We prove a highest weight theorem classifying irerducible finite--dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras and survey what is currently known about the structure of these representations.
In this paper properties of the quantum supermatrices in the quantum supergroup $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ are discussed. It is shown that any element of $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ can be expressed as the exponential of a matrix of non-commuting elements, like…
The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group…
We determine a substantial part of the unitary representation theory of the Drinfeld double of a $q$-deformation of a compact Lie group in terms of the complexification of the compact Lie group. Using this, we show that the dual of every…
The $q$-calculus for generic $q$ is developed and related to the deformed oscillator of parameter $q^{1/2}$. By passing with care to the limit in which $q$ is a root of unity, one uncovers the full algebraic structure of ${{\cal…
The notion of permutative representation is generalized to the $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_{2}$. Permutative representations of $\mathcal{Q}_2$ are then investigated with a particular focus on the inclusion of the Cuntz algebra…
We compute the center and Azumaya locus in the simplest non-abelian examples of quantized multiplicative quiver varieties at a root of unity: quantum Weyl algebras of rank $N$, and quantum differential operators on the quantum group…
We describe the universal quantum group preserving a preregular multilinear form, by means of an explicit finite presentation of the corresponding Hopf algebra.
We construct the positive principal series representations for $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is of simply-laced type, parametrized by $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^r$ where $r$ is the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$. We…
These results stem from a course on ring theory. Quantum planes are rings in two variables $x$ and $y$ such that $yx=qxy$ where $q$ is a nonzero constant. When $q=1$ a quantum plane is simply a commutative polynomial ring in two variables.…
We construct families of irreducible representations for a class of quantum groups $U_{q}(f_{m}(K,H)$. First, we realize these quantum groups as Hyperbolic algebras. Such a realization yields natural families of irreducible weight…
Let $C$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan Matrix, and $q$ an indeterminate. ${\fg}(C)$ is the Kac-Moody Lie algebra and $U=U_q({\fg}(C))$ the associated quantum enveloping algebra over $ k={\Bbb Q}(q)$. The quantum function algebra…
We give a description of a certain induced module for a quantum group of type $A$. Together with our previous results this gives a proof of Lusztig's conjectural multiplicity formula for non-restricted modules over the De Concini-Kac type…
We review the geometrical formulation of Quantum Mechanics to identify, according to Klein's programme, the corresponding group of transformations. For closed systems, it is the unitary group. For open quantum systems, the semigroup of…
This paper is a short account of the construction of a new class of the infinite-dimensional representations of the quantum groups. The examples include finite-dimensional quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$, Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ and…
We reconstruct a quantum group associated with any Lie algebra together with its representation theory from twisted homologies of generalized configuration spaces of disks. Along the way it brings new combinatorics to the theory, but our…
For each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group and each integer level we construct a modular tensor category from a quotient of a certain subcategory of the category of representations of the corresponding quantum group. We determine…
We carry out a generalization of quantum group co-representations in order to encode in this structure those cases where non-commutativity between endomorphism matrix entries and quantum space coordinates happens.
The notion of shifted quantum groups has recently played an important role in algebraic geometry. This subtle modification of the original definition brings more flexibility in the representation theory of quantum groups. The first part of…
We show that the discrete duals of the universal unitary quantum groups and orthogonal quantum groups have Kirchberg's factorization property when n is different from 3.
