We describe the cohomology of the sheaf of twisted differential operators on the quantized flag manifold at a root of unity whose order is a prime power. It follows from this and our previous results that for the De Concini-Kac type…

We define a family of Hopf algebra objects, $H$, in the braided category of $\mathbb{Z}_n$-modules (known as anyonic vector spaces), for which the property $\psi^2_{H\otimes H}=id_{H\otimes H}$ holds. We will show that these anyonic Hopf…

A deformed $q$-calculus is developed on the basis of an algebraic structure involving graded brackets. A number operator and left and right shift operators are constructed for this algebra, and the whole structure is related to the algebra…

Polynomial relations for generators of $su(2)$ Lie algebra in arbitrary representations are found. They generalize usual relation for Pauli operators in spin 1/2 case and permit to construct modified Holstein-Primakoff transformations in…

A many variable $q$-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The…

In this paper, we study finite dimensional quotients of the Hopf algebra U_{q}(sl_{2}) at fourth root of unity. We give explicitly all the corresponding automorphisms, real forms and idempotents.

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. The simplest case of these models is the…

We give the complete set of irreducible representations of U(SU(2))_q when q is a m-th root of unity. In particular we show that their dimensions are less or equal to m. Some of them are not highest weight representations.

We classify the nonsplit extensions of elementary abelian $p$-groups by $PSL_2(q)$, with odd $p$ dividing $q-1$, for an irreducible induced action, calculate the relevant low-dimensional cohomology groups, and describe the automorphism…

We describe properties of the nonstandard q-deformation U'_q(so_n) of the universal enveloping algebra U(so_n) of the Lie algebra so_n which does not coincide with the Drinfeld--Jimbo quantum algebra U_q(so_n). In particular, it is shown…

We introduce $*$-structures on braided groups and braided matrices. Using this, we show that the quantum double $D(U_q(su_2))$ can be viewed as the quantum algebra of observables of a quantum particle moving on a hyperboloid in q-Minkowski…

The purposes of this paper is to investigate the properties of the quantum extended strange superalgebra $\tilde{P}_{Q}(n)$ when his deformation parameter $Q$ goes to a root of unity.

Nonlinear deformations of the enveloping algebra of su(2), involving two arbitrary functions of J_0 and generalizing the Witten algebra, were introduced some time ago by Delbecq and Quesne. In the present paper, the problem of endowing some…

In this paper, as a generalization of Kirillov's orbit theory, we explore the relationship between the dressing orbits and irreducible *-representations of the Hopf C*-algebras (A,\Delta) and (\tilde{A}, \tilde{\Delta}) we constructed…

Let K be a knot in $S^3$ and $X$ its complement. We study deformations of reducible metabelian representations of the knot group $\pi_1(X)$ into $SL(3,\mathbb{C})$ which are associated to a double root of the Alexander polynomial. We prove…

Half-integral weight modular forms are naturally viewed as automorphic forms on the so-called metaplectic covering of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{Q}})$ -- a central extension by the roots of unity $\mu_2$ in $\mathbf{Q}$. For…

Non-abelian coordinate ring of $U_q(SL(N))$ (quantum deformation of the algebra of functions) for $N=2,3$ is represented in terms of conventional creation and annihilation operators. This allows to construct explicitly representations of…

There is a surprising isomorphism between the quantised universal enveloping algebras of osp(1|2n) and so(2n+1). This same isomorphism emerged in recent work of Mikhaylov and Witten in the context of string theory as a T-duality composed…

Coherent states on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ are defined by using harmonic analysis and representation theory of the algebra of functions on the quantum group. Semiclassical limit $q\rightarrow 1$ is discussed and the crucial role of…

We show how to adapt the Gelfand-Zetlin basis for describing the atypical representation of ${\cal U}_{\displaystyle{q}}(sl(N))$ when $q$ is root of unity. The explicit construction of atypical representation is presented in details for…
