Higher Rank Relations for the Askey–Wilson and $q$-Bannai–Ito Algebra

Abstract: The higher rank Askey–Wilson algebra was recently constructed in the $n$-fold tensor product of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. In this paper we prove a class of identities inside this algebra, which generalize the defining relations of the rank one Askey–Wilson algebra. We extend the known construction algorithm by several equivalent methods, using a novel coaction. These allow to simplify calculations significantly. At the same time, this provides a proof of the corresponding relations for the higher rank $q$-Bannai–Ito algebra.

Keywords: Askey–Wilson algebra, Bannai–Ito algebra.
