Abstract:
The generalized Cremmer–Gervais $R$-matrix, which is a twist of the standard $sl_q(3)$$R$-matrix, depends on two additional parameters. We discuss the properties of this $R$-matrix and construct two associated dynamic systems: the $q$-oscillator that is covariant with respect to the corresponding quantum group and an integrable spin chain with a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.
