Quantum deformedsu(m/n) algebra and superconformal algebra on quantum superspace

We study a deformedsu(m/n) algebra on a quantum superspace. Some interesting aspects of the deformed algebra are shown. As an application of the deformed algebra we construct a deformed superconformal algebra. From the deformedsu(1/4) algebra, we derive deformed Lorentz, translation of Minkowski space,iso(2, 2) and its supersymmetric algebras as closed subalgebras with consistent automorphisms.     

q-deformed conformal and Poincaré algebras on quantum 4-spinors

We investigate quantum deformation of conformal algebras by constructing the quantum space forsl _q (4). The differential calculus on the quantum space and the action of the quantum generators are studied. We derive deformedsu(2,2) algebra from the deformedsl(4) algebra using the quantum 4-spinor and its conjugate spinor. The quantum 6-vector inso _q (4,2) is constructed as a tensor product of two sets of 4-spinors. We obtain theq-deformed conformal algebra with the suitable assignment of the generators which satisfy the reality condition. The deformed Poincaré algebra is derived through a contraction procedure.Work partially supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (#030083)     

Anyons,deformed oscillator algebras and projectors

We initiate an algebraic approach to the many-anyon problem based on deformed oscillator algebras. The formalism utilizes a generalization of the deformed Heisenberg algebras underlying the operator solution of the Calogero problem. We define a many-body Hamiltonian and an angular momentum operator which are relevant for a linearized analysis in the statistical parameter ν. There exists a unique ground state and, in spite of the presence of defect lines, the anyonic weight lattices are completely connected by the application of the oscillators of the algebra. This is achieved by supplementing the oscillator algebra with a certain projector algebra.     

The quantum harmonic oscillator on a circle and a deformed Heisenberg algebra

We show that the Heisenberg-type algebra describing the first levels of the quantum harmonic oscillator on a circle of large length L is a deformed Heisenberg algebra. The successive energy levels of this quantum harmonic oscillator on a circle of large length L are interpreted, similarly to the standard quantum one-dimensional harmonic oscillator on an infinite line, as being obtained by the creation of a quantum particle of frequency w at very high energies.

Deformed Heisenberg algebras, a Fock-space representation and the Calogero model

We describe generally deformed Heisenberg algebras in one dimension. The condition for a generalized Leibniz rule is obtained and solved. We analyze conditions under which deformed quantum-mechanical problems have a Fock-space representation. One solution of these conditions leads to a q-deformed oscillator already studied by Lorek et al., and reduces to the harmonic oscillator only in the infinite-momentum frame. The other solution leads to the Calogero model in ordinary quantum mechanics, but reduces to the harmonic oscillator in the absence of deformation.

Multi-parameter deformed fermionic oscillators

In this paper, we study a quantum group covariant deformed fermion algebra. This system can be formulated in n dimensions and posesses two deformation parameters. The undeformed fermion algebra is obtained when both deformation parameters are unity. When both parameters are zero the deformed fermionic oscillator algebra reduces to the orthofermion algebra. If the quantum group symmetry is not preserved, then the number of parameters in n dimensions can be increased to 2n-2.

The ⋆-value equation and Wigner distributions in noncommutative Heisenberg algebras

We consider the quantum mechanical equivalence of the Seiberg-Witten map in the context of the Weyl-Wigner-Groenewold-Moyal phase-space formalism in order to construct a quantum mechanics over noncommutative Heisenberg algebras. The formalism is then applied to the exactly soluble Landau and harmonic oscillator problems in the 2-dimensional noncommutative phase-space plane, in order to derive their correct energy spectra and corresponding Wigner distributions. We compare our results with others that have previously appeared in the literature.Dedicated to Mike Ryan on his sixtieth birthday, who as a scientist always understood that it is nice to be good, but that it is better to be nice.     

On a class of nonstandard quantum algebras and their representations

The nonstandardU _z sl(2, IR) quantum algebra is considered together with other nonstandard algebras sharing the same universalR-matrix as well as a fixed Hopf subalgebra. Some boson realizations for these nonstandard algebras are obtained which are later used in order to compute in a simplified way their (finite and infinite dimensional) representations. In the limit when the deformation parameterz vanishes these realizations turn into the well known (one or two-boson) Gelfand-Dyson realizations for the corresponding classical Lie algebras.     

New algebraic structures in the Cλ-extended Hamiltonian system

A realization of various algebraic structures in terms of the C_λ-extended oscillator algebras is introduced. In particular, the C_λ-extended oscillator algebras realization of the Fairlie–Fletcher–Zachos (FFZ) algebra is given. This latter lead easily to the realization of the quantum U_t(sl(2)) algebra. The new deformed Virasoro algebra is also presented.     

