The second cohomology of sl(m|1) with coefficients in its enveloping algebra is trivial
Using techniques developed in a recent article by the authors, it is proved
that the 2-cohomology of the Lie superalgebra sl(m|1); m > 1, with coefficients
in its enveloping algebra is trivial. The obstacles in solving the analogous
problem for sl(3|2) are also discussed.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, no figure
Finite Chains with Quantum Affine Symmetries
We consider an extension of the (t-U) Hubbard model taking into account new
interactions between the numbers of up and down electrons. We confine ourselves
to a one-dimensional open chain with L sites (4^L states) and derive the
effective Hamiltonian in the strong repulsion (large U) regime. This
Hamiltonian acts on 3^L states. We show that the spectrum of the latter
Hamiltonian (not the degeneracies) coincides with the spectrum of the
anisotropic Heisenberg chain (XXZ model) in the presence of a Z field (2^L
states). The wave functions of the 3^L-state system are obtained explicitly
from those of the 2^L-state system, and the degeneracies can be understood in
terms of irreducible representations of U_q(\hat{sl(2)}).Comment: 31pp, Latex, CERN-TH.6935/93. To app. in Int. Jour. Mod. Phys. A.

Invariant integration on classical and quantum Lie supergroups
Invariant integrals on Hopf superalgebras, in particular, the classical and quantum Lie supergroups, are studied. The uniqueness ~up to scalar multiples! of a left integral is proved, and a Z2-graded version of Maschke’s theorem is discussed. A construction of left integrals is developed for classical and quantum Lie supergroups. Applied to several classes of examples the construction yields the left integrals in explicit form
Classification of N=6 superconformal theories of ABJM type
Studying the supersymmetry enhancement mechanism of Aharony, Bergman,
Jafferis and Maldacena, we find a simple condition on the gauge group
generators for the matter fields. We analyze all possible compact Lie groups
and their representations. The only allowed gauge groups leading to the
manifest N=6 supersymmetry are, up to discrete quotients, SU(n) x U(1), Sp(n) x
U(1), SU(n) x SU(n), and SU(n) x SU(m) x U(1) with possibly additional U(1)'s.
Matter representations are restricted to be the (bi)fundamentals. As a
byproduct we obtain another proof of the complete classification of the three
algebras considered by Bagger and Lambert.Comment: 18 page
Tensor operators and Wigner-Eckart theorem for the quantum superalgebra U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)]
Tensor operators in graded representations of Z_{2}-graded Hopf algebras are
defined and their elementary properties are derived. Wigner-Eckart theorem for
irreducible tensor operators for U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] is proven. Examples of
tensor operators in the irreducible representation space of Hopf algebra
U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] are considered. The reduced matrix elements for the
irreducible tensor operators are calculated. A construction of some elements of
the center of U_{q}[osp(1\mid 2)] is given.Comment: 16 pages, Late
Gel'fand-Zetlin Basis and Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients for Covariant Representations of the Lie superalgebra gl(m|n)
A Gel'fand-Zetlin basis is introduced for the irreducible covariant tensor
representations of the Lie superalgebra gl(m|n). Explicit expressions for the
generators of the Lie superalgebra acting on this basis are determined.
Furthermore, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients corresponding to the tensor product of
any covariant tensor representation of gl(m|n) with the natural representation
V ([1,0,...,0]) of gl(m|n) with highest weight (1,0,. . . ,0) are computed.
Both results are steps for the explicit construction of the parastatistics Fock
space.Comment: 16 page
Cohomology of Lie superalgebras and of their generalizations
The cohomology groups of Lie superalgebras and, more generally, of color Lie
algebras, are introduced and investigated. The main emphasis is on the case
where the module of coefficients is non-trivial. Two general propositions are
proved, which help to calculate the cohomology groups. Several examples are
included to show the peculiarities of the super case. For L = sl(1|2), the
cohomology groups H^1(L,V) and H^2(L,V), with V a finite-dimensional simple
graded L-module, are determined, and the result is used to show that
H^2(L,U(L)) (with U(L) the enveloping algebra of L) is trivial. This implies
that the superalgebra U(L) does not admit of any non-trivial formal
deformations (in the sense of Gerstenhaber). Garland's theory of universal
central extensions of Lie algebras is generalized to the case of color Lie
algebras.Comment: 50 pages, Latex, no figures. In the revised version the proof of
Lemma 5.1 is greatly simplified, some references are added, and a pertinent
result on sl(m|1) is announced. To appear in the Journal of Mathematical
