The quantum complex Grassmannian U_q/K_q of rank l is the quotient of the quantum unitary group U_q=U_q(n) by the quantum subgroup K_q=U_q(n-l)xU_q(l). We show that (U_q,K_q) is a quantum Gelfand pair and we express the zonal spherical…

We consider two algebraic invariants in the representation theory of quantized enveloping algebras: the dimension growth of simple modules for the De Concini-Kac quantum group at roots of unity, and the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of simple…

Quantum groups and non-commutative spaces have been repeatedly utilized in approaches to quantum gravity. They provide a mathematically elegant cut-off, often interpreted as related to the Planck-scale quantum uncertainty in position. We…

Let F be a local field. The action of GL(n,F) on the Grassmann variety Gr(m,n,F) induces a continuous representation of the maximal compact subgroup of GL(n,F) on the space of L^2-functions on Gr(m,n,F). The irreducible constituents of this…

We study Gelfand pairs for locally compact quantum groups. We give an operator algebraic interpretation and show that the quantum Plancherel transformation restricts to a spherical Plancherel transformation. As an example, we turn the…

Representations of the quantum superalgebra U_q[osp(1/2)] and their relations to the basic hypergeometric functions are investigated. We first establish Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for the superalgebra U_q[osp(1/2)] in which the…

We present the universal, in Vogel's sense, expression for the quantum dimension of Cartan product of an arbitrary number of adjoint and $X_2$ representations of simple Lie algebras. The same formula mysteriously gives quantum dimensions of…

Global dimensions for fusion categories defined by a pair (G,k), where G is a Lie group and k a positive integer, are expressed in terms of Lie quantum superfactorial functions. The global dimension is defined as the square sum of quantum…

Using a general result of Lusztig, we give explicit formulas for the dimensions of K^F-invariants in irreducible representations of G^F, when G=GL_n, F:G->G is a Frobenius map, and K is an F-stable subgroup of finite index in G^theta for…

Attention is focused on antisymmetrized versions of quantum spaces that are of particular importance in physics, i.e. two-dimensional quantum plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…

We study the quantum symmetric spaces for quantum general linear groups modulo symplectic groups. We first determine the structure of the quotient quantum group and completely determine the quantum invariants. We then derive the…

We revisit the representation theory of the quantum double of the universal cover of the Lorentz group in 2+1 dimensions, motivated by its role as a deformed Poincar\'e symmetry and symmetry algebra in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. We…

In the present paper we construct all typical finite-dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra $U_{q}[gl(2/2)]$ at generic deformation parameter $q$. As in the non-deformed case the finite-dimensional…

In this short note, we derive dimension formulas for spaces of Drinfeld cusp forms corresponding to harmonic cocycles invariant under the group $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q[t])$ and with values in absolutely irreducible…

Explicit expressions for the generators of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(n/m)]$ acting on a class of irreducible representations are given. The class under consideration consists of all essentially typical representations: for these a…

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 present an explicit product formula for the spherical functions of the compact Gelfand pairs $(G,K_1)= (SU(p+q), SU(p)\times SU(q))$ with $p\ge 2q$, which can be considered as the elementary spherical functions of one-dimensional…

We confirm the equivalence of the Schr\"odinger representation and the holomorphic one, based on previous results of the General Boundary Formulation (GBF) of quantum field theory. On a wide class of curved spacetimes, we consider real…

Let (\Gamma,d) be the 3D-calculus or the 4D_{\pm}-calculus on the quantum group SU_q(2). We describe all pairs (\pi, F) of a *-representation \pi of O(SU_q(2)) and of a symmetric operator F on the representation space satisfying a technical…

We define a one-parameter family of two-sided coideals in U_q(gl(n)) and study the corresponding algebras of infinitesimally right invariant functions on the quantum unitary group U_q(n). The Plancherel decomposition of these algebras with…
