Explicit expressions are found for the $6j$ symbols in symmetric representations of quantum $\mathfrak{su}_N$ through appropriate hypergeometric Askey-Wilson (q-Racah) polynomials. This generalizes the well-known classical formulas for…

Modular double of quantum group SL_q(2,R) with |q|=1 has a series of selfadjoint irreducible representations parameterized by s. Ponsot and Teschner considered a decomposition of the tensor product of two representations into irreducibles.…

A classical 6j-symbol is a real number which can be associated to a labelling of the six edges of a tetrahedron by irreducible representations of SU(2). This abstract association is traditionally used simply to express the symmetry of the…

This paper treats 6j symbols or their orthonormal forms as a function of two variables spanning a square manifold which we call the "screen". We show that this approach gives important and interesting insight. This two dimensional…

We consider the universal solution of the Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation in the ${\cal U}_q(sl_2)$ case. We show that it has a quasi-Hopf algebra interpretation. We also recall its relation to quantum 3-j and 6-j symbols. Finally, we use…

A closed form expression for multiplicity-free quantum 6-j symbols (MFS) was proposed in arXiv:1302.5143 for symmetric representations of $U_q(sl_N)$, which are the simplest class of multiplicity-free representations. In this paper we…

We construct quantum invariants of 3-manifolds based on a $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ matrix dilogarithm proposed by Kashaev. This matrix dilogarithm is an $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ analogue of the (cyclic) quantum dilogarithm used to define Kashaev's…

With the aid of the $6j$-symbol, we classify all uniserial modules of $\mathfrak{sl}(2)\ltimes \mathfrak{h}_{n}$, where $\mathfrak{h}_{n}$ is the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension $2n+1$.

The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients or Wigner $3j$ symbols are known to be proportional to a $_3F_2(1)$ hypergeometric series, and Racah $6j$ coefficients to a $_4F_3(1)$. In general, however, non-trivial $9j$ symbols can not be expressed as a…

We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of $U_q(sl_2)$ $6j$-symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly…

A two-parametric generalization of the Jordanian deformation $U_h (sl(2))$ of $sl(2)$ is presented. This involves Jacobian elliptic functions. In our deformation $U_{(h,k)}(sl(2))$, for $k^2=1$ one gets back $U_h(sl(2))$. The constuction is…

All Lie algebras and representations will be assumed to be finite dimensional over the complex numbers. Let $V(m)$ be the irreducible $\sl(2)$-module with highest weight $m\geq 1$ and consider the perfect Lie algebra $\g=\sl(2)\ltimes…

A new formula connecting the elliptic $6j$-symbols and the fusion of the vertex-face intertwining vectors is given. This is based on the identification of the $k$ fusion intertwining vectors with the change of base matrix elements from…

We define a natural concept of duality for the h-Hopf algebroids introduced by Etingof and Varchenko. We prove that the special case of the trigonometric SL(2) dynamical quantum group is self-dual, and may therefore be viewed as a…

Any choice of a spherical fusion category defines an invariant of oriented closed 3-manifolds, which is computed by choosing a triangulation of the manifold and considering a state sum model that assigns a 6j symbol to every tetrahedron in…

The coupling coefficients (3j-symbols) for the symmetric (most degenerate) irreducible representations of the orthogonal groups SO(n) in a canonical basis and different semicanonical (tree) bases [with SO(n) restricted to SO(n')\times…

In this note, we propose a decomposition of the quantum matrix group SL$_q^+(2,\mathbb{R})$ as (deformed) exponentiation of the quantum algebra generators of Faddeev's modular double of $\text{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2, \mathbb{R}))$. The…

It is known that the Fourier transformation of the square of (6j) symbols has a simple expression in the case of su(2) and U_q(su(2)) when q is a root of unit. The aim of the present work is to unravel the algebraic structure behind these…

For q a root of unity of order 2r, we give explicit formulas of a family of 3-variable Laurent polynomials J_{i,j,k} with coefficients in Z[q] that encode the 6j-symbols associated with nilpotent representations of U_qsl_2. For a given…

The cyclic quantum dilogarithm is interpreted as a cyclic 6j-symbol of the Weyl algebra, considered as a Borel subalgebra $BU_q(sl(2))$. Using modified 6j-symbols, an invariant of triangulated links in triangulated 3-manifolds is…
