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.

Let (M, g) be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and the space of densities of degree on M. Denote the space of differential operators from to of order k and S _k with = – the corresponding space of symbols. We construct (the unique) conformally invariant quantization map . This result generalizes that of Duval and Ovsienko.

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).

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian for astrip in with one straight boundary and a width , where $f$ is a smooth function of acompact support with a length 2b. We show that in the criticalcase, , the operator has nobound statesfor small .On the otherhand, a weakly bound state existsprovided . In thatcase, there are positive c ₁,c ₂ suchthat the corresponding eigenvalue satisfies for all sufficiently small.     

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).     

Minimal Model Fusion Rules From 2-Groups

The fusion rules for the (p,q)-minimal model representations of the Virasoro algebra are shown to come from the group in the following manner. There is a partition into disjoint subsets and a bijection between and the sectors of the (p,q)-minimal model such that the fusion rules correspond to where .     

On the Product of Real Spectral Triples

The product of two real spectral triples and , the first of which is necessarily even, was defined by A.Connes as given by and, in the even-even case, by . Generically it is assumed that the real structure obeys the relations , , , where the -sign table depends on the dimension n modulo 8 of the spectral triple. If both spectral triples obey Connes' >-sign table, it is seen that their product, defined in the straightforward way above, does not necessarily obey this -sign table. In this Letter, we propose an alternative definition of the product real structure such that the -sign table is also satisfied by the product.     

Quantum principal commutative subalgebra in the nilpotent part ofU_q \widehat{sl}_2 and lattice KdV variables

We propose a quantum lattice version of B. Feigin and E. Frenkel's constructions, identifying the KdV differential polynomials with functions on a homogeneous space under the nilpotent part of . We construct an action of the nilpotent part of on their lattice counterparts, and embed the lattice variables in a , coinduced from a quantum version of the principal commutative subalgebra, which is defined using the identification of with its dual algebra.     

Differentiable structure for direct limit groups

A direct limit of (finite-dimensional) Lie groups has Lie algebra and exponential map exp _G : gG. BothG and g carry natural topologies.G is a topological group, and g is a topological Lie algebra with a natural structure of real analytic manifold. In this Letter, we show how a special growth condition, natural in certain physical settings and satisfied by the usual direct limits of classical groups, ensures thatG carries an analytic group structure such that exp _G is a diffeomorphism from a certain open neighborhood of 0g onto an open neighborhood of 1 _G G. In the course of the argument, one sees that the structure sheaf for this analytic group structure coincides with the direct limit C (G ) of the sheaves of germs of analytic functions on theG .L.N. partially supported by a University of California Dissertation Year Fellowship.E.R.C. partially supported by N.S.F.

Deformation of current algebras in 3+1 dimensions

It was shown in an earlier paper that there is an Abelian extension of the general linear algebra gl ₂, that contains the current algebra with anomaly in 3+1 dimensions. We construct a three-parameter family of deformations of . For certain choices of the deformation parameters, we can construct unitary representations. We also construct highest-weight nonunitary representations for all choices of the parameters.This work was supported in part by U.S. Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76ER13065.     

A holomorphic field theory

Starting from conformal kinematics we show that the complex Minkowski space as a model of time-space is as good as the real one. A holomorphic field theory is constructed on and it is shown that real field theory is a linear approximation of the holomorphic one.     

SU q (2) covariant\hat R-matrices for reducible representations

We consider SU _q (2) covariant -matrices for the reducible3 1 representation. There are three solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. They coincide with the previously known -matrices for SO _q (3) and SO _q (3, 1). Also, they are the three -matrices which can be constructed by using four different SU _q (2) doublets. Only two of the three -matrices allow a differential structure on the reducible four-dimensional quantum space.     

On parity,charge-conjugation and time-reversal violation in relativistic classical non-linear field theory

A constructive definition of parity, charge-conjugation and time-reversal operations for both a relativistic system of self-interacting classical Bose field and a relativistic two massive Fermi fields with vector-axial vector interaction is given. The in and out discrete operations are explicitely constructed and a simple dynamical mechanism of violation of these symmetries is suggested.The connection between operation and the dynamical operation is elucidated. It is shown that the identification of with the product is a matter of definition. Moreover, there exists a choice in the definition of (e.g.) such that is dynamically violated.Possible implications in particle physics are also indicated.Partially supported by NSF grant No. GF-41958.     

Poisson Structures for Dispersionless Integrable Systems and Associated W-Algebras

In analogy to the KP theory, the second Poisson structure for the dispersionless KP hierarchy can be defined on the space of commutative pseudodifferential operators . The reduction of the Poisson structure to the symplectic submanifold gives rise to W-algebras. In this Letter, we discuss properties of this Poisson structure, its Miura transformation and reductions. We are particularly interested in the following two cases: (a) L is pure polynomial in p with multiple roots and (b) L has multiple poles at finite distance. The w-algebra corresponding to the case (a) is defined as , where means the multiplicity of roots and to the case (b) is defined by where is the multiplicity of poles. We prove that -algebra is isomorphic via a transformation to U(1) with m= . We also give the explicit free fields representations for these W-algebras.     

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     

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.     

Superconformal current algebras and their unitary representations

A natural supersymmetric extension is defined of the current (= affine Kac-Moody Lie) algebra ; it corresponds to a superconformal and chiral invariant 2-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT), and hence appears as an ingredient in superstring models. All unitary irreducible positive energy representations of are constructed. They extend to unitary representations of the semidirect sumS (G) of with the superconformal algebra of Neveu-Schwarz, for , or of Ramond, for =0.On leave of absence from the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, BG-1184 Sofia, Bulgaria
