Tensor representation of the quantum groupSL q (2,C) and quantum Minkowski space

We investigate the structure of the tensor product representation of the quantum groupSL _q (2,C) by using the 2-dimensional quantum plane as a building block. Two types of 4-dimensional spaces are constructed applying the methods used in twistor theory. We show that the 4-dimensional real representation ofSL _q (2,C) generates a consistent non-commutative algebra, and thus it provides a quantum deformation of Minkowski space. The transformation of this 4-dimensional space gives the quantum Lorentz groupSO _q(3, 1).     

All possible Cayley-Klein contractions of quantum orthogonal groups

Spaces of constant curvature and their motion groups are described most naturally in the Cartesian basis. All these motion groups, also known as CK groups, are obtained from an orthogonal group by contractions and analytical continuations. On the other hand, quantum deformation of orthogonal group SO(N) is most easily performed in the so-called symplectic basis. We reformulate its standard quantum deformation to the Cartesian basis and obtain all possible contractions of quantum orthogonal group SO _q (N) for both untouched and transformed deformation parameters. It turned out that, similar to the undeformed case, all CK contractions of SO _q (N) are realized. An algorithm for obtaining nonequivalent (as Hopf algebra) contracted quantum groups is suggested. Contractions of SO _q (N), N = 3, 4, 5, are regarded as examples.     

Differential calculus onISO q(N), quantum Poincaré algebra and q-gravity

We present a general method to deform the inhomogeneous algebras of theB _n,C_n,D_n type, and find the corresponding bicovariant differential calculus. The method is based on a projection fromB _n+1,C_n+1,D_n+1. For example we obtain the (bicovariant) inhomogeneousq-algebraISO _q(N) as a consistent projection of the (bicovariant)q-algebraSO _q(N=2). This projection works for particular multiparametric deformations ofSO(N+2), the so-called minimal deformations. The case ofISO _q(4) is studied in detail: a real form corresponding to a Lorentz signature exists only for one of the minimal deformations, depending on one parameterq. The quantum Poincaré Lie algebra is given explicitly: it has 10 generators (no dilatations) and contains theclassical Lorentz algebra. Only the commutation relations involving the momenta depend onq. Finally, we discuss aq-deformation of gravity based on the gauging of thisq-Poincaré algebra: the lagrangian generalizes the usual Einstein-Cartan lagrangian.     

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.     

u q(2,1) noncompact quantum algebra: Intermediate discrete series of unitary irreducible representations

The unitary irreducible representations of the u _q(2,1) quantum algebra that belong to the intermediate discrete series are considered. The q analog of the Mickelsson-Zhelobenko algebra is developed. Use is made of the U basis corresponding to the reduction u _q(2,1) ? u _q(2). Explicit formulas for the matrix elements of the generators are obtained in this basis. The projection operator that projects an arbitrary vector onto the extremal vector of the intermediate-series representation is found.     

On the representation theory of quantum Heisenberg group and algebra

We show that the quantum Heisenberg groupH _q (1) and its *-Hopf algebra structure can be obtained by means of contraction from quantumSU _q (2) group. Its dual Hopf algebra is the quantum Heisenberg algebraU _q (h(1)). We derive left and right regular representations forU _q (h(1)) as acting on its dualH _q (1). Imposing conditions on the right representation, the left representation is reduced to an irreducible holomorphic representation with an associated quantum coherent state. Realized in the Bargmann-Hilbert space of analytic functions the unitarity of regular representation is also shown. By duality, left and right regular representations for quantum Heisenberg group with the quantum Heisenberg algebra as representation module are also constructed. As before reduction of group left representations leads to finite dimensional irreducible ones for which the intertwinning operator is also investigated.     

A q-deformed Lorentz algebra

We derive a q-deformed version of the Lorentz algebra by deforming the algebraSL(2,C). The method is based on linear representations of the algebra on the complex quantum spinor space. We find that the generators usually identified withSL _q(2,C) generateSU _q (2) only. Four additional generators are added which generate Lorentz boosts. The full algebra of all seven generators and their coproduct is presented. We show that in the limitq→1 the generators are those of the classical Lorentz algebra plus an additionalU(1). Thus we have a deformation ofSL(2,C)×U(1).     

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.     

Deformed fermion realization of sp(4) and its reductions

A specific q-deformation of the compact symplectic sp(4) algebra, one that is suitable for nuclear physics applications, 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 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 non-deformed cases.

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 .     

