We study the tensor product decomposition of the split real quantum group $U_{q\tilde{q}}(sl(2,R))$ from the perspective of finite dimensional representation theory of compact quantum groups. It is known that the class of positive…
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…
We analyse the connections between the Wheeler DeWitt approach for two dimensional quantum gravity and holography, focusing mainly in the case of Liouville theory coupled to $c=1$ matter. Our motivation is to understand whether some form of…
Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra can be realized through a change of generators in the undeformed algebra. q-Deformations of Weyl or Clifford algebrae that were covariant under the action of a simple Lie algebra g are…
We introduce a Dirac operator $D$ for the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, as an element of the tensor product of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ with the Clifford algebra on two generators. We study the properties of $D$, including an analogue…
An extension of the Lorentz group to include generators $\Gamma^\mu$ carrying a space-time index is demonstrated to explicitly construct the Minkowski metric within the internal group space as a consequence of the non-vanishing commutation…

Representation theory for the Jordanian quantum algebra U=U_h(sl(2)) is developed using a nonlinear relation between its generators and those of sl(2). Closed form expressions are given for the action of the generators of U on the basis…
In this paper, we mainly focus on a new type quantum group $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}^{*}_2)$ and its Hopf PBW-deformations $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}^{*}_2,\kappa)$ in which $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}^{*}_2,0) = U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}^{*}_2)$ and the classical…
The connection between braided Hopf algebra structure and the quantum group covariance of deformed oscillators is constructed explicitly. In this context we provide deformations of the Hopf algebra of functions on SU(1,1). Quantum subgroups…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the average value of the operator product expansion coefficients of any unitary, compact two dimensional CFT with $c>1$. This formula is valid when one or more of the operators has large dimension or --…
The quantum group GL_p,q(2) is known to be related to the Jordanian GL_h,h'(2) via a contraction procedure. It can also be realised using the generators of the Hopf algebra G_r,s. We contract the G_r,s quantum group to obtain its Jordanian…
This is the first part of an investigation concerning the formulation of 2D gravity in the framework of the uniformization theory of Riemann surfaces. As a first step in this direction we show that the classical Liouville action appears in…
We study a physically motivated representation of an algebra of operators in gravitational and non gravitational theories called the covariant representation of an algebra. This is a representation where the symmetries of the operator…
Let $A$ and $B$ be two algebraic quantum groups (i.e. multiplier Hopf algebras with integrals). Assume that $B$ is a right $A$-module algebra and that $A$ is a left $B$-comodule coalgebra. If the action and coaction are matched, it is…
We study a generalized version of the Hamiltonian constraint operator in nonperturbative loop quantum gravity. The generalization is based on admitting arbitrary irreducible SU(2) representations in the regularization of the operator, in…
A description of the embedding of the universal Askey--Wilson algebra, AW(3), in $U_q(sl_2)^{\otimes 3}$ is given in terms of the universal R-matrix of $U_q(sl_2)$. The generators of the centralizer of $U_q(sl_2)$ in its three-fold product…
The quantum field algebra of real scalar fields is shown to be an example of infinite dimensional quantum group. The underlying Hopf algebra is the symmetric algebra S(V) and the product is Wick's normal product. Two coquasitriangular…
