Representation theory of osp(1,2) q

We investigate the representations of the osp(1, 2) _q algebra. We derive all the finite-dimensional irreducible representations, whenq is not a root of unity. We also discuss the connection between those of osp(1, 2) _q and sl(2) _q .     

A q-deformation of the Bogoliubov transformations

An approach for q-deformed Bogoliubov transformations is presented. Assuming a left-right module action together with an ?-operation and deformed commutation relations, we construct a q-deformation of the nonlinear Bogoliubov transformation. Finally, we introduce a Hopf structure when q is a root of unity.     

Spin physics with internal targets and the blast detector

The aim of this paper is to give a set of central elements of the algebras U_q(so_m) and U _q(iso _m ) when q is a root of unity. They are surprisingly arise from a single polynomial Casimir element of the algebra U_q(so₃). It is conjectured that the Casimir elements of these algebras under any values of q (not only for q a root of unity) and the central elements for q a root of unity derived in this paper generate the centers of U_q(so_m) and U _q(iso _m ) when q is a root of unity.     

Propagator for the Chebyshev q object

We propose an alternative role of the harmonic oscillator algebra. Observing that the q-deformed harmonic oscillator algebra defines the Chebyshev q object, we show that the q-free particle and the pulsed oscillator are special cases of the Chebyshev q object, characterized by a common deformation parameter q and reduced to a usual free particle as q tends to unity. For the deformed free particle, q is a real number, whereas for the pulsed oscillator it belongs to S ¹. Then, we derive the propagator for the Chebyshev q object, from which we obtain the propagators for the deformed free particle and the pulsed oscillator.     

Decomposition of the step operators of theλ √q (n)-covariant oscillator algebra withq as a root of unity

In this paper the decomposition of the creation and annihilation operators ofgl _√q (n)-covariant oscillator algebra is discussed when the deformation parameterq is a (s+1)-th primitive root of unity.     

THE ADJOINT REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM ALGEBRA Uq(sl(2))

Starting from any representation of the Lie algebra on the finite dimensional vector space V we can construct the representation on the space Aut(V). These representations are of the type of ad. That is one of the reasons, why it is important to study the adjoint representation of the Lie algebra on the universal enveloping algebra U(). A similar situation is for the quantum groups U_q(). In this paper, we study the adjoint representation for the simplest quantum algebra U_q(sl(2)) in the case that q is not a root of unity.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>-Deformed Boson Algebra Related to Gentile Statistics

In this paper the deformed boson algebra giving the Gentile distribution function is constructed by using the model of ideal gas of deformed bosons and some properties of a root of unity. As an example we discuss the quantum optical problem related to the Gentile (or f-deformed) boson algebra with large but finite M. For this algebra we construct the Gentile (or f-deformed) coherent state and discuss its nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian statistics and anti-bunching effect.     

Classification of representations of the algebra U′q(so 3) through examples II

This paper completes series of articles devoted to classification of the representations of the nonstandard deformation U′_q(so ₃) providing examples of such representations in low dimensions. The classification differs substantially when the deformation parameter q is/is not root of unity (q ⁿ=1). When it is a root of unity, the situation differs for odd and even n. The examples presented here cover the first nontrivial case when n is even (namely, n=4), from which the general case follows easily.     

Quantum group invariant integrable n-state models with periodic boundary conditions

Using the methods of topological quantum field theory we construct aU _q [sl(n)] invariant integrable transfer matrix for the case ofq being a root of unity. It corresponds to a 2-dimensional vertex model on a torus with topological interaction w.r.t. its interior. By means of the nested Bethe ansatz method we analyse conformai properties and discuss the representational content of the Bethe ansatz solutions.     

q-Ultraspherical polynomials for q a root of unity

Properties of the q-ultraspherical polynomials for q being a primitive root of unity, are derived using a formalism of the so _q (3) algebra. The orthogonality condition for these polynomials provides a new class of trigonometric identities representing discrete finite-dimensional analogues of q-beta integrals of Ramanujan.     