Non-hermitian quantum mechanics in non-commutative space

A recent investigation of the possibility of having a -symmetric periodic potential in an optical lattice stimulated the urge to generalize non-hermitian quantum mechanics beyond the case of commutative space. We thus study non-hermitian quantum systems in non-commutative space as well as a -symmetric deformation of this space. Specifically, a -symmetric harmonic oscillator together with an iC(x ₁+x ₂) interaction are discussed in this space, and solutions are obtained. We show that in the deformed non-commutative space the Hamiltonian may or may not possess real eigenvalues, depending on the choice of the non-commutative parameters. However, it is shown that in standard non-commutative space, the iC(x ₁+x ₂) interaction generates only real eigenvalues despite the fact that the Hamiltonian is not -symmetric. A complex interacting anisotropic oscillator system also is discussed.     

SU(1, 1) and SU(2) Perelomov number coherent states: algebraic approach for general systems

We study some properties of the SU(1, 1) Perelomov number coherent states. The Schrödinger's uncertainty relationship is evaluated for a position and momentum-like operators (constructed from the Lie algebra generators) in these number coherent states. It is shown that this relationship is minimized for the standard coherent states. We obtain the time evolution of the number coherent states by supposing that the Hamiltonian is proportional to the third generator K₀ of the su(1, 1) Lie algebra. Analogous results for the SU(2) Perelomov number coherent states are found. As examples, we compute the Perelomov coherent states for the pseudoharmonic oscillator and the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator.     

Deformed coherent and squeezed states of multiparticle processes

Deformed squeezed states are introduced as the q-analogues of the conventional undeformed harmonic oscillator algebra squeezed states. It is shown that the boundary vectors in the matrix-product states approach to multiparticle diffusion processes are deformed coherent or squeezed states of a deformed harmonic oscillator algebra. A deformed squeezed and coherent-states solution to the n-species stochastic diffusion boundary problem is proposed and studied.Received: 31 January 2003, Published online: 10 October 2003     

Reducibility of supersymmetric quantum mechanics

We constructdeformed annihilation and creation, operators of the harmonic oscillator context in terms of the parity operator and realize, in that way the superalgebrasqm(2) of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Moreover, this specific example is related to the physical application known as the Calogero problem. The reducibility, of supersymmetric quantum mechanics is then established for arbitraryodd superpotentials, but not for even ones. We also get (minimal) dynamical algebras in both cases, shedding new light on such physical quantities as the Runge-Lenz vector.     

SUSY QM, symmetries and spectrum generating algebras for two-dimensional systems

We show in a systematic and clear way how factorization methods can be used to construct the generators for hidden and dynamical symmetries. This is shown by studying the 2D problems of hydrogen atom, the isotropic harmonic oscillator and the radial potential Aρ^2ζ−2 − Bρ^ζ−2. We show that in these cases the non-compact (compact) algebra corresponds to so(2, 1) (su(2)).     

Polynomial Lie algebras in solving a class of integrable models of quantum optics: exact methods and quasiclassics

A wide class of integrable quantum-optical models with G _i-invariant Hamiltonians H is described in the form when H are linear functions in generators of the polynomial Lie algebras su _pd(2) and Hilbert spaces L(H) of quantum states are decomposed in direct sums of su _pd(2)-irreducible subspaces. This yields exact and approximate methods of solving physical problems as well as new (su _pd(2)-cluster) quasiclassics in original models.     

Decoupling braided tensor factors

We briefly report on our result that the braided tensor product algebra of two module algebras A ₁, A ₂ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H is equal to the ordinary tensor product algebra of A ₁ with a subalgebra isomorphic to A ₂ and commuting with A ₁, provided there exists a realization of H within A ₁. As applications of the theorem, we consider the braided tensor product algebras of two or more quantum group covariant quantum spaces or deformed Heisenberg algebras.     

Models for the 3D singular isotropic oscillator quadratic algebra

We give the first explicit construction of the quadratic algebra for a 3D quantum superintegrable system with nondegenerate (4-parameter) potential together with realizations of irreducible representations of the quadratic algebra in terms of differential—differential or differential—difference and difference—difference operators in two variables. The example is the singular isotropic oscillator. We point out that the quantum models arise naturally from models of the Poisson algebras for the corresponding classical superintegrable system. These techniques extend to quadratic algebras for superintegrable systems in n dimensions and are closely related to Hecke algebras and multivariable orthogonal polynomials.     

Degenerate Sklyanin algebras

New trigonometric and rational solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (QYBE) are obtained by applying some singular gauge transformations to the known Belavin-Drinfeld elliptic R-matrix for sl(2;?). These solutions are shown to be related to the standard ones by the quasi-Hopf twist. We demonstrate that the quantum algebras arising from these new R-matrices can be obtained as special limits of the Sklyanin algebra. A representation for these algebras by the difference operators is found. The sl(N;?)-case is discussed.     

New realizations of Lie algebra kappa-deformed Euclidean space

We study Lie algebra κ-deformed Euclidean space with undeformed rotation algebra SO_a(n) and commuting vectorlike derivatives. Infinitely many realizations in terms of commuting coordinates are constructed and a corresponding star product is found for each of them. The κ-deformed noncommutative space of the Lie algebra type with undeformed Poincaré algebra and with the corresponding deformed coalgebra is constructed in a unified way.
