This survey article is concerned with the modeling of the kinematical structure of quantum systems in an algebraic framework which eliminates certain conceptual and computational difficulties of the conventional approaches. Relying on the…

We propose a novel, general method to produce orthogonal polynomial dualities from the $^*$--bialgebra structure of Drinfeld--Jimbo quantum groups. The $^*$--structure allows for the construction of certain \textit{unitary} symmetries,…

We examine classes of quantum algebras emerging from involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and their q-analogues. After providing some universal results on quasi-bialgebras and admissible Drinfeld…

Given an associative algebra $A$, and the category, $\cC$, of its finite dimensional modules, additional structures on the algebra $A$ induce corresponding ones on the category $\cC$. Thus, the structure of a rigid quasi-tensor (braided…

This paper studies properties of q-Jacobi polynomials and their duals by means of operators of the discrete series representations for the quantum algebra U_q(su_{1,1}). Spectrum and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly.…

Pak and Panova recently proved that the $q$-binomial coefficient ${m+n \choose m}_q$ is a strictly unimodal polynomial in $q$ for $m,n \geq 8$, via the representation theory of the symmetric group. We give a direct combinatorial proof of…

Generalizing the notion of a multiplicative unitary (in the sense of Baaj-Skandalis), which plays a fundamental role in the theory of locally compact quantum groups, we develop in this paper the notion of a multiplicative partial isometry.…

We generalize the decomposition of $U_q(\mathfrak g)$ introduced by A. Joseph and relate it, for $\mathfrak g$ semisimple, to the celebrated computation of central elements due to V. Drinfeld. In that case we construct a natural basis in…

Let ${\mathbf U}^-_q$ be the negative half of the quantum group associated to a Kac-Moody algebra ${\mathfrak g}$, and $\underline{\mathbf U}^-_q$ the quantum group obtained by a folding of ${\mathfrak g}$. Let ${\mathbf A} = {\mathbf…

The Verma modules over the quantum groups $\mathrm U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{l + 1})$ for arbitrary values of $l$ are analysed. The explicit expressions for the action of the generators on the elements of the natural basis are obtained. The…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semi-simple Lie algebra with fixed root system, and $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ the quantization of its universal enveloping algebra. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a subset of the simple roots of $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that the…

This paper reveals some new structural property for the $i$-quantum group U^i(n) and constructs a certain hyperalgebra from the new structure which has connections to finite symplectic groups at the modular representation level.

The $q$-binomial coefficients $\qbinom{n}{m}=\prod_{i=1}^m(1-q^{n-m+i})/(1-q^i)$, for integers $0\le m\le n$, are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients. This readily follows from the $q$-binomial theorem, or the…

In this paper we give a geometric construction of the quantum group Ut(G) using Nakajima categories, which were developed in [29]. Our methods allow us to establish a direct connection between the algebraic realization of the quantum group…

In this paper, we develop a construction of Poisson $n$-Lie algebras arising from $n$-Lie algebras of Jacobians and establish conditions under which this construction yields a Poisson $n$-Lie algebra. We also formulate a general conjecture…

The aim of this paper is to study harmonic polynomials on the quantum Euclidean space E^N_q generated by elements x_i, i=1,2,...,N, on which the quantum group SO_q(N) acts. The harmonic polynomials are defined as solutions of the equation…

We give a unified construction of quantum groups, q-Boson algebras and quantized Weyl algebras and an action of quantum groups on quantized Weyl algebras. This enables us to give a conceptual proof of the semi-simplicity of the category…

This note has two purposes. First we establish that the map defined in [L, $\S 40.2.5$ (a)] is an isomorphism for certain admissible sequences. Second we show the map gives rise to a convex basis of Poincar\'e--Birkhoff--Witt (PBW) type for…

We show that the complicated *-structure characterizing for positive q the U_qso(N)-covariant differential calculus on the non-commutative manifold R_q^N boils down to similarity transformations involving the ribbon element of a central…

We prove two results about $\text{SLF}(\bar U_q)$, the algebra of symmetric linear forms on the restricted quantum group $\bar U_q = \bar U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$. First, we express any trace on finite dimensional projective $\bar…
