Let $UT_2$ be the algebra of $2\times 2$ upper triangular matrices over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. Here we study the generalized polynomial identities of $UT_2$, i.e., identical relations holding for $UT_2$ regarded as…

We work out axioms for the duals $G\subset U_N^+$ of the finite quantum permutation groups, $F\subset S_N^+$ with $|F|<\infty$, and we discuss how the basic theory of such quantum permutation groups partly simplifies in the dual setting. We…

We construct a 3^+ summable spectral triple (A(SU_q(2)),H,D) over the quantum group SU_q(2) which is equivariant with respect to a left and a right action of U_q(su(2)). The geometry is isospectral to the classical case since the spectrum…

Modular double of quantum group U_q (sl(2)) with deformation parameter q=e^{i\pi\tau} is a natural object explicitly taking into account the duality \tau -> 1/\tau. The use of the modular double in CFT allows to consider the region 1<c<25…

In this paper, we study Lie superalgebras of $2\times 2$ matrix-valued first-order differential operators on the complex line. We first completely classify all such superalgebras of finite dimension. Among the finite-dimensional…

We report some observations concerning two well-known approaches to construction of quantum groups. Thus, starting from a bialgebra of inhomogeneous type and imposing quadratic, cubic or quartic commutation relations on a subset of its…

On looking at the literature associated with string theory one finds statements that a sequence of matrix algebras converges to the 2-sphere (or to other spaces). There is often careful bookkeeping with lengths, which suggests that one is…

Coquasitriangular universal ${\cal R}$ matrices on quantum Lorentz and quantum Poincar\'e groups are classified. The results extend (under certain assumptions) to inhomogeneous quantum groups of [10]. Enveloping algebras on those objects…

We construct W-algebra generalizations of the ^sl(2) algebra -- W-algebras W^{(2)}_n generated by two currents E and F with the highest pole of order n in their OPE. The n=3 term in this series is the Bershadsky--Polyakov algebra. We define…

We identify the quantum group ${\Large\textsl{U}}_\textsl{w}(sl_2)$ in the $L$-operator of $\tau^{(2)}$-model for a generic $\textsl{w}$ as a subalgebra of $U_{\sf q} (sl_2)$ with $\textsl{w} = {\sf q}^{-2}$. In the roots of unity case,…

Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental automorphisms of Clifford algebras is established, where an isomorphism…

We investigate the W-algebras generated by the integer dimension chiral primary operators of the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. These have a form almost identical to that found in the c=-2 model but have, in addition, an extended Kac-Moody structure.…

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…

We show that the Ocneanu algebra of quantum symmetries, for an ADE diagram (or for higher Coxeter-Dynkin systems, like the Di Francesco - Zuber system) is, in most cases, deduced from the structure of the modular T matrix in the A series.…

This paper is concerned with general $n\times n$ upper triangular operator matrices with given diagonal entries. We characterize perturbations of the left (right) essential spectrum, the essential spectrum, as well as the left (right) the…

We give a supersymmetric generalization of the sine algebra and the quantum algebra $U_{t}(sl(2))$. Making use of the $q$-pseudo-differential operators graded with a fermionic algebra, we obtain a supersymmetric extension of sine algebra.…

It is shown that all important features of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebraic quantum group $(A,\Delta)$ defined by a modular multiplicative $W$ depend only on the pair $(A,\Delta)$ rather than the multiplicative unitary operator $W$. The proof is…

In the high-energy quantum-physics literature one finds statements such as "matrix algebras converge to the sphere". Earlier I provided a general setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as compact…

Decoupling the chiral dynamics in the canonical approach to the WZNW model requires an extended phase space that includes left and right monodromy variables. Earlier work on the subject, which traced back the quantum qroup symmetry of the…

We construct a one parameter deformation of the group of $2\times 2$ upper triangular matrices with determinant 1 using the twisting construction. An interesting feature of this new example of a locally compact quantum group is that the…
