oscillator representations of

m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (6)

and show that it also realizes

A W (3)

. These two pictures of

A W (3)

are shown to be dual in the sense of Howe; this is made clear by highlighting the role of the intermediate Casimir elements of each members of the dual pair

. We also generalize these results. A higher rank extension of the Askey-Wilson algebra denoted

A W (n)

can be defined as the commutant of

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k s u (1, 1))

in

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k s u (1, 1))^{o t i m e s n}

and a dual description of

A W (n)

as the commutant of

m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (2)^{o p l u s n}

in

q

-oscillator representations of

m a t h f r a k o_{q^{1 / 2}} (2 n)

is offered by calling upon the dual pair

.
