The ``local'' structure of a quantum group G_q is currently considered to be an infinite-dimensional object: the corresponding quantum universal enveloping algebra U_q(g), which is a Hopf algebra deformation of the universal enveloping…
The Lie superalgebra q(2) and its class of irreducible representations V_p of dimension 2p (p being a positive integer) are considered. The action of the q(2) generators on a basis of V_p is given explicitly, and from here two realizations…
SL_q(2) at odd roots of unity q^l =1 is studied as a quantum cover of the complex rotation group SO(3,C), in terms of the associated Hopf algebras of (quantum) polynomial functions. We work out the irreducible corepresentations, the…
Let $A$ be an algebra with a right identity. In this paper, we study $(p, q)-$centralizers of $A$ and show that every $(p, q)-$centralizer of $A$ is a two-sided centralizer. In the case where, $A$ is normed algebra, we also prove that $(p,…
The SL(2,Z) representation $\pi$ on the center of the restricted quantum group U_{q}sl(2) at the primitive 2p-th root of unity is shown to be equivalent to the SL(2,Z) representation on the extended characters of the logarithmic (1,p)…
In this paper properties of the quantum supermatrices in the quantum supergroup $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ are discussed. It is shown that any element of $GL_{p,q}(1|1)$ can be expressed as the exponential of a matrix of non-commuting elements, like…
In this paper we generalize certain results concerning quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{sl_{2}})$ at the critical level to the corresponding elliptic case $E_{q,p}(\hat{sl_2})$. Using the Wakimoto realization of the algebra…
We define the Hopf algebra structure on the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional polynomial representations of $U_q \hat{gl}_N$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. The resulting Hopf algebra $Rep U_q \hat{gl}_\infty$ is a tensor product of its…
A finite group $G$ is of central type (in the non-classical sense) if it admits a non-degenerate cohomology class $[c]\in H^2(G,\C^*)$ ($G$ acts trivially on $\C^*$). Groups of central type play a fundamental role in the classification of…
We give a diagrammatic definition of $U_q(sl_2)$ when $q$ is not a root of unity, including its Hopf algebra structure and its relationship with the Temperley-Lieb category.
Using the language of h-Hopf algebroids which was introduced by Etingof and Varchenko, we construct a dynamical quantum group, F_ell(GL(n)), from the elliptic solution of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation with spectral parameter…
It is shown that when q is a primitive root of unity of order not equal to 2 mod 4, A(SL_q(2)) is a free module of finite rank over the coordinate ring of the classical group SL(2). An explicit set of generators is provided.
Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…
For the two-parameter matrix quantum group GLp,q(2) all bicovariant differential calculi (with a four-dimensional space of 1-forms) are known. They form a one-parameter family. Here, we give an improved presentation of previous results by…
It is known that the inhomogeneous quantum group IGL_{q,r}(2) can be constructed as a quotient of the multiparameter q-deformation of GL(3). We show that a similar result holds for the inhomogeneous Jordanian deformation and exhibit its…
An Introduction to Hopf algebras as a tool for the regularization of relavent quantities in quantum field theory is given. We deform algebraic spaces by introducing q as a regulator of a non-commutative and non-cocommutative Hopf algebra.…
The concept of a quantum algebra is made easy through the investigation of the prototype algebras $u_{qp}(2)$, $su_q(2)$ and $u_{qp}(1,1)$. The latter quantum algebras are introduced as deformations of the corresponding Lie algebras~; this…
We present contraction prescription of the quantum groups: from $SU_q(2)$ to $E_{\kappa}(2)$. Our strategy is different then one chosen in ref. [P. Zaugg, J. Phys. A {\bf 28} (1995) 2589]. We provide explicite prescription for contraction…
Starting from a recently-introduced algebraic structure on spin foam models, we define a Hopf algebra by dividing with an appropriate quotient. The structure, thus defined, naturally allows for a mirror analysis of spin foam models with…
Our first collection of results parametrize (filtered) actions of a quantum Borel $U_q(\mathfrak{b}) \subset U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ on the path algebra of an arbitrary (finite) quiver. When $q$ is a root of unity, we give necessary and…
