When the parameter of deformation q is a m-th root of unity, the centre of U_q(sl(N))$ contains, besides the usual q-deformed Casimirs, a set of new generators, which are basically the m-th powers of all the Cartan generators of U_q(sl(N)).…

A pathway from one vertex of a quiver to another is a reduced path. We modify the classical definition of quiver representations and we prove that semi-invariant polynomials for filtered quiver representations come from diagonal entries if…

We construct a representation of $U_q(\widehat{sl}_2)$ at level $-1/2$ by using the bosonic Fock spaces. The irreducible modules are obtained as the kernel of a certain operator, in contrast to the construction by Feingold and Frenkel for…

We show that there exist infinitely many pairs of non-homeomorphic closed oriented SOL torus bundles with the same quantum (TQFT) invariants. This follows from the arithmetic behind the conjugacy problem in $SL(2,\Z)$ and its congruence…

Quantum groups in general and the quantum Anti-de Sitter group $U_q(so(2,3))$ in particular are studied from the point of view of quantum field theory. We show that if $q$ is a suitable root of unity, there exist finite-dimensional, unitary…

We consider a category whose morphisms are bordisms of $n$-dimensional pseudomanifolds equipped with a certain additional structure (coloring). On the other hand, we consider the product $G$ of $(n+1)$ copies of infinite symmetric group. We…

We show that a new unitary transform with characteristics almost similar to those of the finite Fourier transform can be defined in any finite-dimensional Hilbert space. It is defined by using the Kravchuk polynomials, and we call it…

We construct representations $\hat\pi_{\br}$ of the quantum algebra $U_q(sl(n))$ labelled by $n-1$ complex numbers $r_i$ and acting in the space of formal power series of $n(n-1)/2$ non-commuting variables. These variables generate a flag…

On the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^N$ equipped with a normalized root system $R$, a multiplicity function $k\geq 0$, and the associated measure $dw(\mathbf x)=\prod_{\alpha\in R} |\langle \mathbf x,\alpha\rangle|^{k(\alpha)}d\mathbf x$ we…

Infinite dimensional representations of the real form U_q(u_{n,1}) of the Drinfeld--Jimbo algebra U_q(gl_{n+1}) are defined. The principal series of representations of U_q(u_{n,1}) is studied. Intertwining operators for pairs of the…

We construct the positive principal series representations for $U_q(g_R)$ where $g$ is of type $B_n$, $C_n$, $F_4$ or $G_2$, parametrized by $R^r$ where $r$ is the rank of $g$. We show that under the representations, the generators of the…

The SU(2) TQFT representation of the mapping class group of a closed surface of genus g, at a root of unity of prime order, is shown to be irreducible. Some examples of reducible representations are also given.

We present a general derivation of semi-fermionic representation for generators of SU(N) group as a bilinear combination of Fermi operators. The constraints are fulfilled by means of imaginary Lagrange multipliers. The important case of…

A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group $G$ is called semibounded if the corresponding operators $i\dd\pi(x)$ from the derived representation are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of…

It is shown that the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra $ M_q(n) $ ( the coordinate ring of $ GL_q(n) $ ) exist only when q is a root of unity ( $ q^p = 1 $ ). The dimensions of these…

Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ be an infinite-dimensional quantum affine Lie algebra. A family of central elements or Casimir invariants are constructed and their eigenvalues computed in any integrable irreducible highest weight representation.…

Quantum spaces with $\frak{su}(2)$ noncommutativity can be modelled by using a family of $SO(3)$-equivariant differential $^*$-representations. The quantization maps are determined from the combination of the Wigner theorem for $SU(2)$ with…

The positive-energy unitary irreducible representations of the $q$-deformed conformal algebra ${\cal C}_q = {\cal U}_q(su(2,2))$ are obtained by appropriate deformation of the classical ones. When the deformation parameter $q$ is $N$-th…

We derive orthogonality relations for discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals by means of operators of representations of the quantum algebra su_q(1,1). Spectra and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly. These…
