We give a new factorisable ribbon quasi-Hopf algebra U, whose underlying algebra is that of the restricted quantum group for sl(2) at a 2p'th root of unity. The representation category of U is conjecturally ribbon-equivalent to that of the…
Two "quantum enveloping algebras", here denoted by $U(R)$ and $U^{\sim}(R)$, are associated in [FRTa] and [FRTb] to any Yang-Baxter operator R. The latter is only a bialgebra, in general; the former is a Hopf algebra. In this paper, we…
Contractions (and graded contractions) of Lie algebra, Lie bialgebra and Hopf algebra are discussed. It is noticed the fundamental role of E.In{\"o}n{\"u} and E.P.Wigner idea of degenerate transformations. A constructive algorithm for…
We present contraction prescription of the quantum groups: from $SU_q(2)$ to $E_{\kappa}(2)$. Our strategy is different then one chosen in ref. [P. Zaugg, J. Phys. A {\bf 28} (1995) 2589]. We provide explicite prescription for contraction…
We show that a Jordan-H\"older theorem holds for appropriately defined composition series of finite dimensional Hopf algebras. This answers an open question of N. Andruskiewitsch. In the course of our proof we establish analogues of the…
In this article we use a parametrized version of the FRT construction to construct two new coquasitriangular Hopf algebras. The first one, $\widehat{SL_q(2)}$, is a quantization of the coordinate ring on affine $SL(2)$. We show that there…
In \cite{fl}, the authors get a new presentation of two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{v,t}(\mathfrak{g})$. Their presentation can cover all Kac-Moody cases. In this paper, we construct a suitable Hopf pairing such that $U_{v,t}(sl_{n})$ can…
The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…
In this work we apply the Drinfel'd twist of Hopf algebras to the study of deformed quantum theories. We prove that, by carefully considering the role of the central extension, it is indeed possible to construct the universal enveloping…
We study the algebraic structure and representation theory of the Hopf algebras ${}_J\mathcal{O}(G)_J$ when $G$ is an affine algebraic unipotent group over $\mathbb{C}$ with $\mathrm{dim}(G) = n$ and $J$ is a Hopf $2$-cocycle for $G$. The…
The exact sequence of ``coordinate-ring'' Hopf algebras A(SL(2,C)) -> A(SL_q(2)) -> A(F) determined by the Frobenius map Fr, and the same way obtained exact sequence of (quantum) Borel subgroups, are studied when q is a cubic root of unity.…
We define the Hopf algebra structure on the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional polynomial representations of $U_q \hat{gl}_N$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. The resulting Hopf algebra $Rep U_q \hat{gl}_\infty$ is a tensor product of its…
We investigate a two parameter quantum deformation of the universal enveloping orthosymplectic superalgebra U(osp(2/2)) by extending the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan formalism to the supersymetric case. It is shown that $U_{p,q}(osp(2/2))$…
Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and conformal quantum mechanics are deformed through a Jordanian twist. The deformed space coordinates satisfy the Snyder noncommutativity. The resulting deformed Hamiltonians are pseudo-Hermitian…
The aim of this paper is to show that there is a Hopf structure of the parabosonic and parafermionic algebras and this Hopf structure can generate the well known Hopf algebraic structure of the Lie algebras, through a realization of Lie…
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 consider finite-dimensional Hopf algebras $u$ which admit a smooth deformation $U\to u$ by a Noetherian Hopf algebra $U$ of finite global dimension. Examples of such Hopf algebras include small quantum groups over the complex numbers,…
By correctly identifying the role of central extension in the centrally extended Heisenberg algebra h, we show that it is indeed possible to construct a Hopf algebraic structure on the corresponding enveloping algebra U(h) and eventually…
In previous joint work with Eli Aljadeff we attached a generic Hopf Galois extension A(H,c) to each twisted algebra H(c) obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its product with the help of a cocycle c. The algebra A(H,c) is a flat…
The factorization of the universal R-matrix corresponding to so called Drinfeld Hopf structure is described on the example of quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$. As a result of factorization procedure we deduce certain differential…
