Towards quantized complex numbers: $q$-deformed Gaussian integers and the Picard group

Quantum Algebra 2023-06-22 v4 Combinatorics

Abstract

This work is a first step towards a theory of "qq-deformed complex numbers". Assuming the invariance of the qq-deformation under the action of the modular group I prove the existence and uniqueness of the operator of translations by~ii compatible with this action. Obtained in such a way qq-deformed Gaussian integers have interesting properties and are related to the Chebyshev polynomials.
