On the centers of quantum groups of <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>-type

Let g be the finite dimensional simple Lie algebra of type An, and let U? = U _q (g,Λ) and U = U _q (g,Q) be the quantum groups defined over the weight lattice and over the root lattice, respectively. In this paper, we find two algebraically independent central elements in U? for all n ≥ 2 and give an explicit formula of the Casimir elements for the quantum group U? = U _q (g,Λ), which corresponds to the Casimir element of the enveloping algebra U(g). Moreover, for n = 2 we give explicitly generators of the center subalgebras of the quantum groups U? = U _q (g,Λ) and U = U _q (g,Q).     

Formality theorem for Lie bialgebras and quantization of twists and coboundary r-matrices

Let (g,δ?) be a Lie bialgebra. Let (U?(g),Δ?) a quantization of (g,δ?) through Etingof-Kazhdan functor. We prove the existence of a L_∞-morphism between the Lie algebra C(g)=Λ(g) and the tensor algebra (without unit) T₊U=T₊(U?(g)[−1]) with Lie algebra structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket. When s is a twist for (g,δ), we deduce from the formality morphism the existence of a quantum twist F. When (g,δ,r) is a coboundary Lie bialgebra, we get the existence of a quantization R of r.     

Complete cohomological functors on groups

If Λ is a ring and A is a Λ-module, then a terminal completion of Ext^1_Λ(A, ) is shown to exist if, and only if, Ext^j_Λ(A, P)=0 for all projective Λ-modules P and all sufficiently large j. Such a terminal completion exists for every A if, and only if, the supremum of the injective lengths of all projective Λ-modules, silp Λ, is finite. Analogous results hold for Ext^1_Λ(,A) and involve spli Λ, the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective Λ-modules. When Λ is an integral group ring $\text{Z}$G, spli$\text{Z}$G is finite implies silp $\text{Z}$G is finite. Also the finiteness of spli is preserved under group extensions. If G is a countable soluble group, the spli $\text{Z}$G is finite if, and only if, the Hirsch number of G is finite.     

Matching Realization of Uq（sln＋1） of Higher Rank in the Quantum Weyl Algebra Wq（2n）

In the paper, we further realize the higher rank quantized universal enveloping algebra Uq（sln＋1） as certain quantum differential operators in the quantum Weyl algebra Wq （2n） defined over the quantum divided power algebra Sq（n） of rank n. We give the quantum differential operators realization for both the simple root vectors and the non-simple root vectors of Uq（sln＋1）. The nice behavior of the quantum root vectors formulas under the action of the Lusztig symmetries once again indicates that our realization model is naturally matched.     

Hodge Star as Braided Fourier Transform

We study super-braided Hopf algebras Λ primitively generated by finite-dimensional right crossed (or Drinfeld-Radford-Yetter) modules Λ¹ over a Hopf algebra A which are quotients of the augmentation ideal A ⁺ as a crossed module by right multiplication and the adjoint coaction. Here super-bosonisation Open image in new window provides a bicovariant differential graded algebra on A. We introduce Λ _{m a x} providing the maximal prolongation, while the canonical braided-exterior algebra Λ _min = B _?(Λ¹) provides the Woronowicz exterior calculus. In this context we introduce a Hodge star operator ? by super-braided Fourier transform on B _?(Λ¹) and left and right interior products by braided partial derivatives. Our new approach to the Hodge star (a) differs from previous approaches in that it is canonically determined by the differential calculus and (b) differs on key examples, having order 3 in middle degree on k[S ₃] with its 3D calculus and obeying the q-Hecke relation ?² = 1 + (q ? q ^?1)? in middle degree on k _q [S L ₂] with its 4D calculus. Our work also provides a Hodge map on quantum plane calculi and a new starting point for calculi on coquasitriangular Hopf algebras A whereby any subcoalgebra \(\mathcal {L}\subseteq A\) defines a sub-braided Lie algebra and \({\Lambda }^{1}\subseteq \mathcal {L}^{*}\) provides the required data A ⁺ → Λ¹.     

Riemannian geometry of quantum computation

A review is given of some recent developments in the differential geometry of quantum computation for which the quantum evolution is described by the special unitary unimodular group, SU(2ⁿ). Using the Lie algebra su(2ⁿ), detailed derivations are given of a useful Riemannian geometry of SU(2ⁿ), including the connection and the geodesic equation for minimal complexity quantum computations.     

A Class of Finite-Dimensional Representations of U_q（sl_2）

In order to study a class of finite-dimensional representations of Uq（sl2）, we deal with the quotient algebra Uq （m, n, b） of quantum group Uq（sl2） with relations Kr=1, Emr=b, Fnr=0 in this paper, where q is a root of unity. The algebra Uq（m, n, b） is decomposed into a direct sum of indecomposable （left） ideals. The structures of indecomposable projective representations and their blocks are determined.     

Combinatorial bases of modules for affine Lie algebra B 2 (1)

We construct bases of standard (i.e. integrable highest weight) modules L(Λ) for affine Lie algebra of type B ₂ ⁽¹⁾ consisting of semi-infinite monomials. The main technical ingredient is a construction of monomial bases for Feigin-Stoyanovsky type subspaces W(Λ) of L(Λ) by using simple currents and intertwining operators in vertex operator algebra theory. By coincidence W(kΛ₀) for B ₂ ⁽¹⁾ and the integrable highest weight module L(kΛ₀) for A ₁ ⁽¹⁾ have the same parametrization of combinatorial bases and the same presentation P/I.     

On symmetrical <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-extensions of the 2-dimensional grid

Properties of symmetrical q-extensions of grids are investigated. A criterion is obtained for a set of symmetrical q-extensions of the 2-dimensional grid Λ² to be finite. This criterion is used to prove, in particular, that the set of all Aut ₀(Λ²)-symmetrical q-extensions of the grid Λ2 is finite for any prime q. The list of all Aut ₀(Λ²)-symmetrical 3-extensions of the grid Λ² is obtained.     

