The multigraded Nijenhuis-Richardson Algebra, its universal property and application
math.QA
We define two $(n+1)$ graded Lie brackets on spaces of multilinear mappings. The first one is able to recognize $n$-graded associative algebras and their modules and gives immediately the correct differential for Hochschild cohomology. The second one recognizes $n$-graded Lie algebra structures and their modules and gives rise to the notion of Chevalley cohomology.

Towards the Chern-Weil homomormism in non-commutative differential geometry
math.QA
In this short review article we sketch some developments which should ultimately lead to the analogy of the Chern-Weil homomorphism for principal bundles in the realm of non-commutative differential geometry. Principal bundles there should have Hopf algebras as structure `cogroups'. Since the usual machinery of Lie algebras, connection forms, etc\., just is not available in this setting, we base our approach on the Fr\"olicher--Nijenhuis bracket.

Jaeger's Higman-Sims state model and the B_2 spider
math.QA
Jaeger [Geom. Dedicata 44 (1992), 23-52] discovered a remarkable checkerboard state model based on the Higman-Sims graph that yields a value of the Kauffman polynomial, which is a quantum invariant of links. We present a simple argument that the state model has the desired properties using the combinatorial $B_2$ spider [Comm. Math. Phys. 180 (1996), 109-151].

Quantum and braided diffeomorphism groups
math.QA
We develop a general theory of `quantum' diffeomorphism groups based on the universal comeasuring quantum group $M(A)$ associated to an algebra $A$ and its various quotients. Explicit formulae are introduced for this construction, as well as dual quasitriangular and braided R-matrix versions. Among the examples, we construct the $q$-diffeomorphisms of the quantum plane $yx=qxy$, and recover the quantum matrices $M_q(2)$ as those respecting its braided group addition law.

Hamiltonian Reduction and the Construction of q-Deformed Extensions of the Virasoro Algebra
math.QA
In this paper we employ the construction of Dirac bracket for the remaining current of $sl(2)_q$ deformed Kac-Moody algebra when constraints similar to those connecting the $sl(2)$-WZW model and the Liouville theory are imposed and show that it satisfy the q-Virasoro algebra proposed by Frenkel and Reshetikhin. The crucial assumption considered in our calculation is the existence of a classical Poisson bracket algebra induced, in a consistent manner by the correspondence principle, mapping the quantum generators into commuting objects of classical nature preserving their algebra.

"Wick Rotations": The Noncommutative Hyperboloids, and other surfaces of rotations
math.QA
A ``Wick rotation'' is applied to the noncommutative sphere to produce a noncommutative version of the hyperboloids. A harmonic basis of the associated algebra is given. It is noted that, for the one sheeted hyperboloid, the vector space for the noncommutative algebra can be completed to a Hilbert space, where multiplication is not continuous. A method of constructing noncommutative analogues of surfaces of rotation, examples of which include the paraboloid and the $q$-deformed sphere, is given. Also given are mappings between noncommutative surfaces, stereographic projections to the complex plane and unitary representations. A relationship with one dimensional crystals is highlighted.

Some examples of quantum groups in higher genus
math.QA
This is a survey of our construction of current algebras, associated with complex curves and rational differentials. We also study in detail two classes of examples. The first is the case of a rational curve with differentials $z^n dz$; these algebras are ``building blocks'' for the quantum current algebras introduced in our earlier work. The second is the case of a genus $>1$ curve $X$, endowed with a regular differential having only double zeroes.

Quantization of Lie bialgebras, IV
math.QA
This paper is a continuation of "Quantization of Lie bialgebras, III" (q-alg/9610030, revised version). In QLB-III, we introduced the Hopf algebra F(R)_\z associated to a quantum R-matrix R(z) with a spectral parameter, and a set of points \z=(z_1,...,z_n). This algebra is generated by entries of a matrix power series T_i(u), i=1,...,n,subject to Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan type commutation relations, and is a quantization of the group GL_N[[t]]. In this paper we consider the quotient F_0(R)_\z of F(R)_\z by the relations \qdet_R(T_i)=1, where \qdet_R is the quantum determinant associated to R (for rational, trigonometric, or elliptic R-matrices). This is also a Hopf algebra, which is a quantization of the group SL_N[[t]]. This paper was inspired by the pioneering paper of I.Frenkel and Reshetikhin. The main goal of this paper is to study the representation theory of the algebra F_0(R)_\z and of its quantum double, and show how the consideration of coinvariants of this double (quantum conformal blocks) naturally leads to the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations of Frenkel and Reshetikhin. Our construction for the rational R-matrix is a quantum analogue of the standard derivation of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations in the Wess-Zumino-Witten model of conformal field theory, and for the elliptic R-matrix is a quantum analogue of the construction of Kuroki and Takebe. Our result is a generalization of the construction of Enriques and Felder, which appeared while this paper was in preparation. Enriques and Felder gave a derivation of the quantum KZ equations from coinvariants in the case of the rational R-matrix and N=2.

