A note on <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Bernstein polynomials

Recently, Simsek-Acikgoz [17] and Kim-Jang-Yi [9] have studied the q-extension of Bernstein polynomials. In the present paper, we suggest q-extensions of Bernstein polynomials of degree n which differ from the q-Bernstein polynomials of Simsek-Acikgoz [17] and Kim-Jang-Yi [9]. Using these q-Bernstein polynomials, we derive fermionic p-adic integral representations of several q-Bernstein-type polynomials. Finally, we investigate identities between q-Bernstein polynomials and q-Euler numbers.     

Multiple two-variable <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">q-L</Emphasis>-function and its behavior at <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis> = 0

The objective of this paper is to construct a multiple p-adic q-L-function of two variables which interpolates multiple generalized q-Bernoulli polynomials. By using this function, we solve a question of Kim and Cho. We also define a multiple partial q-zeta function which is related to the multiple q-L-function of two variables. Finally, we give a finite-sum representation of the multiple p-adic q-L-function of two variables and prove a multiple q-extension of the generalized formula of Diamond and Ferrero-Greenberg.     

New approach to <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Euler polynomials of higher order

In this paper, we present new generating functions related to q-Euler numbers and polynomials of higher order. Using those generating functions, we present new identities involving q-Euler numbers and polynomials of higher order.     

Polynomial Realization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>l<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(2) and Fusion Rules at Exceptional Values of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>

Representations of the sℓ_q(2) algebra are constructed in the space of polynomials of real (complex) variable for q^N=1. The spin addition rule based on eigenvalues of Casimir operator is illustrated on few simplest cases and conjecture for general case is formulated.     

On the multiple <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Genocchi and Euler numbers

The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic study of some families of multiple q-Genocchi and Euler numbers by using the multivariate q-Volkenborn integral (= p-adic q-integral) on ℤ _p . The investigation of these q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials of higher order leads to interesting identities related to these objects. The results of the present paper cover earlier results concerning ordinary q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials.

Perturbation foundation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-deformed dynamics

In the q-deformed theory the perturbation approach can be expressed in terms of two pairs of undeformed position and momentum operators. There are two configuration spaces. Correspondingly there are two q-perturbation Hamiltonians; one originates from the perturbation expansion of the potential in one configuration space, the other one originates from the perturbation expansion of the kinetic energy in another configuration space. In order to establish a general foundation of the q-perturbation theory, two perturbation equivalence theorems are proved. The first is Equivalence Theorem I: Perturbation expressions of the q-deformed uncertainty relations calculated by two pairs of undeformed operators are the same, and the two q-deformed uncertainty relations undercut Heisenberg's minimal one in the same style. The general Equivalence Theorem II is: for any potential (regular or singular) the expectation values of two q-perturbation Hamiltonians in the eigenstates of the undeformed Hamiltonian are equivalent to all orders of the perturbation expansion. As an example of singular potentials the perturbation energy spectra of the q-deformed Coulomb potential are studied.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>) Cosmology from <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-theory

From a macroscopic theory of the quantum vacuum in terms of conserved relativistic charges (generically denoted by q ^(a) with label a), we have obtained, in the low-energy limit, a particular type of f(R) model relevant to cosmology. The macroscopic quantum-vacuum theory allows us to distinguish between different phenomenological f(R) models on physical grounds. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Lifting <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-difference operators for Askey-Wilson polynomials and their weight function

We determine an explicit form of a q-difference operator that transforms the continuous q-Hermite polynomials H _n (x|q) of Rogers into the Askey-Wilson polynomials p _n (x; a, b, c, d|q) on the top level in the Askey q-scheme. This operator represents a special convolution-type product of four one-parameter q-difference operators of the form ɛ _q (c _q D _q ) (where c _q are some constants), defined as Exton’s q-exponential function ɛ _q (z) in terms of the Askey-Wilson divided q-difference operator D _q . We also determine another q-difference operator that lifts the orthogonality weight function for the continuous q-Hermite polynomialsH _n (x|q) up to the weight function, associated with the Askey-Wilson polynomials p _n (x; a, b, c, d|q).     

