Minimal Affinizations of Representations of Quantum Groups: the simply--laced case

We continue our study of minimal affinizations for algebras of type D, E.Comment: 25 page

Extended T-systems

We use the theory of q-characters to establish a number of short exact sequences in the category of finite-dimensional representations of the quantum affine groups of types A and B. That allows us to introduce a set of 3-term recurrence relations which contains the celebrated T-system as a special case.Comment: 36 pages, latex; v2: version to appear in Selecta Mathematic

On multigraded generalizations of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules

We study the category of Z^l-graded modules with finite-dimensional graded pieces for certain Z+^l-graded Lie algebras. We also consider certain Serre subcategories with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We construct projective resolutions for the simple modules in these categories and compute the Ext groups between simple modules. We show that the projective covers of the simple modules in these Serre subcategories can be regarded as multigraded generalizations of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and give a recursive formula for computing their graded characters

Equivariant map superalgebras

Suppose a group $\Gamma$ acts on a scheme $X$ and a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of equivariant regular maps from $X$ to $\mathfrak{g}$. We classify the irreducible finite dimensional modules for these superalgebras under the assumptions that the coordinate ring of $X$ is finitely generated, $\Gamma$ is finite abelian and acts freely on the rational points of $X$, and $\mathfrak{g}$ is a basic classical Lie superalgebra (or $\mathfrak{sl}(n,n)$, $n > 0$, if $\Gamma$ is trivial). We show that they are all (tensor products of) generalized evaluation modules and are parameterized by a certain set of equivariant finitely supported maps defined on $X$. Furthermore, in the case that the even part of $\mathfrak{g}$ is semisimple, we show that all such modules are in fact (tensor products of) evaluation modules. On the other hand, if the even part of $\mathfrak{g}$ is not semisimple (more generally, if $\mathfrak{g}$ is of type I), we introduce a natural generalization of Kac modules and show that all irreducible finite dimensional modules are quotients of these. As a special case, our results give the first classification of the irreducible finite dimensional modules for twisted loop superalgebras.Comment: 27 pages. v2: Section numbering changed to match published version.

On the Correspondence between Poincar\'e Symmetry of Commutative QFT and Twisted Poincar\'e Symmetry of Noncommutative QFT

The space-time symmetry of noncommutative quantum field theories with a deformed quantization is described by the twisted Poincar\'e algebra, while that of standard commutative quantum field theories is described by the Poincar\'e algebra. Based on the equivalence of the deformed theory with a commutative field theory, the correspondence between the twisted Poincar\'e symmetry of the deformed theory and the Poincar\'e symmetry of a commutative theory is established. As a by-product, we obtain the conserved charge associated with the twisted Poincar\'e transformation to make the twisted Poincar\'e symmetry evident in the deformed theory. Our result implies that the equivalence between the commutative theory and the deformed theory holds in a deeper level, i.e., it holds not only in correlation functions but also in (different types of) symmetries.Comment: 13 pages, minor corrections, version to appear in Phys.

Minimal affinizations as projective objects

We prove that the specialization to q=1 of a Kirillov-Reshetikhin module for an untwisted quantum affine algebra of classical type is projective in a suitable category. This yields a uniform character formula for the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules. We conjecture that these results holds for specializations of minimal affinization with some restriction on the corresponding highest weight. We discuss the connection with the conjecture of Nakai and Nakanishi on q-characters of minimal affinizations. We establish this conjecture in some special cases. This also leads us to conjecture an alternating sum formula for Jacobi-Trudi determinants.Comment: 25 page

Many-spinon states and the secret significance of Young tableaux

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between the Young tableaux classifying the total spin representations of N spins and the exact eigenstates of the the Haldane-Shastry model for a chain with N sites classified by the total spins and the fractionally spaced single-particle momenta of the spinons.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
