A handlebody-knot is a handlebody embedded in the 3-sphere. We establish a uniform method to construct invariants for handlebody-links. We introduce the category $\mathcal{T}$ of handlebody-tangles and present it by generators and…
Nonlinear $sl(2)$ algebras subtending generalized angular momentum theories are studied in terms of undeformed generators and bases. We construct their unitary irreducible representations in such a general context. The linear $sl(2)$-case…
We propose a contraction of the de Sitter quantum group leading to the quantum Poincare group in any dimensions. The method relies on the coaction of the de Sitter quantum group on a non--commutative space, and the deformation parameter $q$…
We consider the algebra isomorphism found by Frenkel and Ding between the RLL and the Drinfeld realizations of $U_q(\widehat{gl(2)})$. After we note that this is not a Hopf algebra isomorphism, we prove that there is a unique Hopf algebra…
We consider three a priori totally different setups for Hopf algebras from number theory, mathematical physics and algebraic topology. These are the Hopf algebra of Goncharov for multiple zeta values, that of Connes-Kreimer for…
We construct explicit Drinfel'd twists for the generalized Cartan type $H$ Lie algebras in characteristic $0$ and obtain the corresponding quantizations and their integral forms. Via making modular reductions including modulo $p$ reduction…
The Moyal and Wick-Voros planes A^{M,V}_{\theta} are *-isomorphic. On each of these planes the Poincar\'e group acts as a Hopf algebra symmetry if its coproducts are deformed by twist factors. We show that the *-isomorphism T: A^M_{\theta}…
Hilbert space representations of cross product *-algebras of the Hopf *-algebras U_q(gl_2) with the coordinate algebras O(C^2_q) and O(R^3_q) of quantum vector spaces and U_q(su_2) with coordinate algebras O(SU_q(2)) and O(S^2_q) of…
In this work, we give some features of the Z$_3$-graded quantum supergroup.
In this paper, we present a Hopf algebra description of a bosonic quantum model, using the elementary combinatorial elements of Bell and Stirling numbers. Our objective in doing this is as follows. Recent studies have revealed that…
Our main goal in this paper is to translate the diagram relating groups, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras to the corresponding 2-objects, i.e. to categorify it. This is done interpreting 2-objects as crossed modules and showing the…
SL_q(2) at odd roots of unity q^l =1 is studied as a quantum cover of the complex rotation group SO(3,C), in terms of the associated Hopf algebras of (quantum) polynomial functions. We work out the irreducible corepresentations, the…
We show that the $\kappa$-deformed Poincar\'e quantum algebra proposed for elementary particle physics has the structure of a Hopf agebra bicrossproduct $U(so(1,3))\cobicross T$. The algebra is a semidirect product of the classical Lorentz…
Quantum duality principle is applied to study classical limits of quantum algebras and groups. For a certain type of Hopf algebras the explicit procedure to construct both classical limits is presented. The canonical forms of quantized…
We complete the classification of quantum subgroups of $SL_q(2)$ with $q$ a root of unity of arbitrary order, that is, Hopf algebra quotients of the quantum function algebras $\mathcal{O}_{q} (SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$.
We present two classes of examples of Hopf algebroids associated with noncommutative principal bundles. The first comes from deforming the principal bundle while leaving unchanged the structure Hopf algebra. The second is related to…
This is an old paper put here for archeological purposes. We derive a general formula expressing the second homology of a Lie algebra of the form L\otimes A with coefficients in the trivial module through homology of $L$, cyclic homology of…
I discuss motivations for introducing Hopf algebra symmetries in noncommutative field theories and briefly describe twisting of main symmetry transformations. New results include an extended list of twisted gauge invariants (which may help…
Let G be a connected, simply connected, simple complex algebraic group and let e be a primitive l-th root of 1, with l odd and 3 does not divide l if G is of type G_{2}. We determine all Hopf algebra quotients of the quantized coordinate…
Lie bialgebra contractions are introduced and classified. A non-degenerate coboundary bialgebra structure is implemented into all pseudo-orthogonal algebras $so(p,q)$ starting from the one corresponding to $so(N+1)$. It allows to introduce…
