We show that much of the structure of the 2-sphere as a complex curve survives the q-deformation and has natural generalizations to the quantum 2-sphere - which, with additional structures, we identify with the quantum projective line.…
Whereas the classical sphere $C P^1$ can be defined as the coordinate algebra generated by the matrix entries of a projector $e$ with $\trace(e)=1$, the fuzzy-sphere is defined in the same way by $\trace(e)=1+\lambda$. We show that the…
Invariant integrals of functions and forms over $q$ - deformed Euclidean space and spheres in $N$ dimensions are defined and shown to be positive definite, compatible with the star - structure and to satisfy a cyclic property involving the…
There are 13 equivalence classes of 2D second order quantum and classical superintegrable systems with nontrivial potential, each associated with a quadratic algebra of hidden symmetries. We study the finite and infinite irreducible…
Whenever a given Poisson manifold is equipped with discrete symmetries the corresponding algebra of invariant functions or the algebra of functions twisted by the symmetry group can have new deformations, which are not captured by…
These notes present an introduction to an analytic version of deformation quantization. The central point is to study algebras of physical observables and their irreducible representations. In classical mechanics one deals with real Poisson…
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…
We study quantum deformations of Poisson orbivarieties. Given a Poisson manifold $(\mathbb{R}^{m},\alpha)$ we consider the Poisson orbivariety $(\mathbb{R}^{m})^{n}/S_{n}$. The Kontsevich star product on functions on $(\mathbb{R}^{m})^{n}$…
After having dealt with the classical Weyl quantization, the deformation quantization and the recently (but old) Born-Jordan quantization, the purpose of the article is a sort of ''monomial quantization'' of the $2$-sphere. The result of…
For every rational homology 3-sphere with 2-torsion only we construct a unified invariant (which takes values in a certain cyclotomic completion of a polynomial ring), such that the evaluation of this invariant at any odd root of unity…
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…
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…
Using the corepresentation of the quantum group $ SL_q(2)$ a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. The method allows us to treat the quantum plane and Podle\'s' quantum spheres in a…
A wide class of noncommutative spaces, including 4-spheres based on all the quantum 2-spheres and suspensions of matrix quantum groups is described. For each such space a noncommutative vector bundle is constructed. This generalises and…
We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices $M_2(\C)=\C\Z_2\cdot\C\Z_2$. We also further extend the coalgebra…
We consider the problem of a sphere rolling of a curved surface and solve it by mapping it to the precession of a spin 1/2 in a magnetic field of variable magnitude and direction. The mapping can be of pedagogical use in discussing both…
In this paper we achieve the quantization of a particle moving on the $SU(2)$ group manifold, that is, the three-dimensional sphere $S^{3}$, by using group-theoretical methods. For this purpose, a fundamental role is played by contact,…
We evaluate the path integral of the Poisson sigma model on sphere and study the correlators of quantum observables. We argue that for the path integral to be well-defined the corresponding Poisson structure should be unimodular. The…
A 3d generally covariant field theory having some unusual properties is described. The theory has a degenerate 3-metric which effectively makes it a 2d field theory in disguise. For 2-manifolds without boundary, it has an infinite number of…
The integrals of motion of the classical two dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion close in a restrained quadratic Poisson algebra, whose the general form is investigated. Each classical superintegrable…
