The Hilbert space of a free massless particle moving on a group manifold is studied in details using canonical quantisation. While the simplest model is invariant under a global symmetry, $G \times G$, there is a very natural way to…
We consider quantum models corresponding to superymmetrizations of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator based on worldline $d=1$ realizations of the supergroup SU$(\,{\cal N}/2\,|1)$, where the number of supersymmetries ${\cal N}$ is…
After a brief survey of the appearance of quantum algebras in diverse contexts of quantum gravity, we demonstrate that the particular deformed algebras, which arise within the approach of J.Nelson and T.Regge to 2+1 anti-de Sitter quantum…
We find, for each $n\geq2$, the class of $n\times n$ compact quantum groups whose representation theory is similar to that of $SU(2)$: this is the class of "free analogues of $O(n)$" constructed by Van Daele and Wang.
Spaces of constant curvature and their motion groups are described most naturally in Cartesian basis. All these motion groups also known as CK groups are obtained from orthogonal group by contractions and analytical continuations. On the…
It is well-known that quantum groups are relevant to describe the quantum regime of 3d gravity. They encode a deformation of the gauge symmetries parametrized by the value of the cosmological constant. They appear as a form of…
This is an introduction to the quantum groups, or rather to the simplest quantum groups. The idea is that the unitary group $U_N$ has a free analogue $U_N^+$, whose standard coordinates $u_{ij}\in C(U_N^+)$ are allowed to be free, and the…
Given a quantum subgroup $G\subset U_n$ and a number $k\leq n$ we can form the homogeneous space $X=G/(G\cap U_k)$, and it follows from the Stone-Weierstrass theorem that $C(X)$ is the algebra generated by the last $n-k$ rows of coordinates…
In this article, we explore the quantum symmetry of the direct sum of a finite family of Cuntz algebras $\{\mathcal{O}_{n_i} \}_{i=1}^{m}$, viewing them as graph $C^*$-algebras associated to the graphs $\{L_{n_i}\}_{i=1}^{m}$ (where $L_n$…
We show that the quantum Heisenberg group $H_{q}(1)$ can be obtained by means of contraction from quantum $SU_q(2)$ group. Its dual Hopf algebra is the quantum Heisenberg algebra $U_{q}(h(1))$. We derive left and right regular…
We show that the quantum automorphism group of the Clebsch graph is $SO_5^{-1}$. This answers a question by Banica, Bichon and Collins from 2007. More general for odd $n$, the quantum automorphism group of the folded $n$-cube graph is…
We describe a deformation of the observable algebra of quantum gravity in which the loop algebra is extended to framed loops. This allows an alternative nonperturbative quantization which is suitable for describing a phase of quantum…
For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $q\in [0,1[$, the Vaksman-Soibelman quantum sphere $S^{2n+1}_q$ is described by an associative algebra $\mathcal{A}(S^{2n+1}_q)$ deforming the algebra of polynomial functions on the 2n+1 dimensional unit sphere. Its…
A Hamiltonian embedding is an embedding of a graph $G$ such that the boundary of each face is a Hamiltonian cycle of $G$. It is shown that the hypercube graph $Q_n$ admits such an embedding on an orientable surface when $n$ is a power of 2.…
The isotropic harmonic oscillator in N dimensions is shown to have an underlying symmetry group O(2,1)X O(N)which implies a unique result for the energy spectrum of the system. Raising and lowering operators analogous to those of the…
We study the quantum isometry groups of the noncommutative Riemannian manifolds associated to discrete group duals. The basic representation theory problem is to compute the law of the main character of the relevant quantum group, and our…
We define new noncommutative spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We investigate the quantum groups acting maximally on them, which yields new quantum versions of the orthogonal group: They are partially…
We endorse the context that the cosmological constant problem is a quantum cosmology issue. Therefore, in this paper we investigate the $q$-deformed Wheeler-DeWitt equation of a spatially closed homogeneous and isotropic Universe in the…
In this paper we will demonstrate that any compact quantum group can be used as symmetry groups for quantum channels, which leads us to the concept of covariant channels. We, then, unearth the structure of the convex set of covariant…
We discuss the $q$ deformation of Weyl-Heisenberg algebra in connection with the von Neumann theorem in Quantum Mechanics. We show that the $q$-deformation parameter labels the Weyl systems in Quantum Mechanics and the unitarily…
