Based on the vanishing of the second Hochschild cohomology group of the enveloping algebra of the Heisenberg algebra it is shown that differential algebras coming from quantum groups do not provide a non-trivial deformation of quantum…
A unitary orthosymplectic quantum supergroup is introduced. Two covariant differential calculi on the quantum superspace $SP_q^{1|2}$ are presented. The $h$-deformed symplectic superspaces via a contraction of the $q$-deformed symplectic…
Discrete quantum groups were introduced as duals of compact quantum groups by Podle\'s and Woronowicz in 1990. They have been studied intrinsically by Effros and Ruan (1994) and by the author (1996). In a more recent note (2025), we have…
Let v be the right regular representation of a compact quantum group G. Then (S.L.Woronowicz, "Compact quantum groups") v contains all irreducible representations of G and each irreducible representation enters v with the multiplicity equal…
For a certain class of complexes of pre-Hilbert $A$-modules, we prove that their cohomology groups equipped with a canonical quotient structure are again pre-Hilbert $A$-modules and derive the Hodge decomposition for them. We call these…
Let $\Gamma$ be an $N^2$-dimensional bicovariant first order differential calculus on a Hopf algebra $SL_q(N)$. There are three possibilities to construct a differential Z-graded Hopf algebra $\Gamma^\wedge$ which contains $\Gamma$ as its…
A tutorial introduction is given to general Hopf algebras and to general compact quantum groups. In the definition and further treatment of compact quantum groups C*-algebras are avoided. Contact with Woronowicz's compact matrix quantum…
Using a non canonical braiding over the 3d left covariant calculus we present a family of Hodge operators on the quantum SU(2) and its homogeneous quantum two-sphere.
Two differential calculi are developped on an algebra generalizing the usual q-oscillator algebra and involving three generators and three parameters. They are shown to be invariant under the same quantum group that is extended to a…
We apply the techniques of our previous paper to study joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and one Hecke operator on compact congruence surfaces, and joint eigenfunctions of the two partial Laplacians on compact quotients of…
We consider the Hodge Laplacian $\Delta$ on the Heisenberg group $H_n$, endowed with a left-invariant and U(n)-invariant Riemannian metric. For $0\le k\le 2n+1$, let $\Delta_k$ denote the Hodge Laplacian restricted to $k$-forms. Our first…
We study actions of compact quantum groups on type I factors, which may be interpreted as projective representations of compact quantum groups. We generalize to this setting some of Woronowicz' results concerning Peter-Weyl theory for…
In this article we present explicit formulae for q-differentiation on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e., q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions. The…
We give upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the differential form Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. The proof uses Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below. We also construct differential form Laplacians on Alexandrov spaces.…
A new relativistic description of quantum electrodynamics is presented. Guideline of the theory is the Klein-Gordon equation, which is reformulated to consider spin effects. This is achieved by a representation of relativistic vectors with…
We describe quantum mechanical entanglement in terms of compact quantum groups. We prove an analog of positivity of partial transpose (PPT) criterion and formulate a Horodecki-type Theorem.
In this work, we introduce a class of Timmermann's measured multiplier Hopf *-algebroids called algebraic quantum transformation groupoids of compact type. Each object in this class admits a Pontrjagin-like dual called an algebraic quantum…
A generalization of the differential geometry of forms and vector fields to the case of quantum Lie algebras is given. In an abstract formulation that incorporates many existing examples of differential geometry on quantum groups, we…
We represent by $\{W_{\lambda, t}^\alpha\}_{t>0}$ the semigroup generated by $-\mathbb L^{\alpha}_\lambda$, where $\mathbb L^{\alpha}_\lambda$ is a Hardy operator on a half space. The operator $\mathbb L^{\alpha}_\lambda$ includes a…