Irreducibility and Compositeness in q-Deformed Harmonic Oscillator Algebras

A study of the reducibility of the Fock space representation of the q-deformed harmonic oscillator algebra for real and root of unity values of the deformation parameter is carried out by using the properties of the Gauss polynomials. When the deformation parameter is a root of unity, an interesting result comes out in the form of a reducibility scheme for the space representation which is based on the classification of the primitive or nonprimitive character of the deformation parameter. An application is carried out for a q-deformed harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian, to which the reducibility scheme is explicitly applied.On leave from     

Noncompact <Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis><Subscript>q</Subscript>(2, 1) quantum algebra: Discrete series of highest weight irreducible representations

The structure of unitary irreducible representations of the noncompact u_q(2, 1) quantum algebra that are related to a negative discrete series is examined. With the aid of projection operators for the su_q(2) subalgebra, a q analog of the Gelfand-Graev formulas is derived in the basis corresponding to the reduction u_q(2, 1) → su_q(2)×u(1). Projection operators for the su_q(1, 1) subalgebra are employed to study the same representations for the reduction u_q(2, 1) → u(1)×su_q(1, 1). The matrix elements of the generators of the u_q(2, 1) algebra are computed in this new basis. A general analytic expression for an element of the transformation brackets <U∣T>_q between the bases associated with the above two reductions (the elements of this matrix are referred to as q Weyl coefficients) is obtained for a general case where the deformation parameter q is not equal to a root of unity. It is shown explicitly that, apart from a phase, the q Weyl coefficients coincide with the q Racah coefficients for the su_q(2) quantum algebra.     

On Endomorphisms of Quantum Tensor Space

We give a presentation of the endomorphism algebra ${\rm End}_{\mathcal {U}_{q}(\mathfrak {sl}_{2})}(V^{\otimes r})$ , where V is the three-dimensional irreducible module for quantum ${\mathfrak {sl}_2}$ over the function field ${\mathbb {C}(q^{\frac{1}{2}})}$ . This will be as a quotient of the Birman–Wenzl–Murakami algebra BMW _r (q) : =  BMW _r (q ^?4, q ² ? q ^?2) by an ideal generated by a single idempotent Φ _q . Our presentation is in analogy with the case where V is replaced by the two-dimensional irreducible ${\mathcal {U}_q(\mathfrak {sl}_{2})}$ -module, the BMW algebra is replaced by the Hecke algebra H _r (q) of type A _r-1, Φ _q is replaced by the quantum alternator in H ₃(q), and the endomorphism algebra is the classical realisation of the Temperley–Lieb algebra on tensor space. In particular, we show that all relations among the endomorphisms defined by the R-matrices on ${V^{\otimes r}}$ are consequences of relations among the three R-matrices acting on ${V^{\otimes 4}}$ . The proof makes extensive use of the theory of cellular algebras. Potential applications include the decomposition of tensor powers when q is a root of unity.     

New boson representations of the sl q (2) with multiplicity two and new solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation atq p =1

Whenq is a root of unity, the representations of the quantum universal enveloping algebra sl _q (2) with multiplicity two are constructed from theq-deformed boson realization with an arbitrary parameter which is in a very general form and is first presented in this Letter. The new solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation are obtained from these representations through the universalR-matrix.This work is supported in part by the National Foundation of Natural Science of China.     

Exchange Dynamical Quantum Groups

For any simple Lie algebra ? and any complex number q which is not zero or a nontrivial root of unity, %but may be equal to 1 we construct a dynamical quantum group (Hopf algebroid), whose representation theory is essentially the same as the representation theory of the quantum group U _q (?). This dynamical quantum group is obtained from the fusion and exchange relations between intertwining operators in representation theory of U _q (?), and is an algebraic structure standing behind these relations.

