The Lie algebra of the sl(2, ℂ)-valued automorphic functions on a torus

It is shown that the Lie algebra of the automorphic, meromorphic sl(2, )-valued functions on a torus is a geometric realization of a certain infinite-dimensional finitely generated Lie algebra. In the trigonometric limit, when the modular parameter of the torus goes to zero, the former Lie algebra goes over into the sl(2, )-valued loop algebra, while the latter goes into the Lie algebra (A ₁ ⁽¹⁾ )/(centre).     

Quantum orbits of theR-matrix type

Given a simple Lie algebra g, we consider the orbits in g^* which are of theR-matrix type, i.e., which possess a Poisson pencil generated by the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau bracket and the so-calledR-matrix bracket. We call an algebra quantizing the latter bracket a quantum orbit of theR-matrix type. We describe some orbits of this type explicitly and we construct a quantization of the whole Poisson pencil on these orbits in a similar way. The notions ofq-deformed Lie brackets, braided coadjoint vector fields, and tangent vector fields are discussed as well.     

Embeddings of Hyperbolic Kac–Moody Algebras into E 10

We show that the rank 10 hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebra E ₁₀ contains every simply laced hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebra as a Lie subalgebra. Our method is based on an extension of earlier work of Feingold and Nicolai.      

Construction of cyclic representations of quantum algebras at q p =1 from their regular representations

Cyclic representations of maximal dimension of the quantum algebra U _q L associated with any finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra L are studied from its regular representation at q ^p =1, which is proved to be a quotient module of itself as a left module with respect to some submodules. The general theory is given after an instructive example U _q sl(2) is studied. Another explicit example U _q sl(3) is also presented.This work is supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Classification of all Poisson-Lie structures on an infinite-dimensional jet group

A local classification of all Poisson-Lie structures on an infinite-dimensional group G of formal power series is given. All Lie bialgebra structures on the Lie algebra G of G are also classified.     

The algebra of differential operators on the circle and W KP (q)

Radul has recently introduced a map from the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle of W _n . In this Letter, we extend this map to W _KP ^(q) , a recently introduced one-parameter deformation of W_KP - the second Hamiltonian structure of the KP hierarchy. We use this to give a short proof that W is the algebra of additional symmetries of the KP equation.     

Highest weight representations of quantum current algebras

We study the highest weight and continuous tensor product representations ofq-deformed Lie algebras through the mappings of a manifold into a locally compact group. As an example the highest weight representation of theq-deformed algebra sl_q(2,) is calculated in detail.Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung fellow.

The quantum Weyl group and the universal quantumR-matrix for affine lie algebraA1(1)

The universal quantumR-matrix is obtained in the case of the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra sl(2).     

The classical su(2) invariance of the su(2) q -invariant XXZ spin chain

The XXZ spin-chain Hamiltonian has been constructed to be su(2) _q -invariant, but naively does not appear to be su(2)-invariant. However, using recently discovered deforming maps between representations of su(2) _q and corresponding representations of su(2), we prove a theorem which states that if a Hamiltonian is su(2) _q -invariant, it is also su(2)-invariant. The theorem generalizes to any quantized Lie algebra.     

Explicit form and convergence of 1-differential formal deformations of the poisson Lie algebra

Introducing the notion of an admissible graded Lie subalgebra A of the Nijenhui-Richardson algebra A(V) of the vector space V, it is shown that each cohomology class of a subcomplex C _A of the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex (C ⁰ M), extends in a cononical way as a graded cohomology class of weight — 1 of A. Applying this when V is the space N of smooth functions of a smooth manifold M, shows that the de Rham cohomology of M is induced by the graded cohomology of weight — 1 of the Schouten graded Lie algebra of M. This allows us to construct explicitly all 1-differential, nc formal deformations of the Poisson bracket of a symplectic manifold. The construction also applies for an arbitrary Poisson manifold but leads to only part of these deformations when the structure degenerates, as shown by an example.     