On a general analytic formula for U q(su(3)) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients

We present the projection operator method in combination with the Wigner-Racah calculus of the subalgebra U _q(su(2)) for calculation of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients (CGCs) of the quantum algebra U _q(su(3)). The key formulas of the method are couplings of the tensor and projection operators and also a tensor form for the projection operator of U _q(su(3)). We obtain a very compact general analytic formula for the U _q(su(3)) CGCs in terms of the U _q(su(2)) Wigner 3nj symbols.     

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.     

On a microscopic representation of space-time

We start from a noncompact Lie algebra isomorphic to the Dirac algebra and relate this Lie algebra in a brief review to low-energy hadron physics described by the compact group SU(4). This step permits an overall physical identification of the operator actions. Then we discuss the geometrical origin of this noncompact Lie algebra and ??reduce?? the geometry in order to introduce in each of these steps coordinate definitions which can be related to an algebraic representation in terms of the spontaneous symmetry breakdown along the Lie algebra chain su*(4) ?? usp(4) ?? su(2) × u(1). Standard techniques of Lie algebra decomposition(s) as well as the (physical) operator identification give rise to interesting physical aspects and lead to a rank-1 Riemannian space which provides an analytic representation and leads to a 5-dimensional hyperbolic space H ₅ with SO(5, 1) isometries. The action of the (compact) symplectic group decomposes this (globally) hyperbolic space into H ₂ ?? H ₃ with SO(2, 1) and SO(3, 1) isometries, respectively, which we relate to electromagnetic (dynamically broken SU(2) isospin) and Lorentz transformations. Last not least, we attribute this symmetry pattern to the algebraic representation of a projective geometry over the division algebra H and subsequent coordinate restrictions.

The q-deformed SUSY algebra is obtained for su_q(n)-covariant q-fermions and the Hamiltonian for them is constructed.     

Momentum and density dependence of the ph interaction in continuum RPA calculations with Skyrme forces

We analyse the momentum and density dependence of the ph interaction in self-consistent RPA calculations of electromagnetic reactions with Skyrme forces. First, we calculate the V⁰⁰_ph and V⁰¹_ph spin-isospin components in nuclear matter for an SK3 interaction. At the nuclear surface, they have decreasing values with increasing q-values up to momenta q=3 fm⁻¹. As a second point, we show that the predictions of the ¹²C(e, e') charge response at 400 MeV/c remain practically unchanged when the zero-range quadratic momentum dependence of the SK3 interaction is replaced by the momentum dependence associated with a Yukawa short-ranged force.     

SO q (N) covariant differential calculus on quantum space and quantum deformation of schrödinger equation

We construct a differential calculus on theN-dimensional non-commutative Euclidean space, i.e., the space on which the quantum groupSO _q (N) is acting. The differential calculus is required to be manifestly covariant underSO _q (N) transformations. Using this calculus, we consider the Schrödinger equation corresponding to the harmonic oscillator in the limit ofq→1. The solution of it is given byq-deformed functions.     

The su q(2) algebra in the off-diagonal basis and applications to quantum optics

We consider a new exactly solvable nonlinear quantum model as a Hamiltonian defined in terms of the generators of the su _q(2) algebra. The corresponding matrix elements of finite rotations (the q-deformed Wigner d functions) are introduced. It is shown that the quantum optical model of the three-wave interaction has an approximate su _q(2) dynamical symmetry given by this Hamiltonian. Such q symmetry allows us to investigate the spectral and dynamical properties of the three wave model through new perturbation techniques.     

On the transverse momentum distribution of massive lepton pairs

The experimentally measured q_t distributions of massive lepton pairs produced in hadron collisions are compared with the predictions of QCD [1]. We demonstrate that a fair agreement may be achieved without the use of large transverse momenta of the constitunt quarks - owing to a specific double-logarithmic form factor which manifests itself in this process. A prediction for the q_t distribution in weak intermediate boson production is also given.     

Colored extension of GL q(2) and its dual algebra

We address the problem of duality between the colored extension of the quantized algebra of functions on a group and that of its quantized universal enveloping algebra, i.e., its dual. In particular, we derive explicitly the algebra dual to the colored extension of GL _q(2) using the colored RLL relations and exhibit its Hopf structure. This leads to a colored generalization of the R-matrix procedure to construct a bicovariant differential calculus on the colored version of GL _q(2). In addition, we also propose a colored generalization of the geometric approach to quantum group duality given by Sudbery and Dobrev.
