The nonabelian two-dimensional Lie algebra over a field $\mathbb{F}$ has a presentation by generators $A$, $B$ and relation $\left[ A,B\right]=A$, with the universal enveloping algebra having a presentation by generators $A$, $B$ and…
In this paper we study the Poisson-Lie version of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction defined in q-alg/9704011, q-alg/9702016. Using the bialgebra structure related to the new Drinfeld realization of affine quantum groups we describe reduction…
The gauge invariant observables of the closed bosonic string are quantized without anomalies in four space-time dimensions by constructing their quantum algebra in a manifestly covariant approach. The quantum algebra is the kernel of a…
The Poisson structures on two-dimensional Galilei group, classified in the author previous paper are quantized. The dual quantum Galilei Lie algebras are found.
The Lie algebra of pseudodifferential symbols on the circle has a nontrivial central extension (by the ``logarithmic'' 2-cocycle) generalizing the Virasoro algebra. The corresponding extended subalgebra of integral operators generates the…
We show explicitly a generalised Lie algebra embedded in the positive and negative parts of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups of type A_n. Such a generalised Lie algebra satisfy axioms closely related to the ones found by S.L. Woronowicz.…
Quantum toroidal algebras (or double affine quantum algebras) are defined from quantum affine Kac-Moody algebras by using the Drinfeld quantum affinization process. They are quantum groups analogs of elliptic Cherednik algebras (elliptic…
We establish a quantum analogue of the classical metaplectic Howe duality involving the pair of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ in the case when $n=1$. Our results yield commuting representations of the pair of…
We establish a new Howe duality between a pair of quantum queer superalgebras $(\mathrm{U}_{q^{-1}}(\mathfrak{q}_n), \mathrm{U}_q(\mathfrak{q}_m))$. The key ingredient is the construction of a non-commutative analogue…
The quantum algebra suq(2) is introduced as a deformation of the ordinary Lie algebra su(2). This is achieved in a simple way by making use of $q$-bosons. In connection with the quantum algebra suq(2), we discuss the q-analogues of the…
This is an introduction to quantum algebra, from a geometric perspective. The classical spaces $X$, such as the Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, or more general manifolds, are described by various algebras $A$, defined over various fields…
The space of realizations of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra by first order differential operators is naturally isomorphic to H^1 with coefficients in the module of functions. The condition that a realization admits a finite-dimensional…
In this paper, we associate a dual quasi-bialgebra, called bosonization, to every dual quasi-bialgebra $H$ and every bialgebra $R$ in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$. Then, using the fundamental theorem, we characterize as…
Following a suggestion by Vafa, we present a quantum-mechanical model for S-duality symmetries observed in the quantum theories of fields, strings and branes. Our formalism may be understood as the topological limit of Berezin's metric…
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…
Using theory of props we prove a formality theorem associated with universal quantizations of (strongly homotopy) Lie bialgebras.
The pigeonhole principle: "If you put three pigeons in two pigeonholes at least two of the pigeons end up in the same hole" is an obvious yet fundamental principle of Nature as it captures the very essence of counting. Here however we show…
We consider some general aspects of the new noncommutative or quantum geometry coming out of the theory of quantum groups, in connection with Planck scale physics. A generalisation of Fourier or wave-particle duality on curved spaces…
Beginning with a skew-symmetric matrix, we define a certain Poisson--Lie group. Its Poisson bracket can be viewed as a cocycle perturbation of the linear (or "Lie-Poisson") Poisson bracket. By analyzing this Poisson structure, we gather…
We construct the first examples of purely continuous, $q$-deformed Lie type locally compact quantum groups in higher rank. They arise from Drinfeld-Jimbo quantization, at unimodular deformation parameter, of the totally positive part of…
