On Some Lie Bialgebra Structures on Polynomial Algebras and their Quantization

We study classical twists of Lie bialgebra structures on the polynomial current algebra $\mathfrak{g}[u]$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra. We focus on the structures induced by the so-called quasi-trigonometric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. It turns out that quasi-trigonometric $r$-matrices fall into classes labelled by the vertices of the extended Dynkin diagram of $\mathfrak{g}$. We give complete classification of quasi-trigonometric $r$-matrices belonging to multiplicity free simple roots (which have coefficient 1 in the decomposition of the maximal root). We quantize solutions corresponding to the first root of $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$.Comment: 41 pages, LATE

Convex Bases of PBW type for Quantum Affine Algebras

This note has two purposes. First we establish that the map defined in [L, $\S 40.2.5$ (a)] is an isomorphism for certain admissible sequences. Second we show the map gives rise to a convex basis of Poincar\'e--Birkhoff--Witt (PBW) type for \bup, an affine untwisted quantized enveloping algebra of Drinfel$'$d and Jimbo. The computations in this paper are made possible by extending the usual braid group action by certain outer automorphisms of the algebra.Comment: 7 pages, to appear in Comm. Math. Phy

Cremmer-Gervais r-matrices and the Cherednik Algebras of type GL2

We give an intepretation of the Cremmer-Gervais r-matrices for sl(n) in terms of actions of elements in the rational and trigonometric Cherednik algebras of type GL2 on certain subspaces of their polynomial representations. This is used to compute the nilpotency index of the Jordanian r-matrices, thus answering a question of Gerstenhaber and Giaquinto. We also give an interpretation of the Cremmer-Gervais quantization in terms of the corresponding double affine Hecke algebra.Comment: 6 page

Weakly coupled N=4 Super Yang-Mills and N=6 Chern-Simons theories from u(2|2) Yangian symmetry

In this paper we derive the universal R-matrix for the Yangian Y(u(2|2)), which is an abstract algebraic object leading to rational solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation on representations. We find that on the fundamental representation the universal R-matrix reduces to the standard rational R-matrix R = R_0(1 + P/u), where the scalar prefactor is surprisingly simple compared to prefactors one finds e.g. for sl(n) R-matrices. This leads precisely to the S-matrix giving the Bethe Ansatz of one-loop N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory and two-loop N = 6 Chern-Simons theory.Comment: 16 page

Finite-dimensional representations of the quantum superalgebra Uq[gl(n/m)]U_q[gl(n/m)] and related q-identities

Explicit expressions for the generators of the quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(n/m)]$ acting on a class of irreducible representations are given. The class under consideration consists of all essentially typical representations: for these a Gel'fand-Zetlin basis is known. The verification of the quantum superalgebra relations to be satisfied is shown to reduce to a set of $q$-number identities.Comment: 12 page

Two-parameter Quantum Affine Algebra Ur,s(sln^)U_{r,s}(\widehat{\frak {sl}_n}), Drinfel'd Realization and Quantum Affine Lyndon Basis

We further define two-parameter quantum affine algebra $U_{r,s}(\widehat{\frak {sl}_n})$ $(n>2)$ after the work on the finite cases (see [BW1], [BGH1], [HS] & [BH]), which turns out to be a Drinfel'd double. Of importance for the quantum {\it affine} cases is that we can work out the compatible two-parameter version of the Drinfel'd realization as a quantum affinization of $U_{r,s}(\frak{sl}_n)$ and establish the Drinfel'd isomorphism Theorem in the two-parameter setting, via developing a new combinatorial approach (quantum calculation) to the quantum {\it affine} Lyndon basis we present (with an explicit valid algorithm based on the use of Drinfel'd generators).Comment: 31 page

Once again about quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra: twistings of q-deformation

This paper together with the previous one (arXiv:hep-th/0604146) presents the detailed description of all quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra as Hopf algebra in terms of complex and real generators. We describe here in detail two quantum deformations of the D=4 Lorentz algebra o(3,1) obtained by twisting of the standard q-deformation U_{q}(o(3,1)). For the first twisted q-deformation an Abelian twist depending on Cartan generators of o(3,1) is used. The second example of twisting provides a quantum deformation of Cremmer-Gervais type for the Lorentz algebra. For completeness we describe also twisting of the Lorentz algebra by standard Jordanian twist. By twist quantization techniques we obtain for these deformations new explicit formulae for the deformed coproducts and antipodes of the o(3,1)-generators.Comment: 17 page

Coherent States for Quantum Compact Groups

Coherent states are introduced and their properties are discussed for all simple quantum compact groups. The multiplicative form of the canonical element for the quantum double is used to introduce the holomorphic coordinates on a general quantum dressing orbit and interpret the coherent state as a holomorphic function on this orbit with values in the carrier Hilbert space of an irreducible representation of the corresponding quantized enveloping algebra. Using Gauss decomposition, the commutation relations for the holomorphic coordinates on the dressing orbit are derived explicitly and given in a compact R--matrix formulation (generalizing this way the $q$--deformed Grassmann and flag manifolds). The antiholomorphic realization of the irreducible representations of a compact quantum group (the analogue of the Borel--Weil construction) are described using the concept of coherent state. The relation between representation theory and non--commutative differential geometry is suggested.}Comment: 25 page

Deformation of Yangian Y(sl(2))

A quantization of a non-standard rational solution of CYBE for sit is given explicitly. We obtain the quantization with the help of a twisting of the usual Yangian Y (sl(2)). This quantum object (deformed Yangian Y-eta,Y-xi(sl(2))) is a two-parametric deformation of the universal enveloping algebra U(sl(2)[u]) of the polynomial current algebra sl(2)[u]. We consider the pseudotriangular structure on Y-eta,Y-xi(sl(2)), the quantum double DYeta,xi(sl(2)), its the universal R-matrix and also the RTT-realization of Y-eta,Y-xi(sl(2))
