Realisations of GLp,q(2)GL_{p,q}(2) quantum group and its coloured extension through a novel Hopf algebra with five generators

A novel Hopf algebra $( {\tilde G}_{r,s} )$, depending on two deformation parameters and five generators, has been constructed. This ${\tilde G}_{r,s}$ Hopf algebra might be considered as some quantisation of classical $GL(2) \otimes GL(1)$ group, which contains the standard $GL_q(2)$ quantum group (with $q=r^{-1}$) as a Hopf subalgebra. However, we interestingly observe that the two parameter deformed $GL_{p,q}(2)$ quantum group can also be realised through the generators of this ${\tilde G}_{r,s}$ algebra, provided the sets of deformation parameters $p,~q$ and $r,~s$ are related to each other in a particular fashion. Subsequently we construct the invariant noncommutative planes associated with ${\tilde G}_{r,s}$ algebra and show how the two well known Manin planes corresponding to $GL_{p,q}(2)$ quantum group can easily be reproduced through such construction. Finally we consider the `coloured' extension of $GL_{p,q}(2)$ quantum group as well as corresponding Manin planes and explore their intimate connection with the `coloured' extension of ${\tilde G}_{r,s}$ Hopf structure.Comment: 24 page

Fractional statistics in some exactly solvable Calogero-like models with PT invariant interactions

Here we review a method for constructing exact eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a many-particle quantum system, which is obtained by adding some nonhermitian but PT invariant (i.e., combined parity and time reversal invariant) interaction to the Calogero model. It is shown that such extended Calogero model leads to a real spectrum obeying generalised exclusion statistics. It is also found that the corresponding exchange statistics parameter differs from the exclusion statistics parameter and exhibits a `reflection symmetry' provided the strength of the PT invariant interaction exceeds a critical value.Comment: 8 pages, Latex, Talk given at Joint APCTP-Nankai Symposium, Tianjin (China), Oct. 200

Algebraic aspect and construction of Lax operators in quantum integrable systems

An algebraic construction more general and intimately connected with that of Faddeev$^1$, along with its application for generating different classes of quantum integrable models are summarised to complement the recent results of ref. 1 ( L.D. Faddeev, {\it Int. J. Mod. Phys. } {\bf A10}, 1845 (1995) ).Comment: 8 pages, plain TEX, no figure

Super Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomials associated with BCNBC_N type of Polychronakos spin chains

As is well known, multivariate Rogers-Szeg\"o polynomials are closely connected with the partition functions of the $A_{N-1}$ type of Polychronakos spin chains having long-range interactions. Applying the `freezing trick', here we derive the partition functions for a class of $BC_N$ type of Polychronakos spin chains containing supersymmetric analogues of polarized spin reversal operators and subsequently use those partition functions to obtain novel multivariate super Rogers-Szeg\"o (SRS) polynomials depending on four types of variables. We construct the generating functions for such SRS polynomials and show that these polynomials can be written as some bilinear combinations of the $A_{N-1}$ type of SRS polynomials. We also use the above mentioned generating functions to derive a set of recursion relations for the partition functions of the $BC_N$ type of Polychronakos spin chains involving different numbers of lattice sites and internal degrees of freedom.Comment: 33 pages, minor typos corrected, journal reference give

Nilpotent Completely Positive Maps

We study the structure of nilpotent completely positive maps in terms of Choi-Kraus coefficients. We prove several inequalities, including certain majorization type inequalities for dimensions of kernels of powers of nilpotent completely positive maps.Comment: 10 page
