Actions of GLq (2,C) on C(1,3) and its four dimensional representations

A complete classification is given of all inner actions on the Clifford algebra C(l,3) defined by representations of the quantum group GL_q (2,C)q^m ≠1, which are not reduced to representations of two commuting “q-spinors”. As a consequence of this classification it is shown that the space of invariants of every GL_q (2,C)-action of this type, which is not an action of SL_q (2,C), is generatedby 1 and the value of the quantum determinant for the given representation.     

On generalized Clifford algebraC 4 (n) andGL q (2;C) quantum group

The non commuting matrix elements of matrices from quantum groupGL _q (2;C) withq≡ω being then-th root of unity are given a representation as operators in Hilbert space with help ofC ₄ ⁽ⁿ⁾ generalized Clifford algebra generators appropriately tensored with unit 2×2 matrix infinitely many times. Specific properties of such a representation are presented. Relevance of generalized Pauli algebra to azimuthal quantization of angular momentum alà Lévy-Leblond [10] and to polar decomposition ofSU _q (2;C) quantum algebra alà Chaichian and Ellinas [6] is also commented. The case ofq∈C, |q|=1 may be treated parallely.     

Properties of convergence for the q-Meyer-König and Zeller operators

In this paper, we discuss properties of convergence for the q-Meyer-König and Zeller operators Mn,q. Based on an explicit expression for Mn,q(t²,x) in terms of q-hypergeometric series, we show that for qn∈(0,1], the sequence (Mn,qn(f))_n?1 converges to f uniformly on [0,1] for each f∈C[0,1] if and only if limn→∞qn=1. For fixed q∈(0,1), we prove that the sequence (Mn,q(f)) converges for each f∈C[0,1] and obtain the estimates for the rate of convergence of (Mn,q(f)) by the modulus of continuity of f, and the estimates are sharp in the sense of order for Lipschitz continuous functions. We also give explicit formulas of Voronovskaya type for the q-Meyer-König and Zeller operators for fixed 0<q<1. If 0<q<1, f∈C¹[0,1], we show that the rate of convergence for the Meyer-König and Zeller operators is o(qn) if and only if

     

Two-parameter families of quantum symmetry groups

We introduce and study natural two-parameter families of quantum groups motivated on one hand by the liberations of classical orthogonal groups and on the other by quantum isometry groups of the duals of the free groups. Specifically, for each pair (p,q) of non-negative integers we define and investigate quantum groups O⁺(p,q), B⁺(p,q), S⁺(p,q) and H⁺(p,q) corresponding to, respectively, orthogonal groups, bistochastic groups, symmetric groups and hyperoctahedral groups. In the first three cases the new quantum groups turn out to be related to the (dual free products of ) free quantum groups studied earlier. For H⁺(p,q) the situation is different and we show that , where the latter can be viewed as a liberation of the classical isometry group of the p-dimensional torus.     

Nonlinear biharmonic equations with negative exponents

In this paper, we study global positive C⁴ solutions of the geometrically interesting equation: Δ²u+u−q=0 with q>0 in R³. We will establish several existence and non-existence theorems, including the classification result for q=7 with exactly linear growth condition.     

Actions of the dipper-donkin quantization GL 2 on the clifford algebra C(l,3)

Following the method already developed for studying the actions of GL_q (2,C) on the Clifford algebra C(l,3) and its quantum invariants [1], we study the action on C(l, 3) of the quantum GL ₂ constructed by Dipper and Donkin [2]. We are able of proving that there exits only two non-equivalent cases of actions with nontrivial “perturbation” [1]. The spaces of invariants are trivial in both cases.

We also prove that each irreducible finite dimensional algebra representation of the quantum GL ₂ q^m ≠1, is one dimensional.

By studying the cases with zero “perturbation” we find that the cases with nonzero “perturbation” are the only ones with maximal possible dimension for the operator algebra ?.     

Quantum quaternion spheres

For the quantum symplectic group SP _q (2n), we describe the C ^?-algebra of continuous functions on the quotient space S P _q (2n)/S P _q (2n?2) as an universal C ^?-algebra given by a finite set of generators and relations. The proof involves a careful analysis of the relations, and use of the branching rules for representations of the symplectic group due to Zhelobenko. We then exhibit a set of generators of the K-groups of this C ^?-algebra in terms of generators of the C ^?-algebra.     

A functional equation arising from multiplication of quantum integers

For the quantum integer [n]_q=1+q+q²+?+qⁿ⁻¹ there is a natural polynomial multiplication such that [m]_q⊗_q[n]_q=[mn]_q. This multiplication leads to the functional equation f_m(q)f_n(q^m)=f_mn(q), defined on a given sequence of polynomials. This paper contains various results concerning the construction and classification of polynomial sequences that satisfy the functional equation, as well open problems that arise from the functional equation.     

Absolutely continuous spectrum of Stark operators

We prove several new results on the absolutely continuous spectra of perturbed one-dimensional Stark operators. First, we find new classes of perturbations, characterized mainly by smoothness conditions, which preserve purely absolutely continuous spectrum. Then we establish stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum in more general situations, where imbedded singular spectrum may occur. We present two kinds of optimal conditions for the stability of absolutely continuous spectrum: decay and smoothness. In the decay direction, we show that a sufficient (in the power scale) condition is |q(x)|≤C(1+|x|)^?1/4?ε; in the smoothness direction, a sufficient condition in Hölder classes isq∈C^1/2+ε(R). On the other hand, we show that there exist potentials which both satisfy |q(x)|≤C(1+|x|)^?1/4 and belong toC^1/2(R) for which the spectrum becomes purely singular on the whole real axis, so that the above results are optimal within the scales considered.     

