Coinvariants for a coadjoint action of quantum matrices

Let K be a (algebraically closed ) field. A morphism A ⟼ g ⁻¹ Ag, where A ∈ M(n) and g ∈ GL(n), defines an action of a general linear group GL(n) on an n × n-matrix space M(n), referred to as an adjoint action. In correspondence with the adjoint action is the coaction α: K[M(n)] → K[M(n)] ⊗ K[GL(n)] of a Hopf algebra K[GL(n)] on a coordinate algebra K[M(n)] of an n × n-matrix space, dual to the conjugation morphism. Such is called an adjoint coaction. We give coinvariants of an adjoint coaction for the case where K is a field of arbitrary characteristic and one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) q is not a root of unity; (2) char K = 0 and q = ±1; (3) q is a primitive root of unity of odd degree. Also it is shown that under the conditions specified, the category of rational GL _q × GL _q -modules is a highest weight category.     

Score Lists in Tripartite Hypertournaments

Given non-negative integers l, m, n, α, β and γ with l ≥ α ≥ 1, m ≥ β ≥ 1 and n ≥ γ ≥ 1, an [α,β,γ]-tripartite hypertournament on l + m + n vertices is a four tuple (U, V, W, E), where U, V and W are three sets of vertices with |U| = l , |V| = m and |W| = n, and E is a set of (α + β + γ)-tuples of vertices, called arcs, with exactly α vertices from U, exactly β vertices from V,and exactly γ vertices from W, such that any subset U₁∪ V₁∪ W₁ of U∪ V∪ W, E contains exactly one of the (α + β + γ)! (α + β + γ) − tuples whose entries belong to U₁∪ V₁∪ W₁. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for three lists of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order to be the losing score lists or score lists of some [α, β, γ]-tripartite hypertournament.

Factorization of the r-matrix for the quantum algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">Uq</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">sl</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>)

We propose a method for construction of the general solution of the Yang–Baxter equation with the U _q (sℓ _n ) symmetry algebra. This method is based on the factorization property of the corresponding L-operator. We present a closed-form expression for the universal R-matrix in the form of a difference operator acting on the space of functions of n(n − 1) variables. Bibliography: 16 titles.     

The moduli space of (3,3,3) trilinear forms

LetU, V andW be three dimensional vector spaces over ∉ (or an alebraically closed field with characteristic not equal to 2 or 3). We prove that the moduli space of trilinear forms onU ^* ⊗V ^* ⊗W ^* is isomorphic to ℙ² by applying Geometric Invariant Theory to the action ofPGL(U)×PGL(V)×PGL(W) on ℙU⊗V⊗W).     

SCORE LISTS IN （h, k）-BIPARTITE HYPERTOURNAMENTS

Given non-negative integers m,n,h and k with m ≥ h ＞ 1 and n ≥ k ＞ 1, an (h, k)-bipartite hypertournament on m n vertices is a triple (U, V, A), where U and V are two sets of vertices with |U| = m and |V| = n, and A is a set of (h k)-tuples of vertices,called arcs, with at most h vertices from U and at most k vertices from V, such that for any h k subsets U1 ∪ V1 of U ∪ V, A contains exactly one of the (h k)! (h k)-tuples whose entries belong to U1 ∪ V1. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of non-decreasing sequences of non-negative integers to be the losing score lists or score lists of some(h, k)-bipartite hypertournament are obtained.     

Central extensions of generalized orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras

We completely determine the universal central extension of the generalized orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra osp _m|2n (R,-) that is coordinatized by an arbitrary unital associative superalgebra (R,-) with superinvolution. As a result, an identification between the second homology group of the Lie superalgebra osp _m|2n (R,-) and the first skew-dihedral homology group of the associative superalgebra (R,-) with superinvolution is created for positive integers m and n with (m,n) ≠ (1,1) and (m, n) ≠ (2,1). The second homology groups of the Lie superalgebras osp_1|2(R,-) and osp_2|2(R,-) are also characterized explicitly.     

Deformation of certain quadratic algebras and the corresponding quantum semigroups

LetV be a finite-dimensional vector space. Given a decompositionV⊗V=⊕ _i=1,…n I _i , definen quadratic algebrasQ(V, J _(m)) whereJ _(m)=⊕ _i≠m I _i . There is also a quantum semigroupM(V; I ₁, …,I _n ) which acts on all these quadratic algebras. The decomposition determines as well a family of associative subalgebras of End (V ^⊗k ), which we denote byA _k =A _k (I ₁,…,I _n ),k≥2. In the classical case, whenV⊗V decomposes into the symmetric and skewsymmetric tensors,A _k coincides with the image of the representation of the group algebra of the symmetric groupS _k in End(V ^⊗k ). LetI _i,h be deformations of the subspacesI _i . In this paper we give a criteria for flatness of the corresponding deformations of the quadratic algebrasQ(V, J _(m),h ) and the quantum semigroupM(V;I _1,h ,…,I _n,h ). It says that the deformations will be flat if the algebrasA _k (I ₁, …,I _n ) are semisimple and under the deformation their dimension does not change. Usually, the decomposition intoI _i is defined by a given semisimple operatorS onV⊗V, for whichI _i are its eigensubspaces, and the deformationsI _i,h are defined by a deformationS _h ofS. We consider the cases whenS _h is a deformation of Hecke or Birman-Wenzl symmetry, and also the case whenS _h is the Yang-Baxter operator which appears by a representation of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group. Applying the flatness criteria we prove that in all these cases we obtain flat deformations of the quadratic algebras and the corresponding quantum semigroups.

