Modules over\mathfrak{U}_q (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 )

The restricted quantum universal enveloping algebra decomposes in a canonical way into a direct sum of indecomposable left (or right) ideals. They are useful for determining the direct summands which occur in the tensor product of two simple . The indecomposable finite-dimensional are classified and located in the Auslander-Reiten quiver.     

Spinor Representations of $${U}_q (\hat {\mathfrak{o}}(N))$$ )

This Letter concerns an extension of the quantum spinor construction of . We define quantum affine Clifford algebras based on the tensor category and the solutions of q-KZ equations, and construct quantum spinor representations of .     

\mathfrak{g}-Relative Star Products

We consider Kontsevich star products on the duals of Lie algebras. Such a star product is relative if, for any Lie algebra, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. Let be a fixed Lie algebra. We shall say that a Kontsevich star product is -relative if, on ^*, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. We prove that, if is a semi-simple Lie algebra, the only strict Kontsevich -relative star products are the relative (for every Lie algebras) Kontsevich star products.     

On the Yangian Y $$(\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}_{m|n} )$$ and its quantum Berezinian

Jonathan Brundan and Alexander Kleshchev recently introduced a new family of presentations for the Yangian Y of the general linear Lie algebra . In this article, we extend some of their ideas to consider the Yangian Y of the Lie superalgebra . In particular, we give a new proof of the result by Nazarov that the quantum Berezinian is central.

Coordinates of the quantum plane as q-tensor operators in (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2)*\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2))

The relation between the set of transformations of the quantum plane and the quantum universal enveloping algebra U _q (u(2)) is investigated by constructing representations of the factor algebra U _q (u(2))* . The noncommuting coordinates of , on which U _q (2) * U _q (2) acts, are realized as q-spinors with respect to each U _q (u(2)) algebra. The representation matrices of U _q (2) are constructed as polynomials in these spinor components. This construction allows a derivation of the commutation relations of the noncommuting coordinates of directly from properties of U _q (u(2)). The generalization of these results to U _q (u(n)) and is also discussed.     

Isomorphism of two realizations of quantum affine algebraU_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}{\text{(}}n{\text{)}}})

We establish an explicit isomorphism between two realizations of the quantum affine algebra given previously by Drinfeld and Reshetikhin-Semenov-Tian-Shansky. Our result can be considered as an affine version of the isomorphism between the Drinfield/Jimbo and the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan constructions of the quantum algebra .     

The Lie algebra $$\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 (\mathbb{F})$$ and quasi-deformations

The Lie algebra is “deformed” using twisted derivations satisfying a twisted Leibniz rule. Some particular algebras appearing in this deformation scheme are discussed.

A quantum dual pair \mathfraks\mathfrakl2 ,\mathfrakon \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 ,\mathfrak{o}_n and the associated Capelli identity

A quantum analogue of the dual pair is introduced in terms of the oscillator representation of U _q . Its commutant and the associated identity of Capelli type are discussed.     

Regular Strongly Typical Blocks of $${\mathcal{O}^{\mathfrak {q}}}$$

We use the technique of Harish-Chandra bimodules to prove that regular strongly typical blocks of the category for the queer Lie superalgebra are equivalent to the corresponding blocks of the category for the Lie algebra .     

Fusion algebra at a rational level and cohomology of nilpotent subalgebras of\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(2)

We define and calculate the fusion algebra of a WZW model at a rational level using cohomological methods. As a byproduct, we obtain a cohomological characterization of admissible representations of ₂.     

Cohomology of $${\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2)$$ Acting on Linear Differential Operators on the Supercircle S1|1

We compute the first cohomology spaces of the Lie superalgebra with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators acting on weighted densities on the supercircle S ^1|1. The structure of these spaces was conjectured in (Gargoubi et al. in Lett Math Phys 79:5165, 2007). In fact, we prove here that the situation is a little bit more complicated.      

