-analog of Gelfand-Graev basis for the noncompact quantum algebra .
The notion of strong circularity for an unbounded operator is introduced and studied. Moreover, q-deformed circularity as a q-analogue of circularity is characterized in terms of the partially isometric and the positive parts of the polar decomposition.
An approach to construction of a quantum group gauge theory based on the quantum group generalisation of fibre bundles is reviewed.
We define the concept of quantum section of a line bundle of a homogeneous superspace and we employ it to define the concept of quantum homogeneous projective superspace. We also suggest a generalization of the QDP to the quantum supersetting.
We study the discrete groups whose duals embed into a given compact quantum group, . In the matrix case the embedding condition is equivalent to having a quotient map , where is a certain family of groups associated to . We develop here a number of techniques for computing , partly inspired from Bichon’s classification of group dual subgroups . These results are motivated by Goswami’s notion of quantum isometry group, because a compact connected Riemannian manifold cannot have non-abelian...
We propose a direction of study of nonabelian theta functions by establishing an analogy between the Weyl quantization of a one-dimensional particle and the metaplectic representation on the one hand, and the quantization of the moduli space of flat connections on a surface and the representation of the mapping class group on the space of nonabelian theta functions on the other. We exemplify this with the cases of classical theta functions and of the nonabelian theta functions for the gauge group...
We summarise recent results concerning quantum stochastic convolution cocycles in two contexts-purely algebraic and C*-algebraic. In each case the class of cocycles arising as the solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation is characterised and the form taken by the stochastic generator of a *-homomorphic cocycle is described. Throughout the paper a common viewpoint on the algebraic and C*-algebraic situations is emphasised; the final section treats the unifying example of convolution...