Quantized universal enveloping superalgebra of type Q and a super-extension of the Hecke algebra

The quantized universal enveloping algebra U _q(q(n)) of the strange Lie superalgebra q(n) and a super-analogue HC _q (N) of the Hecke algebra H _q (N) are constructed. These objects are in a duality similar to the known duality between U _q (gl(n)) and H _q (N).     

Boson realizations of quantum algebras and some physical spaces with quantum algebra symmetry

The generators ofq-boson algebra are expressed in terms of those of boson algebra, and the relations among the representations of a quantum algebra onq-Fock space, on Fock space, and on coherent state space are discussed in a general way. Two examples are also given to present concrete physical spaces with quantum algebra symmetry. Finally, a new homomorphic mapping from a Lie algebra to boson algebra is presented.This work is supported by the National Foundation of Natural Science of China.     

Noncommutative symmetric functions and laplace operators for classical Lie algebras

New systems of Laplace (Casimir) operators for the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras are constructed. The operators are expressed in terms of paths in graphs related to matrices formed by the generators of these Lie algebras with the use of some properties of the noncommutative symmetric functions associated with a matrix. The decomposition of the Sklyanin determinant into a product of quasi-determinants play the main role in the construction. Analogous decomposition for the quantum determinant provides an alternative proof of the known construction for the Lie algebra gl(N).     

Mirror supersymmetry in the space of (super) extended Poincaré algebras p(p,q)

We classify extended Poincaré Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras of any signature (p, q), i.e. Lie superalgebras and ₂-graded Lie algebras g = g₀ + g₁, where g₀ = s₀(V) + V is the (generalized) Poincaré Lie algebra of the pseudo Euclidean vector space V = ^{p, q} of signature (p, q) and g₁ is a spin 1/2 s₀(V)-module extended to a s₀-module with kernel V.As a result of the classification, we obtain, if g₁ = S is the spinor module, the numbers L ⁺(n, s) (resp. L ^–(n, s)) of independent such Lie super algebras (resp. Lie algebras), which are periodic functions of the dimension n=p+q (mod 8) and the signature s=p–q (mod 8) and satisfy: L ⁺(–n, s)=L ^– (n, s).Supported by Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik (Bonn).Supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, MSRI (Berkeley) and SFB 256 (Bonn University).     

Quantization of U q [so(2n + 1)] with deformed para-Fermi operators

The observation thatn pairs of para-Fermi (pF) operators generate the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra so(2n + 1) is used in order to define deformed pF operators. It is shown that these operators are an alternative to the Chevalley generators. With this background U _q [so(2n + 1)] and its Cartan-Weyl generators are written down entirely in terms of deformed para-Fermi operators.     

Central Elements in the Universal Enveloping Algebras for the Split Realization of the Orthogonal Lie Algebras

We construct central elements in the universal enveloping algebra using column-determinants for the split realization of the orthogonal Lie algebra. Our central elements are quite new and simple, though they are closely related to what Howe and Umeda gave for the orthogonal Lie algebra under the different realization as the alternating matrices.     

Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for representations of Yangians

We construct an analog of the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis in the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of Yangians and find the matrix elements of the Drinfeld generators in this basis. As a special case of this construction, we obtain the well-known Gelfand-Tsetlin basis in the representations of the Lie algebra gl(N).     

A Super-Analogue of Kontsevich’s Theorem on Graph Homology

In this Letter, we will prove a super-analogue of a well-known result by Kontsevich which states that the homology of a certain complex generated by isomorphism classes of oriented graphs can be calculated as the Lie algebra homology of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields.     

Crystal algebra

We define the crystal algebra, an algebra which has a base of elements of crystal bases of a quantum group. The multiplication is defined by the tensor product rule of crystal bases. A universal n-colored crystal algebra is defined. We study the relation between those algebras and the tensor algebras of the crystal algebra of U _q (sl(2)) and give a presentation by generators and relations for the case of U _q (sl(n)).