Set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation
math.QA
In 1992 V.Drinfeld formulated a number of problems in quantum group theory. In particular, he suggested to consider ``set-theoretical'' solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, i.e. solutions given by a permutation R of the set $X\times X$, where X is a fixed set. In this paper we study such solutions, which in addition satisfy the unitarity and nondegeneracy conditions. We discuss the geometric and algebraic interpretations of such solutions, introduce several constructions of them, and make first steps towards their classification.

The Aarhus integral of rational homology 3-spheres II: Invariance and universality
math.QA
We continue the work started in part I (q-alg/9706004) and prove the invariance and universality in the class of finite type invariants of the object defined and motivated there, namely the Aarhus integral of rational homology 3-spheres. Our main tool in proving invariance is a translation scheme that translates statements in multi-variable calculus (Gaussian integration, integration by parts, etc.) to statements about diagrams. Using this scheme the straight-forward "philosophical" calculus-level proofs of part I become straight-forward honest diagram-level proofs here. The universality proof is standard and utilizes a simple "locality" property of the Kontsevich integral.

Infinite Hopf family of elliptic algebras and bosonization
math.QA
Elliptic current algebras E_{q,p}(\hat{g}) for arbitrary simply laced finite dimensional Lie algebra g are defined and their co-algebraic structures are studied. It is shown that under the Drinfeld like comultiplications, the algebra E_{q,p}(\hat{g}) is not co-closed for any g. However putting the algebras E_{q,p}(\hat{g}) with different deformation parameters together, we can establish a structure of infinite Hopf family of algebras. The level 1 bosonic realization for the algebra E_{q,p}(\hat{g}) is also established.

Annihilating ideals and tilting functors
math.QA
We use Kazhdan-Lusztig tensoring to, first, describe annihilating ideals of highest weight modules over an affine Lie algebra in terms of the corresponding VOA and, second, to classify tilting functors, an affine analogue of projective functors known in the case of a simple Lie algebra. For the sake of completeness, the classification of annihilating ideals is borrowed from our previous work, q-alg/9711011; the part on tilting functors is new.

A General $q$-Oscillator Algebra

Quantized W-algebra of ${\frak sl}(2,1)$ : a construction from the quantization of screening operators
math.QA
Starting from bosonization, we study the operator that commute or commute up-to a total difference with of any quantized screen operator of a free field. We show that if there exists a operator in the form of a sum of two vertex operators which has the simplest correlation functions with the quantized screen operator, namely a function with one pole and one zero, then, the screen operator and this operator are uniquely determined, and this operator is the quantized virasoro algebra. For the case when the screen is a fermion, there are a family of this kind of operator, which give new algebraic structures. Similarly we study the case of two quantized screen operator, which uniquely gives us the quantized W-algebra corresponding to $sl(3)$ for the generic case, and a new algebra, which is a quantized W-algebra corresponding to ${\frak sl}(2,1)$, for the case that one of the two screening operators is or both are fermions.

Partial Gauss decomposition, \bf $U_q(\widehat{\frak{gl}(n-1)})\in U_q(\widehat{\frak{gl}(n)}) $ and Zamolodchikov algebra
math.QA
We use the idea of partial Gauss decomposition to study structures related to $U_q(\widehat{{{\frak{gl}}}(n-1)})$ inside $U_q(\widehat{{{\frak{gl}}}(n)}) $. This gives a description of $U_q(\widehat{{{\frak{gl}}}(n)})$ as an extension of $U_q(\widehat{{{\frak{gl}}}(n-1)})$ with Zamolodchikov algebras, We explain the connection of this new realization with form factors.

Cyclic operads and homology of graph complexes
math.QA
We will consider P-graph complexes, where P is a cyclic operad. P-graph complexes are natural generalizations of Kontsevich's graph complexes -- for P = the operad for associative algebras it is the complex of ribbon graphs, for P = the operad for commutative associative algebras, the complex of all graphs. We construct a `universal class' in the cohomology of the graph complex with coefficients in a theory. The Kontsevich-type invariant is then an evaluation, on a concrete cyclic algebra, of this class. We also explain some results of M. Penkava and A. Schwarz on the construction of an invariant from a cyclic deformation of a cyclic algebra. Our constructions are illustrated by a `toy model' of tree complexes.

