General algebraic properties of the algebras of vector fields over quantum linear groups $GL_q(N)$ and $SL_q(N)$ are studied. These quantum algebras appears to be quite similar to the classical matrix algebra. In particular, quantum…
We recast the Podle\`s spheres in the noncommutative physics context by showing that they can be regarded as slices along the time coordinate of the different regions of the quantum Minkowski space-time. The investigation of the…
We clarify the correspondence between the two approaches to quantum graphs: via quantum adjacency matrices and via quantum relations. We show how the choice of a (possibly non-tracial) weight manifests itself on the quantum relation side…
In recent papers, a few physicists studying Black Hole perturbation theory in General Relativity have tried to construct the initial part of a differential sequence based on the Kerr metric, using methods similar to the ones they already…
In honor of Minkowski's great contribution to Special Relativity, celebrated at this conference, we first review Wigner's theory of the projective irreducible representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. We also sketch those parts of…
We adapt the axioms of the quantum mechanics to the quantum Minkowski space-time coordinates and their transformations under the quantum Lorentz group to show how we can formulate the noncommutative special relativity and its quantum…
The Stokes parameters form a Minkowskian four-vector under various optical transformations. As a consequence, the resulting two-by-two density matrix constitutes a representation of the Lorentz group. The associated Poincare sphere is a…
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…
We establish a correspondence (or duality) between the characters and the crystal bases of finite-dimensional representations of quantum groups associated to Langlands dual semi-simple Lie algebras. This duality may also be stated purely in…
So called "analogue models" use condensed matter systems (typically hydrodynamic) to set up an "effective metric" and to model curved-space quantum field theory in a physical system where all the microscopic degrees of freedom are well…
In this note we comment on yet another way of describing metric of quantum states with the Lorentzian signature. For this, we consider the metric of quantum states and make successive transformations, exploiting the relationship between S3…
We initiate a general approach to the relative braid group symmetries on (universal) $\imath$quantum groups, arising from quantum symmetric pairs of arbitrary finite types, and their modules. Our approach is built on new intertwining…
To any complex Hadamard matrix we associate a quantum permutation group. The correspondence is not one-to-one, but the quantum group encapsulates a number of subtle properties of the matrix. We investigate various aspects of the…
We generalize the Stueckelberg formalism in the (1/2,1/2) representation of the Lorentz Group. Some relations to other modern-physics models are found.
The main result of this work is to present the complete list of Uq(sl2)-symmetries of quantum plane. For that, the structure of quantum plane automorphisms is used. Our idea in classifying the above symmetries is in introducing some special…
A new formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is presented and applied to a free, massive, and spin zero elementary particle in the Minkowski spacetime. The reformulation requires that time and space, as well as the timelike and…
A gauge theory of quantum gravity is formulated, in which an internal, field dependent metric is introduced which non-linearly realizes the gauge fields on the non-compact group $SL(2,C)$, while linearly realizing them on $SU(2)$.…
Essential properties of semiclassical approximation for quantum mechanics are viewed as axioms of an abstract semiclassical mechanics. Its symmetry properties are discussed. Semiclassical systems being invariant under Lie groups are…
Quantum super 2-shpheres and the corresponding quantum super transformation group are introduced in analogy to the well-known quantum 2-shpheres and quantum SL(2), connection between little $t$-Jacobi polynomials and the finite dimensional…
For every $n\geq 1$, we calculate the Hochschild homology of the quantum monoids $M_q(n)$, and the quantum groups $GL_q(n)$ and $SL_q(n)$ with coefficients in a 1-dimensional module coming from a modular pair in involution.
