A unitary orthosymplectic quantum supergroup is introduced. Two covariant differential calculi on the quantum superspace $SP_q^{1|2}$ are presented. The $h$-deformed symplectic superspaces via a contraction of the $q$-deformed symplectic…
Using the corepresentation of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2) a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. In particular, a one-parameter family of covariant algebras, which may be…
Quantum geometric maps, which relate SU(2) spin networks and Lorentz covariant projected spin networks, are an important ingredient of spin foam models (and tensorial group field theories) for 4-dimensional quantum gravity. We give a…
The quantum deformation $CP_q(N)$ of complex projective space is discussed. Many of the features present in the case of the quantum sphere can be extended. The differential and integral calculus is studied and $CP_q(N)$ appears as a quantum…
We describe a collection of differential graded rings that categorify weight spaces of the positive half of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|2).
We categorify one half of the small quantum sl(2) at a prime root of unity. An extension of this construction to an arbitrary simply-laced case is proposed.
A counterpart of the modular double for quantum superalgebra $\cU_q(\osp(1|2))$ is constructed by means of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We also construct the $R$-matrix operator acting in the corresponding representations, which is…
A quantized symplectic oscillator algebra of rank 1 is a PBW deformation of the smash product of the quantum plane with U_q(sl_2). We study its representation theory, and in particular, its category O.
We study two classes of quantum spheres and hyperboloids which are $*$-quantum spaces for the quantum orthogonal group $\mathcal{O}(SO_q(3))$. We construct line bundles over the quantum homogeneous space of invariant elements for the…
For the two-parameter matrix quantum group GLp,q(2) all bicovariant differential calculi (with a four-dimensional space of 1-forms) are known. They form a one-parameter family. Here, we give an improved presentation of previous results by…
We define a 2-category that categorifies the covering Kac-Moody algebra for sl(2) introduced by Clark and Wang. This categorification forms the structure of a super-2-category as formulated by Kang, Kashiwara, and Oh. The super-2-category…
Multi-parameter versions U_p(g) and C_p[G] of the standard quantum groups U_q(g) and C_q[G] are considered where G is a semi-simple connected complex algebraic group and g is the Lie algebra of G. The primitive spectrum of C_p[G] is…
We propose a superfield description of osp(1,2) covariant quantization by extending the set of admissibility conditions for the quantum action. We realize a superfield form of the generating equations, specify the vacuum functional and…
We categorify Lusztig's version of the quantized enveloping algebra for sl(2). Using a graphical calculus a 2-category is constructed whose split Grothendieck ring is isomorphic to Lusztig's algebra. The indecomposable morphisms of this…
The expressions for the $\hat{R}$--matrices for the quantum groups SO$_{q^2}$(5) and SO$_q$(6) in terms of the $\hat{R}$--matrices for Sp$_q$(2) and SL$_q$(4) are found, and the local isomorphisms of the corresponding quantum groups are…
Solvability of the ubiquitous quantum harmonic oscillator relies on a spectrum generating osp(1|2) superconformal symmetry. We study the problem of constructing all quantum mechanical models with a hidden osp(1|2) symmetry on a given space…
We construct quasi-solvable quantum mechanical matrix models by employing two different methods, the one is universal enveloping algebra of Lie superalgebra and the other is N-fold supersymmetry. For the former we examine the q(2) and…
Second quantization is revisited and creation and annihilation operators are shown to be related, on the same footing both to the algebra ${\it h}(1)$, ${\underline {and}}$ to the superalgebra ${\it osp}(1|2)$ that are shown to be both…
We study the quantization of systems that contain both ordinary fields with a positive norm and their counterparts obeying different statistics. The systems have novel fermionic symmetries different from the space-time supersymmetry and the…
The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