As a corollary, we show that the abelian subcategories of C_B and C_F generated by tensor products of vector representations are equivalent.

On Semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension pq
math.QA
In this paper we consider some properties of semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension pq where p and q are distinct primes. These properties are useful for classification of such Hopf algebras. In particular, we show that for such a Hopf algebra H, if H and H^* are of Frobenius type then H or H^* is a group algebra.

Semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension pq are trivial
math.QA
Masuoka proved that for a prime p, semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 2p over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, are trivial (i.e. are either group algebras or the dual of group algebras). Westreich and the second author obtained the same result for dimension 3p, and then pushed the analysis further and among the rest obtained the same result for semisimple Hopf algebras H of dimension pq so that H and H^* are of Frobenius type (i.e. the dimensions of their irreducible representations divide the dimension of H). They concluded with the conjecture that any semisimple Hopf algebra H of dimension pq over k, is trivial. In this paper we use Theorem 1.4 in our previous paper q-alg/9712033 to prove that both H and H^* are of Frobenius type, and hence prove this conjecture.

On pointed Hopf algebras and Kaplansky's 10th conjecture
math.QA
In this paper we construct and study two new families of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras which generalize Radford's families. We show that over any infinite field which contains a primitive nth root of unity, one of the families contains infinitely many non-isomorphic Hopf algebras of any dimension of the form Nn^2, where 2<n<N are integers so that n divides N. We thus answer in the negative Kaplansky's 10th conjecture from 1975 on the finite number of types of Hopf algebras of a given dimension.

Exchange dynamical quantum groups
math.QA
For any simple Lie algebra g and any complex number q which is not zero or a nontrivial root of unity, we construct a dynamical quantum group (Hopf algebroid), whose representation theory is essentially the same as the representation theory of the quantum group U_q(g). This dynamical quantum group is obtained from the fusion and exchange relations between intertwining operators in representation theory of U_q(g), and is an algebraic structure standing behind these relations.

A quantum octonion algebra
math.QA
Using the natural irreducible 8-dimensional representation and the two spin representations of the quantum group $U_q$(D$_4$) of D$_4$, we construct a quantum analogue of the split octonions and study its properties. We prove that the quantum octonion algebra satisfies the q-Principle of Local Triality and has a nondegenerate bilinear form which satisfies a q-version of the composition property. By its construction, the quantum octonion algebra is a nonassociative algebra with a Yang-Baxter operator action coming from the R-matrix of $U_q$(D$_4$). The product in the quantum octonions is a $U_q$(D$_4$)-module homomorphism. Using that, we prove identities for the quantum octonions, and as a consequence, obtain at $q = 1$ new ``representation theory'' proofs for very well-known identities satisfied by the octonions. In the process of constructing the quantum octonions we introduce an algebra which is a q-analogue of the 8-dimensional para-Hurwitz algebra.

Yangian actions on higher level irreducible integrable modules of affine gl(N)
math.QA
An action of the Yangian of the general Lie algebra gl(N) is defined on every irreducible integrable highest weight module of affine gl(N) with level greater than 1. This action is derived, by means of the Drinfeld duality and a subsequent semi-infinite limit, from a certain induced representation of the degenerate double affine Hecke algebra H. Each vacuum module of affine gl(N) is decomposed into irreducible Yangian subrepresentations by means of the intertwiners of H. Components of this decomposition are parameterized by semi-infinite skew Young diagrams.

Braided Hopf algebras over non abelian finite groups
math.QA
This is a survey of general aspects of the theory of braided Hopf algebras with emphasis on a special class of braided graded Hopf algebras named tobas. The interest on tobas arises from problems of classification of pointed Hopf algebras. We discuss tobas from different points of view following ideas of Lusztig, Nichols and Schauenburg. We then concentrate on braided Hopf algebras in the Yetter-Drinfeld category over H, where H is the group algebra of a non abelian finite group. We present some finite dimensional examples arising in an unpublished work by Milinski and Schneider.

