Let $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, with its Sklyanin-Drinfel'd structure of Lie bialgebra, and let $\hat{\mathfrak{h}}$ be the dual Lie bialgebra. By dualizing the quantum double construction - via formal…

We discuss some algebraic aspects of quantum permutation groups, working over arbitrary fields. If $K$ is any characteristic zero field, we show that there exists a universal cosemisimple Hopf algebra coacting on the diagonal algebra $K^n$:…

We show that provided $n\ne 3$, the involutive Hopf *-algebra $A_u(n)$ coacting universally on an $n$-dimensional Hilbert space has enough finite-dimensional representations in the sense that every non-zero element acts non-trivially in…

S.L. Woronowicz proved in 1991 that quantum SU(1,1) does not exist as a locally compact quantum group. Results by L.I. Korogodsky in 1994 and more recently by Woronowicz gave strong indications that the normalizer N of SU(1,1) in SL(2,C) is…

Let $U$ be a connected, simply connected compact Lie group with complexification $G$. Let $\mathfrak{u}$ and $\mathfrak{g}$ be the associated Lie algebras. Let $\Gamma$ be the Dynkin diagram of $\mathfrak{g}$ with underlying set $I$, and…

Given a spectral triple of compact type with a real structure in the sense of [Dabrowski L., J. Geom. Phys. 56 (2006), 86-107] (which is a modification of Connes' original definition to accommodate examples coming from quantum group theory)…

To construct a quantum group gauge theory one needs an algebra which is invariant under gauge transformations. The existence of this invariant algebra is closely related with the existence of a differential algebra $\delta _{{\cal H}}…

We investigate a two parameter quantum deformation of the universal enveloping orthosymplectic superalgebra U(osp(2/2)) by extending the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan formalism to the supersymetric case. It is shown that $U_{p,q}(osp(2/2))$…

Affine transformations (dilatations and translations) are used to define a deformation of one-dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Resulting physical systems do not have conserved charges and degeneracies in the spectra.…

It is shown that the Clifford superalgebra Cl(n|m) generated by m pairs of Bose operators (odd elements) anticommuting with n pairs of Fermi operators (even elements) can be deformed to Cl_q(n|m) such that the latter is a homomorphic image…

We study the algebraic structure and representation theory of the Hopf algebras ${}_J\mathcal{O}(G)_J$ when $G$ is an affine algebraic unipotent group over $\mathbb{C}$ with $\mathrm{dim}(G) = n$ and $J$ is a Hopf $2$-cocycle for $G$. The…

This paper establishes several fundamental structural properties of the $q$-Heisenberg algebra $\mathfrak{h}_n(q)$, a quantum deformation of the classical Heisenberg algebra. We first prove that when $q$ is not a root of unity, the global…

The quantized enveloping algebra $U_q$ is constructed as a quotient of the generalized quantum double $ U^{\leq 0}_q \cmdbicross_{\tau} U^{\geq 0}_q $ associated to a natural skew pairing $ \tau : U^{\leq 0}_q \otimes U^{\geq 0}_q \to k $.…

The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group…

It is shown that there exists an isomorphism between q-oscillator systems covariant under $ SU_q(n) $ and $ SU_{q^{-1}}(n) $. By the isomorphism, the defining relations of $ SU_{q^{-1}}(n) $ covariant q-oscillator system are transmuted into…

We realize the Hopf algebra $U_{q^{-1}}(so(N))$ as an algebra of differential operators on the quantum Euclidean space ${\bf R}_q^N$. The generators are suitable q-deformed analogs of the angular momentum components on ordinary ${\bf R}^N$.…

The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…

We show that if $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ is its Lie algebra, then there is a map from the Hopf-cyclic cohomology of the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ to the twisted cyclic cohomology of quantum group…

The Leigh-Strassler family of N=1 marginal deformations of the N=4 SYM theory admits a Hopf algebra symmetry which is a quantum group deformation of the SU(3) part of the R-symmetry of the Ncal=4 theory. We investigate how this quantum…

We prove that for q not a nontrivial root of unity any symmetric invariant 2-cocycle for a completion of Uq(g) is the coboundary of a central element. Equivalently, a Drinfeld twist relating the coproducts on completions of Uq(g) and U(g)…