Idempotent Ideals and the Igusa-Todorov Functions

Let Λ be an artin algebra and \(\mathfrak {A}\) a two-sided idempotent ideal of Λ, that is, \(\mathfrak {A}\) is the trace of a projective Λ-module P in Λ. We consider the categories of finitely generated modules over the associated rings \({\Lambda }/\mathfrak {A}, {\Lambda }\) and Γ = End_Λ(P) ^{o p} and study the relationship between their homological properties via the Igusa-Todorov functions.     

The bitwisted Cartesian model for the free loop fibration

Using the notion of truncating twisting function from a simplicial set to a cubical set a special, bitwisted, Cartesian product of these sets is defined. For the universal truncating twisting function, the (co)chain complex of the corresponding bitwisted Cartesian product agrees with the standard Cartier (Hochschild) chain complex of the simplicial (co)chains. The modelling polytopes Fn are constructed. An explicit diagonal on Fn is defined and a multiplicative model for the free loop fibration ΩY→ΛY→Y is obtained. As an application we establish an algebra isomorphism H^∗(ΛY;Z)≈S(U)⊗Λ(s−1U) for the polynomial cohomology algebra H^∗(Y;Z)=S(U).     

On the Hochschild (Co)Homology of Quantum Exterior Algebras

We compute the Hochschild cohomology and homology of the algebra Λ = k 〈x, y〉/(x ², xy + qyx, y ²) with coefficients in ₁ Λ_ψ for every degree preserving k-algebra automorphism ψ : Λ → Λ. As a result we obtain several interesting examples of the homological behavior of Λ as a bimodule.     

The spin dependence of an weak interaction in the decay of hypernuclei

From an analysis of 468 hypernuclei (HFs) with ranges > 120 μm, the non-mesic to π^?-mesic ratio (Q^?) for_ΛHe and_ΛHe⁵ HFs was found to be 1.37 ±0.17 and 1.58± 0.20 respectively. This data, together with results on_ΛHe⁴ and heavy hypernuclei, has been used to deduce spin dependences for Λⁿ and ΛP weak interactions in decay of hypernuclei. It is found that the rates for triplet and singlet interactions between Λ and neutron are 22 Γ_Λ and 11 Γ_Λ and for Λ and proton are 8.2 Γ_Λ and 5.5 Γ_Λ respectively, where Γ_Λ is the decay rate of Λ. The total decay rates for ΛHe⁴ and_ΛHe⁵ are 1.28 Γ_Λ and 0.99 Γ_Λ and the non-mesic decay rates are 0.17 Γ_Λ and 0.51 Γ_Λ respectively.     

Universal Deformation Rings of Modules for Algebras of Dihedral Type of Polynomial Growth

Let k be an algebraically closed field, and let Λ be an algebra of dihedral type of polynomial growth as classified by Erdmann and Skowroński. We describe all finitely generated Λ-modules V whose stable endomorphism rings are isomorphic to k and determine their universal deformation rings R(Λ, V). We prove that only three isomorphism types occur for R(Λ, V): k, k[[t]]/(t ²) and k[[t]].     

LatticeW algebras and quantum groups

We present Feigin's construction [Lectures given in Landau Institute] of latticeW algebras and give some simple results: lattice Virasoro andW ₃ algebras. For the simplest caseg=sl(2), we introduce the wholeU _q(2)) quantum group on this lattice. We find the simplest two-dimensional module as well as the exchange relations and define the lattice Virasoro algebra as the algebra of invariants ofU _q(sl(2)). Another generalization is connected with the lattice integrals of motion as the invariants of the quantum affine groupU _q(ñ₊). We show that Volkov's scheme leads to a system of difference equations for a function of non-commutative variables.Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, 142432, Chernogolovka, Russia. Published in Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 100, No. 1, pp. 132–147, July, 1994.     

The Coradical Filtration for Drinfeld Double Ringel-Hall Algebras

Abstract

Let 𝒟(Λ) be the Drinfeld double Ringel-Hall algebra with Λ being any finite dimensional hereditary algebra over a finite field k. We determine the coradical filtration for 𝒟(Λ). As an application, we describe the group of Hopf algebra automorphisms of the Drinfeld double Ringel composition algebra of Λ.     

Extensions of quantum enveloping algebras

In this paper, we define a class of extended quantum enveloping algebras U _q (f(K, J)) and some new Hopf algebras, which are certain extensions of quantum enveloping algebras by a Hopf algebra H. This construction generalizes some well-known extensions of quantum enveloping algebras by a Hopf algebra and provides a large of new noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebras.     

Semi-crossed products of C1-algebras

Given a C¹-algebra $\text{U}$ and endomorphim α, there is an associated nonselfadjoint operator algebra $\text{Z}$⁺ X_α$\text{U}$, called the semi-crossed product of $\text{U}$ with α. If α is an automorphim, $\text{Z}$⁺ X_α$\text{U}$ can be identified with a subalgebra of the C¹-crossed product $\text{Z}$⁺ X_α$\text{U}$. If $\text{U}$ is commutative and α is an automorphim satisfying certain conditions, $\text{Z}$⁺ X_α$\text{U}$ is an operator algebra of the type studied by Arveson and Josephson. Suppose S is a locally compact Hausdorff space, φ: S → S is a continuous and proper map, and α is the endomorphim of U=C₀(S) given by α(?) = ? ō φ. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the map φ are given to insure that the semi-crossed product Z⁺X_αC₀(S) is (i) semiprime; (ii) semisimple; (ii) strongly semisimple.
