Shuffle algebras are important new mathematical structures that offer a new approaches and techniques to solve outstanding open problems in a variety of branches of mathematics, including mathematical physics, algebraic geometry and combinatorics. This project proposes to find solutions to key open problems using connections between shuffle algebras and integrable lattice models. The expected outcomes include (i) a new framework of shuffle algebra techniques to solve challenging research problems in mathematical physics and statistical mechanics, (ii) practical and computationally feasible constructions of shuffle algebras using vertex models, (iii) solutions to unresolved spectral problems of open quantum systems.Read moreRead less
Quantum algebras with supersymmetries. The project aims to make fundamental advances in the theory of quantum algebras. It will develop explicit
structure and representation theory of major classes of quantum algebras which are of great importance to
quantum field theory and integrable models with supersymmetries. The intended outcomes include a solution of

structure and representation theory of major classes of quantum algebras which are of great importance to
quantum field theory and integrable models with supersymmetries. The intended outcomes include a solution of
the outstanding classification problem for representations of quantum algebras with supersymmetries, which has
remained open for the last two decades. It will involve newly-developed methods within the theory of quantum
groups, and both the methods and classification will bring new mathematical instruments for the advance of
supesymmetric conformal field theory and soliton spin chain models.Read moreRead less