Tsallis <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-deformed Touchard polynomials and Stirling numbers

In this paper, we develop and investigate a new two-parametrized deformation of the Touchard polynomials, based on the definition of the NEXT q-exponential function of Tsallis. We obtain new generalizations of the Stirling numbers of the second kind and of the binomial coefficients and represent two new statistics for the set partitions.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Integration on quantum spaces

In this article we present explicit formulae for q-integration on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e., q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions. Furthermore, our formulae can be regarded as a generalization of Jacksons q-integral to three or four dimensions and provide a new possibility for an integration over the whole space being invariant under translations and rotations.Received: 9 September 2003, Published online: 26 November 2003     

Hypercontractivity on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Araki-Woods Algebras

Extending a work of Carlen and Lieb, Biane has obtained the optimal hypercontractivity of the q-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the q-deformation of the free group algebra. In this note, we look for an extension of this result to the type III situation, that is for the q-Araki-Woods algebras. We show that hypercontractivity from L ^p to L ² can occur if and only if the generator of the deformation is bounded.     

Exactness of the Fock Space Representation of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Commutation Relations

We show that for all q in the interval (−1, 1), the Fock representation of the q-commutation relations can be unitarily embedded into the Fock representation of the extended Cuntz algebra. In particular, this implies that the C*-algebra generated by the Fock representation of the q-commutation relations is exact. An immediate consequence is that the q-Gaussian von Neumann algebra is weakly exact for all q in the interval (−1, 1).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Exponentials on quantum spaces

We present explicit formulae for q-exponentials on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e. the q-deformed Minkowski space and the q-deformed Euclidean space with two, three or four dimensions. Furthermore, these formulae can be viewed as 2-, 3- or 4-dimensional analogues of the well-known q-exponential function.Received: 21 January 2004, Revised: 19 May 2004, Published online: 7 September 2004     

Some Quantum Gate Operators for Continuum Variables in <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Deformed Coordinate Representation

By virtue of deformation quantization methods we introduce the q-deformed coordinate representation. A new set of completeness and orthogonality relations composed of the ket and bra which are not mutually Hermitian conjugates are derived. Further, using the eigenket and eigenbra for q-deformed coordinate some important quantum gate operators for continuum variables are realized and their properties are discussed.     

Degenerate <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>-Stirling Numbers and <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>-Bell Polynomials

The purpose of this paper is to exploit umbral calculus in order to derive some properties, recurrence relations, and identities related to the degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind and the degenerate r-Bell polynomials. Especially, we will express the degenerate r-Bell polynomials as linear combinations of many well-known families of special polynomials.     

Exact Results for Topological Strings on Resolved <Emphasis Type="Italic">Y</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic"> p</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript> Singularities

We obtain exact results in α′ for open and closed A-model topological string amplitudes on a large class of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds by using their correspondence with five dimensional gauge theories. The toric Calabi-Yaus that we analyze are obtained as minimal resolution of cones over Y ^p,q manifolds and give rise via M-theory compactification to SU(p) gauge theories on . As an application we present a detailed study of the local case and compute open and closed genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of the orbifold. We also display the modular structure of the topological wave function and give predictions for higher genus amplitudes. The mirror curve in this case is the spectral curve of the relativistic A ₁ Toda chain. Our results also indicate the existence of a wider class of relativistic integrable systems associated to generic Y ^p,q geometries.     

Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Onsager Algebras and Boundary Affine Toda Field Theories

Generalizations of the q-Onsager algebra are introduced and studied. In one of the simplest case and q = 1, the algebra reduces to the one proposed by Uglov–Ivanov. In the general case and q ≠ 1, an explicit algebra homomorphism associated with coideal subalgebras of quantum affine Lie algebras (simply and non-simply laced) is exhibited. Boundary (soliton non-preserving) integrable quantum Toda field theories are then considered in light of these results. For the first time, all defining relations for the underlying non-Abelian symmetry algebra are explicitly obtained. As a consequence, based on purely algebraic arguments all integrable (fixed or dynamical) boundary conditions are classified.     

Free <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-deformed relativistic wave equations by representation theory

In a representation theoretic approach a free q-relativistic wave equation must have the property that the space of solutions is an irreducible representation of the q-Poincaré algebra. It is shown how this requirement uniquely determines the q-wave equations. As examples, the q-Dirac equation (including q-gamma matrices which satisfy a q-Clifford algebra), the q-Weyl equations, and the q-Maxwell equations are computed explicitly.Received: 8 May 2002, Revised: 14 July 2003, Published online: 29 August 2003     

Thermal Radiation Laws of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-deformed Boson System in <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> Dimensions

Within the theoretical framework of multidimensional space and q bosons, we generalize our hypothesis of regarding the CMBR as the radiation of q bosons, and investigate the thermal radiation laws of a q boson system in m dimensions. Utilizing the new radiation laws, we make a numerical calculation and the results show that these new laws have some special features. We consider that this work may provide more insight into the theory of q bosons and the study on the CMBR.
