Toeplitz Quantization for Non-commutating Symbol Spaces such as S U q ( 2 )

Stephen Bruce Sontz (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

Toeplitz quantization is defined in a general setting in which the symbols are the elements of a possibly non-commutative algebra with a conjugation and a possibly degenerate inner product. We show that the quantum group S U q ( 2 ) is such an algebra. Unlike many quantization schemes, this Toeplitz quantization does not require a measure. The theory is based on the mathematical structures defined and studied in several recent papers of the author; those papers dealt with some specific examples of this new...

Topics in statistical physics involving braids

J. McCabe, T. Wydro (1998)

Banach Center Publications

We review the appearance of the braid group in statistical physics. In particular, we explain its relevance to the anyon model of fractional statistics and conformal field theory.

Torsions of connections on tangent bundles of higher order

Kureš, Miroslav (1998)

Proceedings of the 17th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The torsions of a general connection Γ on the r th-order tangent bundle of a manifold M are defined as the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket of Γ with the natural affinors. The author deduces the basic properties of these torsions. Then he compares them with the classical torsion of a principal connection on the r th-order frame bundle of M .