Gauss Decomposition of the Yangian $$Y({\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n})$$

We describe a Gauss decomposition for the Yangian of the general linear Lie superalgebra. This gives a connection between this Yangian and the Yangian of the classical Lie superalgebra Y(A(m − 1, n − 1)) (for m ≠ n) defined and studied in papers by Stukopin, and suggests natural definitions for the Yangians and Y(A(n, n)). We also show that the coefficients of the quantum Berezinian generate the centre of the Yangian . This was conjectured by Nazarov in 1991.     

Generalizing the $$\mathfrak {bms}_{3}$$ and 2D-conformal algebras by expanding the Virasoro algebra

By means of the Lie algebra expansion method, the centrally extended conformal algebra in two dimensions and the \(\mathfrak {bms}_{3}\) algebra are obtained from the Virasoro algebra. We extend this result to construct new families of expanded Virasoro algebras that turn out to be infinite-dimensional lifts of the so-called \(\mathfrak {B}_{k}\), \(\mathfrak {C}_{k}\) and \(\mathfrak {D}_{k}\) algebras recently introduced in the literature in the context of (super)gravity. We also show how some of these new infinite-dimensional symmetries can be obtained from expanded Ka?–Moody algebras using modified Sugawara constructions. Applications in the context of three-dimensional gravity are briefly discussed.     

En">Characters and Composition Factor Multiplicities for the Lie Superalgebra $${\mathfrak{g}}{\mathfrak{l}}$$ ( m / n )

The multiplicities a of simple modules L in the composition series of Kac modules V lambda for the Lie superalgebra (m/n ) were described by Serganova, leading to her solution of the character problem for (m/n ). In Serganova's algorithm all with nonzero a are determined for a given this algorithm, turns out to be rather complicated. In this Letter, a simple rule is conjectured to find all nonzero a for any given weight . In particular, we claim that for an r-fold atypical weight there are 2r distinct weights such that a = 1, and a = 0 for all other weights . Some related properties on the multiplicities a are proved, and arguments in favour of our main conjecture are given. Finally, an extension of the conjecture describing the inverse of the matrix of Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials is discussed.     

An $${n = \left( {1,1} \right)}$$ Super-Toda Model Based on OSp $$1|{\kern 1pt} 4$$

We show that a Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras having bosonic simple roots (such as OSp ) does produce supersymmetric Toda models, with superconformal symmetry being nonlinearly realized for those fields of the Toda system which are related to the bosonic simple roots of the superalgebra. A fermionic b-c system of conformal spin is a natural ingredient of such models.     

The Paraboson Fock Space and Unitary Irreducible Representations of the Lie Superalgebra {\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)}

It is known that the defining relations of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra are equivalent to the defining (triple) relations of n pairs of paraboson operators . In particular, with the usual star conditions, this implies that the “parabosons of order p” correspond to a unitary irreducible (infinite-dimensional) lowest weight representation V(p) of . Apart from the simple cases p = 1 or n = 1, these representations had never been constructed due to computational difficulties, despite their importance. In the present paper we give an explicit and elegant construction of these representations V(p), and we present explicit actions or matrix elements of the generators. The orthogonal basis vectors of V(p) are written in terms of Gelfand-Zetlin patterns, where the subalgebra of plays a crucial role. Our results also lead to character formulas for these infinite-dimensional representations. Furthermore, by considering the branching , we find explicit infinite-dimensional unitary irreducible lowest weight representations of and their characters.

Bethe subalgebras in twisted Yangians

We study analogues of the Yangian of the Lie algebra for the other classical Lie algebras and . We call them twisted Yangians. They are coideal subalgebras in the Yangian of and admit homomorphisms onto the universal enveloping algebras U( ) and U( ) respectively. In every twisted Yangian we construct a family of maximal commutative subalgebras parametrized by the regular semisimple elements of the corresponding classical Lie algebra. The images in U( ) and U( ) of these subalgebras are also maximal commutative.     

BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings

Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra corresponding to the Lie group G, let be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to , of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in . We conjecture that describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases, ₂ (the Virasoro string) and ₃ (the string).
