A *-product compatible with the comultiplication of the Hopf algebra of the functions on the Heisenberg group is determined by deforming a coboundary Lie-Poisson structure defined by a classical r-matrix satisfying the modified Yang-Baxter…
We introduce uniparametric and multiparametric quantisations of the general linear supergroup, in the form of "quantised function algebras", both in a formal setting - yielding "quantum formal series Hopf superalgebras", a` la Drinfeld -…
We construct a certain cross product of two copies of the braided dual $\tilde H$ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$, which we call the elliptic double $E_H$, and which we use to construct representations of the punctured elliptic braid…
Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group G by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a twisted double method) a quasitriangular Hopf G-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular…
In this paper, we give an RTT presentation of the twisted quantum affine algebra of type $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$ and show that it is isomorphic to the Drinfeld new realization via the Gauss decomposition of the L-operators. This provides the first…
We recall the abstract theory of Hopf algebra bicrossproducts and double cross products due to the author. We use it to develop some less-well known results about the quantum double as a twisting, as an extension and as $q$-Lorentz group.
The general method of Reshetikhin and Turaev is followed to develop topological invariants of closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds from a new class of algebras called pseudo-modular Hopf algebras. Pseudo-modular Hopf algebras are a…
New trigonometric and rational solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (QYBE) are obtained by applying some singular gauge transformations to the known Belavin-Drinfeld elliptic R-matrix for $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$. These solutions are…
We generalise the quantum double construction of Drinfel'd to the case of the (Hopf) algebra of suitable functions on a compact or locally compact group. We will concentrate on the *-algebra structure of the quantum double. If the conjugacy…
We review the construction of the multiparametric quantum group $ISO_{q,r}(N)$ as a projection from $SO_{q,r}(N+2) $ and show that it is a bicovariant bimodule over $SO_{q,r}(N)$. The universal enveloping algebra $U_{q,r}(iso(N))$,…
The universal R-matrices and, dually, the coquasitriangular structures of the group Hopf algebra of a finite Abelian group (resp. of an arbitrary Abelian group) are determined. This is used to formulate graded multilinear algebra in terms…
Recently, a class of transformations of $R_q$-matrices was introduced such that the $q \to 1$ limit gives explicit nonstandard $R_h$-matrices. The transformation matrix is singular as $q \to 1$. For the transformed matrix, the…
The universal $R$-matrix of the quantum affine superalgebra associated to the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(1,1)$ is realized as the Casimir element of certain Hopf pairing, based on the explicit coproduct formula of all the Drinfeld loop…
A bicovariant calculus of differential operators on a quantum group is constructed in a natural way, using invariant maps from \fun\ to \uqg\ , given by elements of the pure braid group. These operators --- the `reflection matrix' $Y \equiv…
This paper together with the previous one (arXiv:hep-th/0604146) presents the detailed description of all quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra as Hopf algebra in terms of complex and real generators. We describe here in detail two…
We construct a large family of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras related to small quantum groups, with a factorizable R-matrix. Our main purpose is to obtain non-semisimple modular tensor categories for quantum groups at even roots of unity, where…
In this talk I discuss a recently developed "Unfolded Quantization Framework". It allows to introduce a Hamiltonian Second Quantization based on a Hopf algebra endowed with a coproduct satisfying, for the Hamiltonian, the physical…
Let $\hat{\frak g}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. The quantum group $U_h(\hat{\frak g})$ (over $\mathbb{C}[[h]]$) is known to be a quasitriangular Hopf algebra: in particular, it has a universal $ R $--matrix, which yields an $…
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…
A simple connection between the universal $R$ matrix of $U_q(sl(2))$ (for spins $\demi$ and $J$) and the required form of the co-product action of the Hilbert space generators of the quantum group symmetry is put forward. This gives an…
