Quantum Fibre Bundles. An Introduction

Tomasz Brzeziński (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An approach to construction of a quantum group gauge theory based on the quantum group generalisation of fibre bundles is reviewed.

A note on coalgebra gauge theory

Tomasz Brzeziński (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A generalisation of quantum principal bundles in which a quantum structure group is replaced by a coalgebra is proposed.

Quantum principal bundles and their characteristic classes

Mićo Đurđević (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A general theory of characteristic classes of quantum principal bundles is presented, incorporating basic ideas of classical Weil theory into the conceptual framework of noncommutative differential geometry. A purely cohomological interpretation of the Weil homomorphism is given, together with a geometrical interpretation via quantum invariant polynomials. A natural spectral sequence is described. Some interesting quantum phenomena appearing in the formalism are discussed.

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,...

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...

On the quantum groups and semigroups of maps between noncommutative spaces

Maysam Maysami Sadr (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We define algebraic families of (all) morphisms which are purely algebraic analogs of quantum families of (all) maps introduced by P. M. Sołtan. Also, algebraic families of (all) isomorphisms are introduced. By using these notions we construct two classes of Hopf-algebras which may be interpreted as the quantum group of all maps from a finite space to a quantum group, and the quantum group of all automorphisms of a finite noncommutative (NC) space. As special cases three classes of NC...

Some remarks on quantum and braided group gauge theory

Shahn Majid (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We clarify some aspects of quantum group gauge theory and its recent generalisations (by T. Brzeziński and the author) to braided group gauge theory and coalgebra gauge theory. We outline the diagrammatic version of the braided case. The bosonisation of any braided group provides us a trivial principal bundle in three ways.
