Generalised matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the quantum SU(2) group are defined using certain orthonormal bases of the representation space. The generalised matrix elements are relatively infinitesimal invariant with respect to Lie algebra like elements of the quantised universal enveloping algebra of sl(2). A full proof of the theorem announced by Noumi and Mimachi [Proc. Japan Acad. Sci. Ser. A66 (1990), 146–149] describing the generalised matrix elements in terms of the…

Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang–Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang–Baxter equation

We study matrix elements of a change of basis between two different bases of representations of the quantum algebra ${\mathcal{U}}_q(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(1,1))$. The two bases, which are
Coupling coefficients for tensor product representations of quantum SU(2)
We study tensor products of infinite dimensional irreducible *-representations (not corepresentations) of the SU(2) quantum group. We obtain (generalized) eigenvectors of certain self-adjoint

Using the Laplace expansions it is proved that the dynamical quantum determinant is almost central, and adjoining an inverse the antipode can be defined, which results in the dynamICAL GL(n) quantum group associated to the dynamicals R-matrix.
