We introduce a category of $q$-oscillator representations over the quantum affine superalgebras of type $D$ and construct a new family of its irreducible representations. Motivated by the theory of super duality, we show that these…
The quantum supergroup ${\rm{U}}_q({\mathfrak {osp}}(1|2n))$ admits a finite dimensional spinor representation, which does not have a classical limit. We construct a realisation of this representation on the Fock space of $q$-fermions. We…
We describe properties of the nonstandard q-deformation U'_q(so_n) of the universal enveloping algebra U(so_n) of the Lie algebra so_n which does not coincide with the Drinfeld--Jimbo quantum algebra U_q(so_n). In particular, it is shown…
We give a description of the centralizer algebras for tensor powers of spin objects in the pre-modular categories $SO(N)_2$ (for $N$ odd) and $O(N)_2$ (for $N$ even) in terms of quantum $(n-1)$-tori, via non-standard deformations of…
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…
Four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Spin(N) gauge theories with matter in the vector and spinor representations are considered. Dual descriptions are known for some of these theories. It is noted that when masses are given to all fields in…
The representation theory of the quantum group su$_q(2)$ is used to introduce $q$-analogues of the Wigner rotation matrices, spherical functions, and Legendre polynomials. The method amounts to an extension of variable separation from…
Starting from the defining transformations of complex matrices for the SO(4) group, we construct the fundamental representation and the tensor and spinor representations of the group SO(4). Given the commutation relations for the…
The symmetric group S_n possesses a nontrivial central extension, whose irreducible representations, different from the irreducible representations of S_n itself, coincide with the irreducible representations of a certain algebra A_n.…
The structure of the tensor product representation v_{\lambda_1}(x)\otimes V_{\lambda_2}(y) of U_q(\hat sl_2) is investigated at roots of unity. A polynomial identity is derived as an outcome. Also, new bases of v_{\lambda_1}(x)\otimes…
The Gelfand--Zetlin basis for representations of $U_q(sl(N))$ is improved to fit better the case when $q$ is a root of unity. The usual $q$-deformed representations, as well as the nilpotent, periodic (cyclic), semi-periodic (semi-cyclic)…
The representation theory of the group U(1,q) is discussed in detail because of its possible application in a quaternion version of the Salam-Weinberg theory. As a consequence, from purely group theoretical arguments we demonstrate that the…
Spinons are among the generic excitations in one-dimensional spin systems, they can be massless or massive. The quantitative description of massive spinons poses a considerable challenge in spite of various variational approaches. We show…
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…
To a proper inclusion N\subset M of II_1 factors of finite Jones index [M:N], we associate an ergodic C*-action of the quantum group S_\mu U(2). The deformation parameter is determined by -1<\mu<0 and [M:N]=|\mu+\mu^{-1}|. The higher…
This is an extension of quantum spinor construction in \cite{DF2}. We define quantum affine Clifford algebras based on the tensor category and the solutions of q-KZ equations, construct quantum spinor representations of $U_q(\hat{\frak…
The non-standard Schwinger fermionic representation of the unitary group is studied by using $n$-fermion operators. One finds that the Schwinger fermionic representation of the U(n) group is not unique when $n\ge 3$. In general, based on…
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…
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…
Let $\mathbb S$ be a Clifford module for the complexified Clifford algebra $\mathbb{C}\ell(\mathbb R^n)$, $\mathbb S'$ its dual, $\rho$ and $\rho'$ be the corresponding representations of the spin group ${\rm Spin}(n)$. The group $G= {\rm…