Gaussian partitions

Let V=V(n,q) denote the finite vector space of dimension n over the finite field with q elements. A subspace partition of V is a collection Π of subspaces of V such that each 1-dimensional subspace of V is in exactly one subspace of Π. In a recent paper, we proved some strong connections between the lattice of the subspace partitions of V and the lattice of the set partitions of n={1,…,n}. We now define a Gaussian partition of [n] _q =(q ⁿ −1)/(q−1) to be a nonincreasing sequence of positive integers formed by ordering all elements of some multiset {dim(W):W∈Π}, where Π is a subspace partition of V. The Gaussian partition function gp(n,q) is then the number of all Gaussian partitions of [n] _q , and is naturally analogous to the classical partition function p(n). In this paper, we initiate the study of gp(n,q) by exhibiting all Gaussian partitions for small n. In particular, we determine gp(n,q) as a polynomial in q for n≤5, and find a lower bound for gp(6,q).     

Orthosymplectic Quantum Function Superalgebras OSPq（2l＋ 1｜2n）

By the R-matrix of orthosymplectic quantum superalgebra U _q (osp(2l+1|2n)) in the vector representation, we establish the corresponding quantum Hopf superalgebra OSP _q (2l + 1|2n). Furthermore, it is shown that OSP _q (2l + 1|2n) is coquasitriangular.     

The real spectrum of an ideal and KO-theory exact sequences

A construction in abstract real algebra is used to define invariants S _n(A) of commutative rings, with or without identity. If A=C(X) is the ring of continuous real functions on a compact space, then S _n(A) = k0^–n(X), and, for any A, S _n(A) Z[1/2]-W _n(A) Z[1/2], where the W _n(A) are the Witt groups of A. In addition, a short exact sequence of rings yields a long exact sequence of the groups S _n. The functors S _n(A) thus provide a solution of a problem proposed by Karoubi. This paper primarily deals with the exact sequences involving a ring A and an ideal I A. Work supported in part by NSF Grant DMS85-06816.     

An extension of the Erdős-Szekeres theorem on large angles

The existence of a functionn(ε) (ε>0) is established such that given a finite setV in the plane there exists a subsetW⊆V, |W|<n(ε) with the property that for anyv εV\ W there are two pointsw ₁,w ₂ εW such that the angle ∢(w ₁ vw ₂)>π-ε.     

Large deviation for the empirical eigenvalue density of truncated Haar unitary matrices

Let U_m be an m×m Haar unitary matrix and U_[m,n] be its n×n truncation. In this paper the large deviation is proven for the empirical eigenvalue density of U_[m,n] as m/n→λ and n→∞. The rate function and the limit distribution are given explicitly. U_[m,n] is the random matrix model of quq, where u is a Haar unitary in a finite von Neumann algebra, q is a certain projection and they are free. The limit distribution coincides with the Brown measure of the operator quq.     

Quantum Schur superalgebras and Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics

We introduce the notion of quantum Schur (or q-Schur) superalgebras. These algebras share certain nice properties with q-Schur algebras such as the base change property, the existence of canonical Z[v,v⁻¹]-bases, the duality relation with Manin’s quantum matrix superalgebra A(m|n), and the bridging role between quantum enveloping superalgebras of gl(m|n) and the Hecke algebras of type A. We also construct a cellular -basis and determine its associated cells, called supercells, in terms of a Robinson-Schensted-Knuth supercorrespondence. In this way, we classify all irreducible representations over via supercell modules.     

Sur les fonctions entièresq-arithmétiques

Letq ɛ Z, |q|>1. In this paper, we study entire functions of a complex variable such thatf(q ^n+m)≡f(qⁿ) (modq ^m-1), ∀n ɛ N andm>0. We prove that iff is of sufficiently small growth, then it is a polynomial.      

Irreducible holonomy algebras of Riemannian supermanifolds

Possible irreducible holonomy algebras \mathfrakg ì \mathfrakosp(p, q|2m){\mathfrak{g}\subset\mathfrak{osp}(p, q|2m)} of Riemannian supermanifolds under the assumption that \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is a direct sum of simple Lie superalgebras of classical type and possibly of a 1-dimensional center are classified. This generalizes the classical result of Marcel Berger about the classification of irreducible holonomy algebras of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.     

Fast formula of a reliability ofm-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system with cyclek

Anm-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system is a system ofn linearly arranged components which fails if and only if at leastm non-overlapping sequences ofk components fail, when there arek distinct components with failure probabilitiesq _i fori=1,...,k and where the failure probability of thej-th component (j=rk+i (1 ≤i ≤k) isq _j =q _i , we call this system by anm-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system with cycle (or period)k. In this paper we give a formula of the failure probability ofm-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system with cyclek via the failure probability of consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system.     

The quantum general linear supergroup,canonical bases and Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials

Canonical bases of the tensor powers of the natural -module V are constructed by adapting the work of Frenkel, Khovanov and Kirrilov to the quantum supergroup setting. This result is generalized in several directions. We first construct the canonical bases of the ℤ₂-graded symmetric algebra of V and tensor powers of this superalgebra; then construct canonical bases for the superalgebra O _q (M _m|n ) of a quantum (m,n) × (m,n)-supermatrix; and finally deduce from the latter result the canonical basis of every irreducible tensor module for by applying a quantum analogue of the Borel-Weil construction.
