The centralizer construction and Yangian-type algebras
Let d be a positive integer. The Yangian Y_d=Y(gl(d, C)) of the general linear Lie algebra gl(d, C) has countably many generators and quadratic-linear defining relations, which can be packed into a single matrix relation using the Yang matrix — the famous RTT presentation. Alternatively, Y_d can be built from certain centralizer subalgebras of the universal enveloping algebras U(gl(N, C)), with the use of a limit transition as N→∞. This approach is called the centralizer construction.
The paper shows that a generalization of the centralizer construction leads to a new family {Y_{d,L}: L =1, 2, 3, ...} of Yangian-type algebras (the Yangian Ydbeing the first term of this family). For the new algebras, the RTT presentation seems to be missing. Nevertheless, the algebras Y_{d,L} share a number of properties of the Yangian Y_d, including the existence of defining quadratic-linear commutation relations.
