We introduce a new kind of non-relativistic ${\cal N}{=}\,8$ supersymmetric mechanics, associated with worldline realizations of the supergroup $SU(2|2)$ treated as a deformation of flat ${\cal N}{=}\,8$, $d{=}1$ supersymmetry. Various…
The general framework of bicrossproduct Hopf algebras given by Majid is extended to $Z_2$-graded bicrossproduct Hopf superalgebras. As examples of bicrossproduct Hopf superalgebras we provide the graded algebras of functions on undeformed…
In this paper we give an alternative construction of a certain class of Deformed Double Current Algebras. These algebras are deformations of $U({\rm End}(\Bbbk^r)[x,y])$ and they were initially defined and studied by N.Guay in his papers.…
We construct new models of `curved' SU$(4|1)$ supersymmetric mechanics based on two versions of the off-shell multiplet ${\bf(8,8,0)}$ which are `mirror' to each other. The worldline realizations of the supergroup SU$(4|1)$ are treated as a…
Some one- and two-parametric deformations of U[sl(2)] and their representations are considered. Interestingly, a newly introduced two-parametric deformation admits a class of infinite - dimensional representations which have no classical…
We construct a class of negative spin irreducible representations of the su(2) Lie algebra. These representations are infinite-dimensional and have an indefinite inner product. We analyze the decomposition of arbitrary products of positive…
This is the second part of an article about q-deformed analogs of spinor calculus. The considerations refer to quantum spaces of physical interest, i.e. q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
An explicit derivation of the elements of the representation ring of SU(2) needed to implement the four-dimensional Kirby calculus is sketched.
Classification of differential forms on $\kappa$-Minkowski space, particularly, the classification of all bicovariant differential calculi of classical dimension is presented. By imposing super-Jacobi identities we derive all possible…
Modular double of quantum group U_q (sl(2)) with deformation parameter q=e^{i\pi\tau} is a natural object explicitly taking into account the duality \tau -> 1/\tau. The use of the modular double in CFT allows to consider the region 1<c<25…
Let $[SU(2n), \mathscr{L}]$ denote the bordism class of $SU(2n)$ $(n\ge 2)$ equipped with its left invariant framing $\mathscr{L}$. Then it is well known that $e_\mathbb{C}([SU(2n), \mathscr{L}])=0$ where $e_\mathbb{C}$ denotes the complex…
The phase structure of the finite SU(2)xSU(2) theory with N=2 supersymmetry, broken to N=1 by mass terms for the adjoint-valued chiral multiplets, is determined exactly by compactifying the theory on a circle of finite radius. The exact…
Unified graded differential algebra, generated by $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative (NC) coordinates, Lorentz generators and anticommuting one-forms, is constructed. It is compatible with $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-Hopf algebra. For time- and…
We study 2+1D toroidal compactifications of M-theory with twists in the U-duality group. These compactifications realize many symmetric-manifolds from the classification of 2+1D extended supergravity moduli-spaces. We then focus on the…
We consider quantum supergroups that arise in non-anticommutative deformations of N=(1/2,1/2) and N=(1,1) four-dimensional Euclidean supersymmetric theories. Twist operators in the corresponding deformed algebras of superfields contain left…
In ${\cal N}=5, 6, 8$ supergravities there are hidden symmetries of equations of motion, described by duality groups $SU(1,5), \, SO^*(12), \, E_{7(7)}$ respectively. UV divergences and known candidate counterterms violate the deformed…
We prove that the group of strict contactomorphisms of the standard tight contact structure on the three-sphere deformation retracts to its unitary subgroup U(2).
Using crystal basis, in the space of symmetric irreducible representations, we explicitly write invertible deforming functionals between the q-deformed universal enveloping algebra and the Lie algebras sl(n) and sp(2n).For sl(2) we obtain…
We revisit the reduction of type II supergravity on SU(3) structure manifolds, conjectured to lead to gauged N=2 supergravity in 4 dimensions. The reduction proceeds by expanding the invariant 2- and 3-forms of the SU(3) structure as well…
The linear delta expansion is applied to a calculation of the SU(2) mass gap on the lattice. Our results compare favourably with the strong-coupling expansion and are in good agreement with recent Monte Carlo estimates.