Representations of the cyclically symmetric q-deformed algebra U q(so3)

An algebra homomorphism from the nonstandard q-deformed (cyclically symmetric) algebra U _q(so₃) to the extension Û _q(sl₂) of the Hopf algebra U _q(sl₂) is constructed. Not all irreducible representations (IR) of U _q(sl₂) can be extended to representations of Û _q(sl₂). Composing the homomorphism with irreducible representations of Û _q(sl₂) we obtain representations of U _q(so₃). Not all of these representations of U _q(so₃) are irreducible. Reducible representations of U _q(so₃) are decomposed into irreducible components. In this way we obtain all IR of U _q(so₃) when q is not a root of unity. A part of these representations turn into IR of the Lie algebra so₃ when q 1.     

Self-similar potentials and theq-oscillator algebra at roots of unity

Properties of the simplest class of self-similar potentials are analyzed. Wave functions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation provide bases of representations of theq-deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra. When the parameterq is a root of unity, the functional form of the potentials can be found explicitly. The generalq ³ = 1 and the particularq ⁴ = 1 potentials are given by the equi-anharmonic and (pseudo) lemniscatic Weierstrass functions, respectively.     

2d–4d connection between q-Virasoro/W block at root of unity limit and instanton partition function on ALE space

We propose and demonstrate a limiting procedure in which, starting from the q-lifted version (or K-theoretic five-dimensional version) of the (W)AGT conjecture to be assumed in this paper, the Virasoro/W block is generated in the r-th root of unity limit in q   in the 2d side, while the same limit automatically generates the projection of the five-dimensional instanton partition function onto that on the ALE space R⁴/_Zr${\mathbb{R}}^4/{\mathbb{Z}}_r$. This circumvents case-by-case conjectures to be made in a wealth of examples found so far. In the 2d side, we successfully generate the super-Virasoro algebra and the proper screening charge in the q→−1$q\to -1$, t→−1$t\to -1$ limit, from the defining relation of the q-Virasoro algebra and the q  -deformed Heisenberg algebra. The central charge obtained coincides with that of the minimal series carrying odd integers of the N=1$N=1$ superconformal algebra. In the r-th root of unity limit in q in the 2d side, we give some evidence of the appearance of the parafermion-like currents. Exploiting the q-analysis literatures, q  -deformed su(n)$\mathit{su}(n)$ block is readily generated both at generic q,t$q,t$ and the r  -th root of unity limit. In the 4d side, we derive the proper normalization function for general (n,r)$(n,r)$ that accomplishes the automatic projection through the limit.     

The centre of a quantum affine algebra at a root of unity

Using a recent extension of the Lusztig braid group automorphisms of a quantum affine algebra, I prove that at an oddl-th root of unity, thel-th power of every real root vector lies in the centre of the quantum affine algebra. The centre of a quantum affine algebra at a root of unity is infinite dimensional: nevertheless it is infinite dimensional over its centre.     

q-Deformation of symplectic dynamical symmetries in algebraic models of nuclear structure

With a view toward further nuclear structure applications of approaches based on quantum-deformed (or q-deformed) algebras, introduced to the authors by Yu.F. Smirnov, we construct a q analog of a boson realization of the symplectic noncompact sp(4, R) algebra together with a q analog of a fermion realization of the symplectic compact sp(4) algebra. The first study, on the q-deformed Sp(4,R) symmetry, is applied to the development of a q analog of the two-dimensional Interacting Boson Model with q-deformed SU(3) the underpinning dynamical symmetry group. An explicit realization in terms of q-tensor operators with respect to the standard su _q (2) algebra is given. The group-subgroup structure of this framework yields the physical interpretation of the generators of the groups under consideration. The second symplectic algebra, the q-deformed sp(4), is applied to studying isovector pairing correlations in atomic nuclei. A specific q deformation of the sp(4) algebra is realized in terms of q deformed fermion creation and annihilation operators of the shell model. The generators of the algebra close on four distinct realizations of the u _q (2) subalgebra. These reductions, which correspond to different types of pairing interactions, yield a complete classification of the basis states. An analysis of the role of the q deformation is based on a comparison of the results for energies of the lowest isovector-paired 0⁺ states in the deformed and nondeformed cases.
