Quantum algebras and integrable boundaries in AdS/CFT

This thesis studies quantum integrable structures such as Yangians and quantum affine algebras that arise in and are inspired by the AdS/CFT duality, with a primary emphasis on the exploration of integrable boundaries deeply hidden in the duality. The main goal of this thesis is to find novel algebr...
