Graph C*-algebras and Z/2Z-quotients of quantum spheres

We consider two Z/2Z-actions on the Podles generic quantum spheres. They yield, as noncommutative quotient spaces, the Klimek-Lesniewski q-disc and the quantum real projective space, respectively. The C*-algebras of all these quantum spaces are described as graph C*-algebras. The K-groups of the thus presented C*-algebras are then easily determined from the general theory of graph C*-algebras. For the quantum real projective space, we also recall the classification of the classes of irreducible *-representations of its algebra and give a linear basis for this algebra.Comment: 8 pages, latex2

On a q-analog of the Wallach-Okounkov formula

We obtain a $q$-analog of the well known Wallach-Okounkov result on a joint spectrum of invariant differential operators with polynomial coefficients on a prehomogeneous vector space of complex $n \times n$-matrices. We are motivated by applications to the problems of harmonic analysis in the quantum matrix ball: our main theorem can be used while proving the Plancherel formula (to be published). This paper is dedicated to our friend and colleague Dmitry Shklyarov who celebrates his 30-th birthday on April 8, 2006.Comment: 10 pages, corrected minor misprint

Spherical principal series of quantum Harish-Chandra modules

The non-degenerate spherical principal series of quantum Harish-Chandra modules is constructed. These modules appear in the theory of quantum bounded symmertic domains.Comment: 14 page

Quantum Spheres for OSp_q(1/2)

Using the corepresentation of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2) a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. In particular, a one-parameter family of covariant algebras, which may be interpreted as noncommutative superspheres, is constructed. It is observed that embedding of the supersphere in the OSp_q(1/2) algebra is possible. This realization admits infinitesimal characterization a la Koornwinder. A covariant oscillator realization of the supersphere is also presented.Comment: 30pages, no figure. to be published in J. Math. Phy