Classification of bicovariant differential calculi on the Jordanian quantum groups GL_{g,h}(2) and SL_{h}(2) and quantum Lie algebras
math.QA
We classify all 4-dimensional first order bicovariant calculi on the Jordanian quantum group GL_{h,g}(2) and all 3-dimensional first order bicovariant calculi on the Jordanian quantum group SL_{h}(2). In both cases we assume that the bicovariant bimodules are generated as left modules by the differentials of the quantum group generators. It is found that there are 3 1-parameter families of 4-dimensional bicovariant first order calculi on GL_{h,g}(2) and that there is a single, unique, 3-dimensional bicovariant calculus on SL_{h}(2). This 3-dimensional calculus may be obtained through a classical-like reduction from any one of the three families of 4-dimensional calculi on GL_{h,g}(2). Details of the higher order calculi and also the quantum Lie algebras are presented for all calculi. The quantum Lie algebra obtained from the bicovariant calculus on SL_{h}(2) is shown to be isomorphic to the quantum Lie algebra we obtain as an ad-submodule within the Jordanian universal enveloping algebra U_{h}(sl(2)) and also through a consideration of the decomposition of the tensor product of two copies of the deformed adjoint module. We also obtain the quantum Killing form for this quantum Lie algebra.

Quantized flag manifolds and irreducible *-representations
math.QA
We study irreducible *-representations of a certain quantization of the algebra of polynomial functions on a generalized flag manifold regarded as a real manifold. All irreducible *-representations are classified for a subclass of flag manifolds containing in particular the irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces. For this subclass it is shown that the irreducible *-representations are parametrized by the symplectic leaves of the underlying Poisson bracket. We also discuss the relation between the quantized flag manifolds studied in this paper and the quantum flag manifolds studied by Soibelman, Lakshimibai and Reshetikhin, Jurco and Stovicek, and Korogodsky.

We consider general quasi-associative algebras of this type and some general constructions for them, including quasi-linear algebra and representation theory, and an automorphism quasi-Hopf algebra. Other examples include the higher 2^n-onion Cayley algebras and examples associated to Hadamard matrices.

New combinatorial formula for modified Hall-Littlewood polynomials

The definitions and examples of generalized mahonian statistic on the set of transport matrices and dual mahonian statistic on the set of transport (0,1)-matrices are given. We also review known q-analogues of Littlewood-Richardson numbers and consider their possible generalizations. Several conjectures about multinomial fermionic formulae for homogeneous unrestricted one dimensional sums and generalized Kostka-Foulkes polynomials are formulated. Finally we suggest two parameters deformations of polynomials $P_{\lambda\mu}(t)$ and one dimensional sums.

Drinfeldians
math.QA
We construct two-parameter deformation of an universal enveloping algebra $U(g[u])$ of a polynomial loop algebra $g[u]$, where $g$ is a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra (or superalgebra). This new quantum Hopf algebra called the Drinfeldian $D_{q\eta}(g)$ can be considered as a quantization of $U(g[u])$ in the direction of a classical r-matrix which is a sum of the simple rational and trigonometric r-matrices. The Drinfeldian $D_{q\eta}(g)$ contains $U_{q}(g)$ as a Hopf subalgebra, moreover $U_{q}(g[u])$ and $Y_{\eta}(g)$ are its limit quantum algebras when the $D_{q\eta}(g)$ deformation parameters $\eta$ goes to 0 and $q$ goes to 1, respectively. These results are easy generalized to a supercase, i.e. when $g$ is a finite-dimensional contragredient simple superalgebra.

Cohomology of Conformal Algebras
math.QA
Conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields in conformal field theory. On the other hand, it is an adequate tool for the study of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras satisfying the locality property. The main examples of such Lie algebras are those ``based'' on the punctured complex plane, like the Virasoro algebra and loop algebras. In the present paper we develop a cohomology theory of conformal algebras with coefficients in an arbitrary module. It possesses standard properties of cohomology theories; for example, it describes extensions and deformations. We offer explicit computations for most of the important examples.

Lifting of Quantum Linear Spaces and Pointed Hopf Algebras of order p^3
math.QA
We propose the following principle to study pointed Hopf algebras, or more generally, Hopf algebras whose coradical is a Hopf subalgebra. Given such a Hopf algebra A, consider its coradical filtration and the associated graded coalgebra grad(A). Then grad(A) is a graded Hopf algebra, since the coradical A_0 of A is a Hopf subalgebra. In addition, there is a projection \pi: grad(A) \to A_0; let R be the algebra of coinvariants of \pi. Then, by a result of Radford and Majid, R is a braided Hopf algebra and grad(A) is the bosonization (or biproduct) of R and A_0: grad(A) is isomorphic to (R # A_0). The principle we propose to study A is first to study R, then to transfer the information to grad(A) via bosonization, and finally to lift to A. In this article, we apply this principle to the situation when R is the simplest braided Hopf algebra: a quantum linear space. As consequences of our technique, we obtain the classification of pointed Hopf algebras of order p^3 (p an odd prime) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero; with the same hypothesis, the characterization of the pointed Hopf algebras whose coradical is abelian and has index p or p^2; and an infinite family of pointed, non-isomorphic, Hopf algebras of the same dimension. This last result gives a negative answer to a conjecture of I. Kaplansky.

