Problems in the theory of quantum groups

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This is a collection of open problems in the theory of quantum groups. Emphasis is given to problems in the analytic aspects of the subject.

Introduction to quantum Lie algebras

Gustav Delius (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Quantum Lie algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras whose structure constants are power series in h. They are derived from the quantized enveloping algebras U h ( g ) . The quantum Lie bracket satisfies a generalization of antisymmetry. Representations of quantum Lie algebras are defined in terms of a generalized commutator. The recent general results about quantum Lie algebras are introduced with the help of the explicit example of ( s l 2 ) h .

When is a quantum space not a group?

Piotr Mikołaj Sołtan (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We give a survey of techniques from quantum group theory which can be used to show that some quantum spaces (objects of the category dual to the category of C*-algebras) do not admit any quantum group structure. We also provide a number of examples which include some very well known quantum spaces. Our tools include several purely quantum group theoretical results as well as study of existence of characters and traces on C*-algebras describing the considered quantum spaces as well as...

Examples of quantum braided groups

Hlavatý, Ladislav

Similarity:

Summary: The author gives the defining relations of a new type of bialgebras that generalize both the quantum groups and braided groups as well as the quantum supergroups. The relations of the algebras are determined by a pair of matrices ( R , Z ) that solve a system of Yang-Baxter-type equations. The matrix coproduct and counit are of standard matrix form, however, the multiplication in the tensor product of the algebra is defined by virtue of the braiding map given by the matrix Z . Besides...

Deformed commutators on comodule algebras over coquasitriangular Hopf algebras

Zhongwei Wang, Guoyin Zhang, Liangyun Zhang (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct quantum commutators on comodule algebras over coquasitriangular Hopf algebras, so that they are quantum group coinvariant and have the generalized antisymmetry and Leibniz properties. If the coquasitriangular Hopf algebra is additionally cotriangular, then the quantum commutators satisfy a generalized Jacobi identity, and turn the comodule algebra into a quantum Lie algebra. Moreover, we investigate the projective and injective dimensions of some Doi-Hopf modules over a...

Contractible quantum Arens-Michael algebras

Nina V. Volosova (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider quantum analogues of locally convex spaces in terms of the non-coordinate approach. We introduce the notions of a quantum Arens-Michael algebra and a quantum polynormed module, and also quantum versions of projectivity and contractibility. We prove that a quantum Arens-Michael algebra is contractible if and only if it is completely isomorphic to a Cartesian product of full matrix C*-algebras. Similar results in the framework of traditional (non-quantum) approach are established,...
