BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings

Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra corresponding to the Lie group G, let be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to , of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in . We conjecture that describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases, ₂ (the Virasoro string) and ₃ (the string).

Coordinates of the quantum plane as q-tensor operators in (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2)*\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2))

The relation between the set of transformations of the quantum plane and the quantum universal enveloping algebra U _q (u(2)) is investigated by constructing representations of the factor algebra U _q (u(2))* . The noncommuting coordinates of , on which U _q (2) * U _q (2) acts, are realized as q-spinors with respect to each U _q (u(2)) algebra. The representation matrices of U _q (2) are constructed as polynomials in these spinor components. This construction allows a derivation of the commutation relations of the noncommuting coordinates of directly from properties of U _q (u(2)). The generalization of these results to U _q (u(n)) and is also discussed.     

Bethe subalgebras in twisted Yangians

We study analogues of the Yangian of the Lie algebra for the other classical Lie algebras and . We call them twisted Yangians. They are coideal subalgebras in the Yangian of and admit homomorphisms onto the universal enveloping algebras U( ) and U( ) respectively. In every twisted Yangian we construct a family of maximal commutative subalgebras parametrized by the regular semisimple elements of the corresponding classical Lie algebra. The images in U( ) and U( ) of these subalgebras are also maximal commutative.     

\mathfrak{g}-Relative Star Products

We consider Kontsevich star products on the duals of Lie algebras. Such a star product is relative if, for any Lie algebra, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. Let be a fixed Lie algebra. We shall say that a Kontsevich star product is -relative if, on ^*, its restriction to invariant polynomial functions is the usual pointwise product. We prove that, if is a semi-simple Lie algebra, the only strict Kontsevich -relative star products are the relative (for every Lie algebras) Kontsevich star products.     

A Construction of Representations and Quantum Homogeneous Spaces

A simplified construction of representations is presented for the quantized enveloping algebra q ( ), with being a simple complex Lie algebra belonging to one of the four principal series A\ell, B\ell, C\ell or D\ell. The carrier representation space is the quantized algebra of polynomials in antiholomorphic coordinate functions on the big cell of a coadjoint orbit of K where K is the compact simple Lie group with the Lie algebra – the compact form of .     

Classical Dynamical r-Matrices,Poisson Homogeneous Spaces,and Lagrangian Subalgebras

Lu has shown that any dynamical r-matrix for the pair ( , ) naturally induces a Poisson homogeneous structure on G/U. She also proved that if is complex simple, is its Cartan subalgebra and r is quasitriangular, then this correspondence is in fact one-to-one. In this Letter we find some general conditions under which the Lu correspondence is one-to-one. Then we apply this result to describe all triangular Poisson homogeneous structures on G/U for a simple complex group G and its reductive subgroup U containing a Cartan subgroup.     

N=2 structures on solvable Lie algebras: Thec=9 classification

Let be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra (not necessarily semisimple). It is known that if is self-dual (that is, if it possesses an invariant metric) then it admits anN=1 (affine) Sugawara construction. Under certain additional hypotheses, thisN=1 structure admits anN=2 extension. If this is the case, is said to possess anN=2 structure. It is also known that anN=2 structure on a self-dual Lie algebra is equivalent to a vector space decomposition , where are isotropic Lie subalgebras. In other words,N=2 structures on in one-to-one correspondence with Manin triples . In this paper we exploit this correspondence to obtain a classification of thec=9N=2 structures on solvable Lie algebras. In the process we also give some simple proofs for a variety of Lie algebras. In the process we also give some simple proofs for a variety of Lie algebraic results concerning self-dual Lie algebras admitting symplectic or Kähler structures.     

The construction of a representation of loop algebras

By considering the cohomology of the loop algebraL , a representation ofL is constructed. the construction is based on a derivation ofL and a two-dimensional closed cochain ofl with coefficients in real numbersR ¹.

Regularized,continuum Yang-Mills process and Feynman-Kac functional integral

Giving an ultraviolet regularization and volume cut off we construct a nuclear Riemannian structure on the Hilbert manifold of gauge orbits. This permits us to define a regularized Laplace-Beltrami operator on and an associated global diffusion in governed by . This enables us to define, via a Feynman-Kac integral, a Euclidean, continuum regularized Yang-Mills process corresponding to a suitable regularization (of the kinetic term) of the classical Yang-Mills Lagrangian onT .On leave of absence from Zaragoza University (Spain)Laboratoire associé au CNRS

Let be aC*-algebra and be an opposite algebra. Notions of exact andj-positive states of are introduced. It is shown, that any factor state of can be extended to a pure exactj-positive state of . The correspondence generalizes the notion of the purifications map introduced by Powers and Størmer. The factor states ₁ and ₂ are quasi-equivalent if and only if their purifications and are equivalent.     

Preferred Invariant Symplectic Connections on Compact Coadjoint Orbits

Let be the Haag--Kastler net generated by the (2) chiral current algebra at level 1. We classify the SL(2, )-covariant subsystems by showing that they are all fixed points nets ^H for some subgroup H of the gauge automorphisms group SO(3) of . Then, using the fact that the net ₁ generated by the (1) chiral current can be regarded as a subsystem of , we classify the subsystems of ₁. In this case, there are two distinct proper subsystems: the one generated by the energy-momentum tensor and the gauge invariant subsystem .     

A mathematical condition for a sublattice of a propositional system to represent a physical subsystem,with a physical interpretation

We display three equivalent conditions for a sublattice, isomorphic to aP , of the propositional systemP() of a quantum system to be the representation of a physical subsystem (see [1]). These conditions are valid for dim 3. We prove that one of them is still necessary and sufficient if dim <3. A physical interpretation of this condition is given.Wetenschappelijke medewerkers bij het Interuniversitair Instituut voor Kernwetenschappen (in het kader van navorsingsprogramma 21 EN).

Classification of three-dimensional covariant differential calculi on Podles' quantum spheres and on related spaces

Covariant differential calculi on the quantum space for the quantum group SL _q (2) are classified. Our main assumptions are thatq is not a root of unity and that the differentials de _j of the generators of form a free right module basis for the first-order forms. Our result says, in particular, that apart from the two casesc =c(3), there exists a unique differential calculus with the above properties on the space which corresponds to Podles' quantum sphereS _qc ^/2 .     

Projective Structure,Symplectic Connection and Quantization

Let X be a connected Riemann surface equipped with a projective structure . Let E be a holomorphic symplectic vector bundle over X equipped with a flat connection. There is a holomorphic symplectic structure on the total space of the pullback of E to the space of all nonzero holomorphic cotangent vectors on X. Using , this symplectic form is quantized. A moduli space of Higgs bundles on a compact Riemann surface has a natural holomorphic symplectic structure. Using , a quantization of this symplectic form over a Zariski open subset of the moduli space of Higgs bundles is constructed.     

Modules over\mathfrak{U}_q (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 )

The restricted quantum universal enveloping algebra decomposes in a canonical way into a direct sum of indecomposable left (or right) ideals. They are useful for determining the direct summands which occur in the tensor product of two simple . The indecomposable finite-dimensional are classified and located in the Auslander-Reiten quiver.

In this Letter, we consider Kontsevich's wheel operators for linear Poisson structures, i.e. on the dual of Lie algebras . We prove that these operators vanish on each invariant polynomial function on *. This gives a characterization of the Kontsevich star products which are deformations relative to the algebra of invariant functions.
