We show that the action of universal $R$-matrix of affine $U_qsl_2$ quantum algebra, when $q$ is a root of unity, can be renormalized by some scalar factor to give a well defined nonsingular expression, satisfying Yang-Baxter equation. It…

We study relations between the two-parameter $\U_q(sl(n))$-invariant deformation quantization on $sl^*(n)$ and the reflection equation algebra. The latter is described by a quantum permutation on $\End(\C^n)$ given explicitly. The…

We define a semi-Hopf algebra which is more general than a Hopf algebra. Then we construct the supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on this semi-Hopf algebra. As a result we have a supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group,…

A systematic computational approach for the explicit construction of any quantum Hopf algebra (U_z(g),\Delta_z) starting from the Lie bialgebra (g,\delta) that gives the first-order deformation of the coproduct map \Delta_z is presented.…

By using twist construction, we obtain a quantum groupoid $\cald\ot_{q}\uqg$ for any simple Lie algebra $\frakg$. The underlying Hopf algebroid structure encodes all the information of the corresponding elliptic quantum group-the quasi-Hopf…

In this paper, we propose a simple generalization of the locally r-symmetric Jordanian twist, resulting in the one-parameter family of Jordanian twists. All the proposed twists differ by the coboundary twists and produce the same Jordanian…

We describe the quasitriangular structure (universal $R$-matrix) on the non-standard quantum group $U_q(H_1,H_2,X^\pm)$ associated to the Alexander-Conway matrix solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. We show that this Hopf algebra is…

We replace the group of group-like elements of the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q({\frak{g}})$ of a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$ by some regular monoid and get the weak Hopf algebra ${\frak{w}}_q^{\sf d}({\frak…

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…

Let $(H, \sigma)$ be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra, not necessarily finite dimensional. Following methods of Doi and Takeuchi, which parallel the constructions of Radford in the case of finite dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebras,…

We realize the Hopf algebra $U_{q^{-1}}(so(N))$ as an algebra of differential operators on the quantum Euclidean space ${\bf R}_q^N$. The generators are suitable q-deformed analogs of the angular momentum components on ordinary ${\bf R}^N$.…

Recently, it has been shown how to perform the quantum hamiltonian reduction in the case of general $sl(2)$ embeddings into Lie (super)algebras, and in the case of general $osp(1|2)$ embeddings into Lie superalgebras. In another development…

To any cleft Hopf Galois object, i.e., any algebra H[t] obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its multiplication with a two-cocycle t, we attach two "universal algebras" A(H,t) and U(H,t). The algebra A(H,t) is obtained by twisting the…

In this note, we construct a family of semisimple Hopf algebras $H_{n,m}$ of dimension $n^m m!$ over a field of characteristic zero containing a primitive $n$th root of unity, where $n, m \geq 2$ are integers. The well-known…

In 1997 we proved that any triangular semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0 is obtained from the group algebra k[G] of a finite group G, by twisting its comultiplication by a twist in the sense of…

Let $q>2$ be a prime number, $d$ be an odd square-free natural number, and $n$ be a non-negative integer. We prove that a semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebra of dimension $dq^n$ is solvable in the sense of Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik.…

It is well-known that the Macfarlane-Biedenharn $q$-oscillator and its generalization has no Hopf structure, whereas the Hong Yan $q$-oscillator can be endowed with a Hopf structure. In this letter, we demonstrate that it is possible to…

The algebra H of the dual -1 Hahn polynomials is derived and shown to arise in the Clebsch-Gordan problem of sl_{-1}(2). The dual -1 Hahn polynomials are the bispectral polynomials of a discrete argument obtained from a q-> -1 limit of the…
