The paper mainly considers the center of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1})$ via an analogue of the Harish-Chandra homomorphism. In the case when $n$ is odd, the Harish-Chandra homomorphism is not injective in…

This paper is devoted to studying the centre of the multi-parameter quantum group $U_{q,G}(\mathfrak{g})$ introduced by Okado and Yamane, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a complex simple Lie algebra, and all parameters lie in general position. We…

This paper treats the generalized quantum group $U=U(\chi,\pi)$ with a bi-homomorphism $\chi$ for which the corresponding generalized root system is a finite set. We establish a Harish-Chandra type theorem describing the (skew) center of…

In this paper, we introduce the Harish-Chandra homomorphism for the quantum superalgebra $\mathrm{U}_q(\mathfrak{g})$ associated with a simple basic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and give an explicit description of its image. We use it to…

We construct an explicit Harish-Chandra isomorphism, from the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the algebra D_q(GL_2) of quantum differential operators on GL_2, to the spherical double affine Hecke algebra associated to GL2. The isomorphism…

This paper is the sequel to [HP1] to study the deformed structures and representations of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ associated to the finite dimensional simple Lie algebras $\mg$. An equivalence of the braided…

We introduce a class of automorphisms of compact quantum groups which may be thought of as inner automorphisms and explore the behaviour of normal subgroups of compact quantum groups under these automorphisms. We also define the notion of…

In this article we consider the centre of the reduced enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group in very good characteristic p > 2. The Harish-Chandra centre maps to the centre of each reduced enveloping algebra…

This is the first paper in a series of two which proves a version of a theorem of Harish-Chandra for quantum symmetric spaces in the maximally split case: There is a Harish-Chandra map which induces an isomorphism between the ring of…

In this paper we describe certain homological properties and representations of a two-parameter quantum enveloping algebra $U_{g,h}$ of ${\frak {sl}}(2)$, where $g,h$ are group-like elements.

We give explicit formulas for the elements of the center of the completed quantum affine algebra in type $A$ at the critical level which are associated with the fundamental representations. We calculate the images of these elements under a…

We generalize to the case of singular blocks the result in \cite{BeLa} that describes the center of the principal block of a small quantum group in terms of sheaf cohomology over the Springer resolution. Then using the method developed in…

We introduce some equivalent notions of homomorphisms between quantum groups that behave well with respect to duality of quantum groups. Our equivalent definitions are based on bicharacters, coactions, and universal quantum groups,…

Motivated by topological quantum field theory, we investigate the geometric aspects of unitary 2-representations of finite groups on 2-Hilbert spaces, and their 2-characters. We show how the basic ideas of geometric quantization are…

A simpler definition for a class of two-parameter quantum groups associated to semisimple Lie algebras is given in terms of Euler form. Their positive parts turn out to be 2-cocycle deformations of each other under some conditions. An…

Following Kashiwara's algebraic approach in one-parameter case, we construct crystal bases for two-parameter quantum algebras and for their integrable modules. We also show that the global crystal basis coincides with the canonical basis…
