Differential Calculus on qq-Deformed Light-Cone

We propose the ``short'' version of q-deformed differential calculus on the light-cone using twistor representation. The commutation relations between coordinates and momenta are obtained. The quasi-classical limit introduced gives an exact shape of the off-shell shifting.Comment: 11 pages, Standard LaTeX 2.0

Differential Calculus on the Quantum Superspace and Deformation of Phase Space

We investigate non-commutative differential calculus on the supersymmetric version of quantum space where the non-commuting super-coordinates consist of bosonic as well as fermionic (Grassmann) coordinates. Multi-parametric quantum deformation of the general linear supergroup, $GL_q(m|n)$, is studied and the explicit form for the ${\hat R}$-matrix, which is the solution of the Yang-Baxter equation, is presented. We derive the quantum-matrix commutation relation of $GL_q(m|n)$ and the quantum superdeterminant. We apply these results for the $GL_q(m|n)$ to the deformed phase-space of supercoordinates and their momenta, from which we construct the ${\hat R}$-matrix of q-deformed orthosymplectic group $OSp_q(2n|2m)$ and calculate its ${\hat R}$-matrix. Some detailed argument for quantum super-Clifford algebras and the explict expression of the ${\hat R}$-matrix will be presented for the case of $OSp_q(2|2)$.Comment: 17 pages, KUCP-4

Quantum Deformed su(m∣n)su(m|n) Algebra and Superconformal Algebra on Quantum Superspace

We study a deformed $su(m|n)$ algebra on a quantum superspace. Some interesting aspects of the deformed algebra are shown. As an application of the deformed algebra we construct a deformed superconformal algebra. {}From the deformed $su(1|4)$ algebra, we derive deformed Lorentz, translation of Minkowski space, $iso(2,2)$ and its supersymmetric algebras as closed subalgebras with consistent automorphisms.Comment: 27 pages, KUCP-59, LaTeX fil

Representations of the quantum matrix algebra Mq,p(2)M_{q,p}(2)

It is shown that the finite dimensional irreducible representaions of the quantum matrix algebra $M_{ q,p}(2)$ ( the coordinate ring of $GL_{q,p}(2)$) exist only when both q and p are roots of unity. In this case th e space of states has either the topology of a torus or a cylinder which may be thought of as generalizations of cyclic representations.Comment: 20 page

On a nonstandard two-parametric quantum algebra and its connections with Up,q(gl(2))U_{p,q}(gl(2)) and Up,q(gl(1∣1))U_{p,q}(gl(1|1))

A quantum algebra $U_{p,q}(\zeta ,H,X_\pm )$ associated with a nonstandard $R$-matrix with two deformation parameters$(p,q)$ is studied and, in particular, its universal ${\cal R}$-matrix is derived using Reshetikhin's method. Explicit construction of the $(p,q)$-dependent nonstandard $R$-matrix is obtained through a coloured generalized boson realization of the universal ${\cal R}$-matrix of the standard $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ corresponding to a nongeneric case. General finite dimensional coloured representation of the universal ${\cal R}$-matrix of $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ is also derived. This representation, in nongeneric cases, becomes a source for various $(p,q)$-dependent nonstandard $R$-matrices. Superization of $U_{p,q}(\zeta , H,X_\pm )$ leads to the super-Hopf algebra $U_{p,q}(gl(1|1))$. A contraction procedure then yields a $(p,q)$-deformed super-Heisenberg algebra $U_{p,q}(sh(1))$ and its universal ${\cal R}$-matrix.Comment: 17pages, LaTeX, Preprint No. imsc-94/43 Revised version: A note added at the end of the paper correcting and clarifying the bibliograph

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

Duality for the Jordanian Matrix Quantum Group GLg,h(2)GL_{g,h}(2)

We find the Hopf algebra $U_{g,h}$ dual to the Jordanian matrix quantum group $GL_{g,h}(2)$. As an algebra it depends only on the sum of the two parameters and is split in two subalgebras: $U'_{g,h}$ (with three generators) and $U(Z)$ (with one generator). The subalgebra $U(Z)$ is a central Hopf subalgebra of $U_{g,h}$. The subalgebra $U'_{g,h}$ is not a Hopf subalgebra and its coalgebra structure depends on both parameters. We discuss also two one-parameter special cases: $g =h$ and $g=-h$. The subalgebra $U'_{h,h}$ is a Hopf algebra and coincides with the algebra introduced by Ohn as the dual of $SL_h(2)$. The subalgebra $U'_{-h,h}$ is isomorphic to $U(sl(2))$ as an algebra but has a nontrivial coalgebra structure and again is not a Hopf subalgebra of $U_{-h,h}$.Comment: plain TeX with harvmac, 16 pages, added Appendix implementing the ACC nonlinear ma

q-Deformed quaternions and su(2) instantons

We have recently introduced the notion of a q-quaternion bialgebra and shown its strict link with the SO_q(4)-covariant quantum Euclidean space R_q^4. Adopting the available differential geometric tools on the latter and the quaternion language we have formulated and found solutions of the (anti)selfduality equation [instantons and multi-instantons] of a would-be deformed su(2) Yang-Mills theory on this quantum space. The solutions depend on some noncommuting parameters, indicating that the moduli space of a complete theory should be a noncommutative manifold. We summarize these results and add an explicit comparison between the two SO_q(4)-covariant differential calculi on R_q^4 and the two 4-dimensional bicovariant differential calculi on the bi- (resp. Hopf) algebras M_q(2),GL_q(2),SU_q(2), showing that they essentially coincide.Comment: Latex file, 18 page
