Abstract

Using the isomorphism o(3;C)sl(2;C)\mathfrak{o}(3;\mathbb{C})\simeq\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{C}) we develop a new simple algebraic technique for complete classification of quantum deformations (the classical rr-matrices) for real forms o(3)\mathfrak{o}(3) and o(2,1)\mathfrak{o}(2,1) of the complex Lie algebra o(3;C)\mathfrak{o}(3;\mathbb{C}) in terms of real forms of sl(2;C)\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{C}): su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2), su(1,1)\mathfrak{su}(1,1) and sl(2;R)\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R}). We prove that the D=3D=3 Lorentz symmetry o(2,1)su(1,1)sl(2;R)\mathfrak{o}(2,1)\simeq\mathfrak{su}(1,1)\simeq\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R}) has three different Hopf-algebraic quantum deformations which are expressed in the simplest way by two standard su(1,1)\mathfrak{su}(1,1) and sl(2;R)\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R}) qq-analogs and by simple Jordanian sl(2;R)\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R}) twist deformations. These quantizations are presented in terms of the quantum Cartan-Weyl generators for the quantized algebras su(1,1)\mathfrak{su}(1,1) and sl(2;R)\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R}) as well as in terms of quantum Cartesian generators for the quantized algebra o(2,1)\mathfrak{o}(2,1). Finaly, some applications of the deformed D=3D=3 Lorentz symmetry are mentioned.
