We classify right coideal subalgebras of the finite-dimensional quotient of the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and that of the quantized coordinate algebra $\mathcal{O}_q(SL_2)$ at a root of unity $q$ of odd order. All…

We consider the conditions under which the $q$-oscillator algebra becomes a Hopf $*$-algebra. In particular, we show that there are at least two real forms associated with the algebra. Furthermore, through the representations, it is shown…

The metohod of ortogonal rotations introduced in the previous papers of the author is used for construction of the explicit form the generators of the simple roots for quantum (and ussual) semisimple algebras. All calculations are presented…

We construct a family of q-deformations of SU(2) for complex parameters q not equal to 0. For real q, the deformation coincides with Woronowicz' compact quantum SU_q(2) group. For q not real, SU_q(2) is only a braided compact quantum group…

Highest weight representations of $U_q(su(1,1))$ with $q=\exp \pi i/N$ are investigated. The structures of the irreducible hieghesat weight modules are discussed in detail. The Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for the tensor product of two…

The quantum mechanics of one degree of freedom exhibiting the exact conformal SL(2,R) symmetry is presented. The starting point is the classification of the unitary irreducible representations of the SL(2,R) group (or, to some extent, its…

Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…

Quantum groups at roots of unity have the property that their centre is enlarged. Polynomial equations relate the standard deformed Casimir operators and the new central elements. These relations are important from a physical point of view…

In this article, we obtain a complete list of inequivalent irreducible representations of the compact quantum group $U_q(2)$ for non-zero complex deformation parameters $q$, which are not roots of unity. The matrix coefficients of these…

We show that the representation category of the quantum group of a non-degenerate bilinear form is monoidally equivalent to the representation category of the quantum group SL_q(2), for a well chosen non-zero parameter q. The main…

We review the q-deformed spin network approach to Topological Quantum Field Theory and apply these methods to produce unitary representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. Our methods are rooted in the bracket…

We calculate the third homology of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q})$ with half-integral coefficients. Corresponding to each prime $p$ there is an operator on this group with square the identity. The kernel of the (split surjective) homomorphism…

We study the restriction of representations of Cayley-Hamilton algebras to subalgebras. This theory is applied to determine tensor products and branching rules for representations of quantum groups at roots of 1.

We study the behaviors of quantum groups under an edge contraction. We show that there exists an explicit embedding induced by an edge contraction operation. We further conjecture that this explicit embedding is a section of an explicit…

A two-parametric deformation of U[sl(2)] and its representations are considered. This newly introduced two-parametric quantum group denoted as $U_{pq}[sl(2)]$ admits a class of infinite-dimensional representations which have no classical…

We re-examine all the contractions related with the ${\cal U}_q(su(2))$ deformed algebra and study the consequences that the contraction process has for their structure. We also show using ${\cal U}_q(su(2))\times{\cal U}(u(1))$ as an…

This work begins with a review of complexification and realification of Hopf algebras. We emphasize the notion of multiplier Hopf algebras for the description of different classes of functions (compact supported, bounded, unbounded) on…

The recent notion of $q$-deformed irrational numbers is characterized by the invariance with respect to the action of the modular group $\PSL(2,\Z)$, or equivalently under the Burau representation of the braid group~$B_3$. The theory of…

We determine which orthogonal representations V of GL(n,q) lift to the double cover Pin(V ) of the orthogonal group O(V ). We cover all n and prime powers q, except for (n; q) =(3,4).

In this paper we analyze the structure of some subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras corresponding to unipotent and solvable subgroups of a simple Lie group G. These algebras have the non--commutative structure of iterated algebras…
