Products, coproducts and singular value decomposition
Products and coproducts may be recognized as morphisms in a monoidal tensor
category of vector spaces. To gain invariant data of these morphisms, we can
use singular value decomposition which attaches singular values, ie generalized
eigenvalues, to these maps. We show, for the case of Grassmann and Clifford
products, that twist maps significantly alter these data reducing degeneracies.
Since non group like coproducts give rise to non classical behavior of the
algebra of functions, ie make them noncommutative, we hope to be able to learn
more about such geometries. Remarkably the coproduct for positive singular
values of eigenvectors in yields directly corresponding eigenvectors in
A\otimes A.Comment: 17 pages, three eps-figure
A Class of Bicovariant Differential Calculi on Hopf Algebras
We introduce a large class of bicovariant differential calculi on any quantum
group , associated to -invariant elements. For example, the deformed
trace element on recovers Woronowicz' calculus. More
generally, we obtain a sequence of differential calculi on each quantum group
, based on the theory of the corresponding braided groups . Here
is any regular solution of the QYBE.Comment: 16 page
Noncommutative fields and actions of twisted Poincare algebra
Within the context of the twisted Poincar\'e algebra, there exists no
noncommutative analogue of the Minkowski space interpreted as the homogeneous
space of the Poincar\'e group quotiented by the Lorentz group. The usual
definition of commutative classical fields as sections of associated vector
bundles on the homogeneous space does not generalise to the noncommutative
setting, and the twisted Poincar\'e algebra does not act on noncommutative
fields in a canonical way. We make a tentative proposal for the definition of
noncommutative classical fields of any spin over the Moyal space, which has the
desired representation theoretical properties. We also suggest a way to search
for noncommutative Minkowski spaces suitable for studying noncommutative field
theory with deformed Poincar\'e symmetries.Comment: 20 page
The Hopf modules category and the Hopf equation
We study the Hopf equation which is equivalent to the pentagonal equation,
from operator algebras. A FRT type theorem is given and new types of quantum
groups are constructed. The key role is played now by the classical Hopf
modules category. As an application, a five dimensional noncommutative
noncocommutative bialgebra is given.Comment: 30 pages, Letax2e, Comm. Algebra in pres
All bicovariant differential calculi on Glq(3,C) and SLq(3,C)
All bicovariant first order differential calculi on the quantum group
GLq(3,C) are determined. There are two distinct one-parameter families of
calculi. In terms of a suitable basis of 1-forms the commutation relations can
be expressed with the help of the R-matrix of GLq(3,C). Some calculi induce
bicovariant differential calculi on SLq(3,C) and on real forms of GLq(3,C). For
generic deformation parameter q there are six calculi on SLq(3,C), on SUq(3)
there are only two. The classical limit q-->1 of bicovariant calculi on
SLq(3,C) is not the ordinary calculus on SL(3,C). One obtains a deformation of
it which involves the Cartan-Killing metric.Comment: 24 pages, LaTe
Twist Deformations of the Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
The N-extended Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics is deformed via an abelian
twist which preserves the super-Hopf algebra structure of its Universal
Enveloping Superalgebra. Two constructions are possible. For even N one can
identify the 1D N-extended superalgebra with the fermionic Heisenberg algebra.
Alternatively, supersymmetry generators can be realized as operators belonging
to the Universal Enveloping Superalgebra of one bosonic and several fermionic
oscillators. The deformed system is described in terms of twisted operators
satisfying twist-deformed (anti)commutators. The main differences between an
abelian twist defined in terms of fermionic operators and an abelian twist
defined in terms of bosonic operators are discussed.Comment: 18 pages; two references adde
On Quantum Lie Algebras and Quantum Root Systems
As a natural generalization of ordinary Lie algebras we introduce the concept
of quantum Lie algebras . We define these in terms of certain
adjoint submodules of quantized enveloping algebras endowed with a
quantum Lie bracket given by the quantum adjoint action. The structure
constants of these algebras depend on the quantum deformation parameter and
they go over into the usual Lie algebras when .
The notions of q-conjugation and q-linearity are introduced. q-linear
analogues of the classical antipode and Cartan involution are defined and a
generalised Killing form, q-linear in the first entry and linear in the second,
is obtained. These structures allow the derivation of symmetries between the
structure constants of quantum Lie algebras.
The explicitly worked out examples of and illustrate the
results.Comment: 22 pages, latex, version to appear in J. Phys. A. see

A Hopf laboratory for symmetric functions
An analysis of symmetric function theory is given from the perspective of the
underlying Hopf and bi-algebraic structures. These are presented explicitly in
terms of standard symmetric function operations. Particular attention is
focussed on Laplace pairing, Sweedler cohomology for 1- and 2-cochains, and
twisted products (Rota cliffordizations) induced by branching operators in the
symmetric function context. The latter are shown to include the algebras of
symmetric functions of orthogonal and symplectic type. A commentary on related
issues in the combinatorial approach to quantum field theory is given.Comment: 29 pages, LaTeX, uses amsmat
On the trace of the antipode and higher indicators
We introduce two kinds of gauge invariants for any finite-dimensional Hopf
algebra H. When H is semisimple over C, these invariants are respectively, the
trace of the map induced by the antipode on the endomorphism ring of a
self-dual simple module, and the higher Frobenius-Schur indicators of the
regular representation. We further study the values of these higher indicators
in the context of complex semisimple quasi-Hopf algebras H. We prove that these
indicators are non-negative provided the module category over H is modular, and
that for a prime p, the p-th indicator is equal to 1 if, and only if, p is a
factor of dim H. As an application, we show the existence of a non-trivial
self-dual simple H-module with bounded dimension which is determined by the
value of the second indicator.Comment: additional references, fixed some typos, minor additions including a

On boson algebras as Hopf algebras
Certain types of generalized undeformed and deformed boson algebras which
admit a Hopf algebra structure are introduced, together with their Fock-type
representations and their corresponding -matrices. It is also shown that a
class of generalized Heisenberg algebras including those algebras including
those underlying physical models such as that of Calogero-Sutherland, is
isomorphic with one of the types of boson algebra proposed, and can be
formulated as a Hopf algebra.Comment: LaTex, 18 page
