The key concept discussed in these lectures is the relation between the Hamiltonians of a quantum integrable system and the Casimir elements in the underlying hidden symmetry algebra. (In typical applications the latter is either the…
A general framework is described which associates geometrical structures to any set of $D$ finite-dimensional hermitian matrices $X^a, \ a=1,...,D$. This framework generalizes and systematizes the well-known examples of fuzzy spaces, and…
The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
Integrals of motion are constructed from noncommutative (NC) Kepler dynamics, generating $SO(3),$ $SO(4),$ and $SO(1,3)$ dynamical symmetry groups. The Hamiltonian vector field is derived in action-angle coordinates, and the existence of a…
We analyze the recent examples of quantum semigroups defined by M.M. Sadr who also brought up several open problems concerning these objects. These are defined as quantum families of maps from finite sets to a fixed compact quantum…
The algebraic approach to quantum mechanics has been vital to the development of quantum theory since its inception, and it has evolved into a mathematically rigorous $C^\ast$-algebraic formulation of the theory's axioms. Conversely, the…
We consider in general terms dynamical systems with finite-dimensional, non-simply connected configuration-spaces. The fundamental group is assumed to be finite. We analyze in full detail those ambiguities in the quantization procedure that…
The Fourier transform, known in classical analysis, and generalized in abstract harmonic analysis, can also be considered in the theory of locally compact quantum groups. In this note, I discuss some aspects of this more general Fourier…
We review some recent results concerning integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 space-time dimensions which contain unstable particles in their spectrum. Recalling first the main features of analytic scattering theories associated to…
In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…
A quantum symmetric pair consists of a quantum group $\mathbf U$ and its coideal subalgebra ${\mathbf U}^{\imath}_{\boldsymbol{\varsigma}}$ with parameters $\boldsymbol{\varsigma}$ (called an $\imath$quantum group). We initiate a Hall…
A novel algebra underlying integrable systems is shown to generate and unify a large class of quantum integrable models with given $R$-matrix, through reductions of an ancestor Lax operator and its different realizations. Along with known…
We study the topological structure of the automorphism groups of compact quantum groups showing that, in parallel to a classical result due to Iwasawa, the connected component of identity of the automorphism group and of the "inner"…
We carry out a model-theoretic analysis of the Heisenberg algebra. To this end, a geometric structure is associated to the Heisenberg algebra and is shown to be a Zariski geometry. Furthermore, this Zariski geometry is shown to be…
We propose an algebra of operators along an observer's worldline as a background-independent algebra in quantum gravity. In that context, it is natural to think of the Hartle-Hawking no boundary state as a universal state of maximum…
Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…
In this paper, we first introduce a quantum $n$-space with a cocommutative Hopf algebra structure. Then it is shown that to this quantum $n$-space there corresponds a derivation algebra of $\sigma$-twisted derivations related to some…
In this paper, we introduce a quantum version of the wonderful compactification of a group as a certain noncommutative projective scheme. Our approach stems from the fact that the wonderful compactification encodes the asymptotics of matrix…
As an instance of a linear action of a Hopf algebra on a free associative algebra, we consider finite group gradings of a free algebra induced by gradings on the space spanned by the free generators. The homogeneous component corresponding…
We prove that the direct sum of all homology groups of the integral general linear groups with Steinberg module coefficients form a commutative Hopf algebra, in particular a free graded commutative algebra. We use this to construct new…
