The purpose of this Note is to unify quantum groups and star-products under a general umbrella: quantum groupoids. It is shown that a quantum groupoid naturally gives rise to a Lie bialgebroid as a classical limit. The converse question,…

Let $H_{\mathbf{k}}$ be a symplectic reflection algebra corresponding to a cyclic subgroup $\Gamma \subseteq SL_2 \C$ of order $n$ and $U_{\mathbf{k}} = eH_{\mathbf{k}} e$ the spherical subalgebra of $H_{\mathbf{k}}$. We show that for…

We consider normalizers of an irreducible inclusion $N\subseteq M$ of $\mathrm{II}_1$ factors. In the infinite index setting an inclusion $uNu^*\subseteq N$ can be strict, forcing us to also investigate the semigroup of one-sided…

We give a presentation of the centralizer algebras for tensor products of spinor representations of quantum groups via generators and relations. In the even-dimensional case, this can be described in terms of non-standard q-deformations of…

A practical approach is presented which allows the use of a non-invariant regularization scheme for the computation of quantum corrections in perturbative quantum field theory. The theoretical control of algebraic renormalization over…

A description of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[sl(n+1|m)]$ and in particular of the special linear superalgebra $sl(n+1|m)$ via creation and annihilation generators (CAGs) is given. It provides an alternative to the canonical description of…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\g$ its Lie algebra, and $U_h(\g)$ the corresponding quantum group. We consider some examples of $U_h(\g)$-invariant one and two parameter quantizations on $G$-manifolds.

Let D be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of rank r whose affinization has the shape of a star (i.e., D4,E6,E7,E8). To such a diagram one can attach a group G whose generators correspond to the legs of the affinization, have orders equal to…

We introduce a unital associative algebra ${\mathcal{SV}ir\!}_{q,k}$, having $q$ and $k$ as complex parameters, generated by the elements $K^\pm_m$ ($\pm m\geq 0$), $T_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}$), and $G^\pm_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}+{1\over 2}$ in…

We introduce the notion of a lowering-raising (or LR) triple of linear transformations on a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space. We show how to normalize an LR triple, and classify up to isomorphism the normalized LR triples. We…

The universal $R$-matrix for a class of esoteric (non-standard) quantum groups ${\cal U}_q(gl(2N+1))$ is constructed as a twisting of the universal $R$-matrix ${\cal R}_S$ of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum algebras. The main part of the…

We introduce a new class of 2-cocycles defined explicitly on the generators of certain multiparameter standard quantum groups. These allow us, through the process of twisting the familiar standard quantum groups, to generate new as well as…

We construct $2^n$-families of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation from $n$-products of three-dimensional $R$ and $L$ operators satisfying the tetrahedron equation. They are identified with the quantum $R$ matrices for the Hopf algebras…

A noncommutative *-algebra that generalizes the canonical commutation relations and that is covariant under the quantum groups SOq(3) or SOq(1,3) is introduced. The generating elements of this algebra are hermitean and can be identified…

We show that the deformation theory of Fr\'echet algebras for actions of K\"ahlerian Lie groups developed by two of us, leads in a natural way to examples of non-compact locally compact quantum groups. This is achieved by constructing a…

A construction is given of a family of non-standard quantizations of the algebra of functions on a connected complex semi-simple algebraic group. For each ``disjoint'' triple in the sense of Belavin and Drinfeld, a 2-cocycle is constructed…

The stochastic generators of Markov-regular operator cocycles on symmetric Fock space are studied in a variety of cases: positive cocycles, projection cocycles, and partially isometric cocycles. Moreover a class of transformations of…

Let $V(\lambda)$ be the irreducible lowest weight $U_q(D(N,1))$-module with lowest weight $\lambda$. Assume $\lambda = n_0\omega_0-\sum_{i=0}^{N}n_i\omega_i$, where $\omega_0$ is the fundamental weight corresponding to the unique odd coroot…

A semigroup generated by two dimensional $C^{1+\alpha}$ contracting maps is considered. We call a such semigroup regular if the maximum $K$ of the conformal dilatations of generators, the maximum $l$ of the norms of the derivatives of…