Point configurations on the projective line over a finite field

We study n-point configurations in \({\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_q)}\) modulo projective equivalence. For n = 4 and 5, a complete classification is given, along with the numbers of such configurations with a given symmetry group. Using Polya’s coloring theorem, we investigate the behavior of the numbers C(n, q) of classes of n-configurations resp. C ^spec(n, q) of classes with nontrivial symmetry group. Both are described by rational polynomials in q which depend on q modulo \({\lambda(n) = {\rm lcm} \{m \in \mathbb{N} | m \leq n\}}\) .     

Limit-point / limit-circle classification of second-order differential operators arising in PT quantum mechanics

We consider a second-order differential equation −y^″ + q(x)y(x) = λy(x) with complex-valued potential q and eigenvalue parameter λ ∈ ℂ. In PT quantum mechanics the potential q is given by q(x) = −(ix)^N+2 on a contour Γ ⊂ ℂ. Via a parametrization we obtain two differential equations on [0, ∞) and (−∞, 0]. We give a limit-point/limit-circle classification of this problem via WKB-analysis. (© 2016 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A Good Method of Combining Codes

Let q be an odd prime power, and suppose q?1 (mod8), Let C(q) and C(q)¹ be the two extended binary quadratic residue codes (QR codes) of length q+1, and let

$\text{T(q)={(a+x;b+x;a+b+x):a,b∈C(q),x∈C(q)}{}^1\text{}}$

. We establish a square root bound on the minimum weight in T(q). Since the same type of bound applies to C(q) and C(q)¹, this is a good method of combining codes.     

Quantum complexity of the approximation for the classes B(Wp ([0, 1])) and B(Hp ([0, 1]))

We study the approximation of functions from anisotropic Sobolev classes B(W^r_p([0,1]d)) and Hölder-Nikolskii classes B(H^r_p([0,1]d)) in the L_q([0,1]d) norm with q ≤ p in the quantum model of computation. We determine the quantum query complexity of this problem up to logarithmic factors. It shows that the quantum algorithms are significantly better than the classical deterministic or randomized algorithms.     

The pointwise multipliers of Bloch type space β and Dirichlet type space Dq on the unit ball of C

In the paper, we will discuss the pointwise multipliers from Dirichlet type space D_p to Bloch type space β^q on the unit ball of Cⁿ. The multiplier spaces M(D_p,β^q) are fully characterized for all p, q.     

A uniform finite element method for a conservative singularly perturbed problem

We examine the problem ϵ(p(x)u′) + (q(x)u)′ − r(x)u = f(x) for 0 < x < 1, p>0, q>0, r ⩾ 0; p, q, r and f in C²[0, 1], ϵ in (0, 1], u(0) and u(1) given. Existence of a unique solution u and bounds on u and its derivatives are obtained. Using finite elements on an equidistant mesh of width h we generate a tridiagonal difference scheme which is shown to be uniformly second order accurate for this problem (i.e., the nodal errors are bounded by Ch², where C is independent of h and ϵ). With a natural choice of trial functions, uniform first order accuracy is obtained in the L^∞(0, 1) norm. Using trial functions which interpolate linearly between the nodal values generated by the difference scheme gives uniform first order accuracy in the L¹(0, 1) norm.     

Regularization of Mickelsson generators for nonexceptional quantum groups

Let g′ ? g be a pair of Lie algebras of either symplectic or orthogonal infinitesimal endomorphisms of the complex vector spaces C ^N?2 ? C ^N and U _q (g′) ? U _q (g) be a pair of quantum groups with a triangular decomposition U _q (g) = U _q (g_-)U _q (g₊)U _q (h). Let Z _q (g, g′) be the corresponding step algebra. We assume that its generators are rational trigonometric functions h ? → U _q (g_±). We describe their regularization such that the resulting generators do not vanish for any choice of the weight.     

Adjacency matrices of polarity graphs and of other C 4-free graphs of large size

In this paper we give a method for obtaining the adjacency matrix of a simple polarity graph G _q from a projective plane PG(2, q), where q is a prime power. Denote by ex(n; C ₄) the maximum number of edges of a graph on n vertices and free of squares C ₄. We use the constructed graphs G _q to obtain lower bounds on the extremal function ex(n; C ₄), for some n < q ² + q + 1. In particular, we construct a C ₄-free graph on ${n=q^2 -\sqrt{q}}$ vertices and ${\frac{1}{2} q(q^2-1)-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{q} (q-1) }$ edges, for a square prime power q.

Fixed Points of Compact Quantum Groups Actions on Cuntz Algebras

Given an action of a Compact Quantum Group (CQG) on a finite dimensional Hilbert space, we can construct an action on the associated Cuntz algebra. We study the fixed point algebra of this action, using Kirchberg classification results. Under certain conditions, we prove that the fixed point algebra is purely infinite and simple. We further identify it as a C ^*-algebra, compute its K-theory and prove a “stability property”: the fixed points only depend on the CQG via its fusion rules. We apply the theory to SU _q (N) and illustrate by explicit computations for SU _q (2) and SU _q (3). This construction provides examples of free actions of CQG (or “principal noncommutative bundles”).