We study sun-products on $\R^n$, i.e. generalized Abelian deformations associated with star-products for general Poisson structures on $\R^n$. We show that their cochains are given by differential operators. As a consequence, the weak triviality of sun-products is established and we show that strong equivalence classes are quite small. When the Poisson structure is linear (i.e., on the dual of a Lie algebra), we show that the differentiability of sun-products implies that covariant star-products on the dual of any Lie algebra are equivalent each other.

The exposition is given for concrete choice of generators for $q$-oscillator algebra, although developed technique apply for every other cases with indetermine moment problem. The Stieltjes transformation $m(z)$ of spectral measure is expressed in terms of the entries of Jacobi matrix $X$ only. The direct connection between values of parameters labeling the spectral measures and related selfadjoint extensions of $X$ is established.

The proof is via quantum groups, using the existence of a quasitriangular quantization of $ \mathfrak{g}^* $, as well as the fact that this one provides also a quantization of $ K\big[\big[\mathfrak{g}^*\big]\big] \, $.

We realize quantization of this Poisson pencil on $\cp$ type orbits (i.e. orbits in $sl(n+1)^*$ whose real compact form is $ CP^n$) by means of q-deformed Verma modules.

Universal R-matrix for esoteric quantum group
math.QA
The universal $R$-matrix for a class of esoteric (non-standard) quantum groups ${\cal U}_q(gl(2N+1))$ is constructed as a twisting of the universal $R$-matrix ${\cal R}_S$ of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum algebras. The main part of the twisting element ${\cal F}$ is chosen to be the canonical element of appropriate pair of separated Hopf subalgebras (quantized Borel's ${\cal B}(N) \subset {\cal U}_q(gl(2N+1))$), providing the factorization property of ${\cal F}$. As a result, the esoteric quantum group generators can be expressed in terms of the Drinfeld-Jimbo ones.

Twisting cocycles in fundamental representation and triangular bicrossproduct Hopf algebras
math.QA
We find the general solution to the twisting equation in the tensor bialgebra $T({\bf R})$ of an associative unital ring ${\bf R}$ viewed as that of fundamental representation for a universal enveloping Lie algebra and its quantum deformations. We suggest a procedure of constructing twisting cocycles belonging to a given quasitriangular subbialgebra ${\cal H}\subset T({\bf R})$. This algorithm generalizes Reshetikhin's approach, which involves cocycles fulfilling the Yang-Baxter equation. Within this framework we study a class of quantized inhomogeneous Lie algebras related to associative rings in a certain way, for which we build twisting cocycles and universal $R$-matrices. Our approach is a generalization of the methods developed for the case of commutative rings in our recent work including such well-known examples as Jordanian quantization of the Borel subalgebra of $sl(2)$ and the null-plane quantized Poincar\'e algebra by Ballesteros at al. We reveal the role of special group cohomologies in this process and establish the bicrossproduct structure of the examples studied.

A cyclage poset structure for Littlewood-Richardson tableaux
math.QA
A graded poset structure is defined for the sets of Littlewood-Richardson (LR) tableaux that count the multiplicity of an irreducible GL(n)-module in the tensor product of irreducibles indexed by a sequence of rectangular partitions. This poset generalizes the cyclage poset on column-strict tableaux defined by Lascoux and Schutzenberger, and its grading function generalizes the charge statistic. It is shown that the polynomials obtained by enumerating LR tableaux by shape and the generalized charge, are the Poincare polynomials of isotypic components of the certain modules supported in the closure of a nilpotent conjugacy class.

Generalized quantum current algebras
math.QA
Two general families of new quantum deformed current algebras are proposed and identified both as infinite Hopf family of algebras, a structure which enable one to define ``tensor products'' of these algebras. The standard quantum affine algebras turn out to be a very special case of both algebra families, in which case the infinite Hopf family structure degenerates into standard Hopf algebras. The relationship between the two algebra families as well as their various special examples are discussed, and the free boson representation is also considered.

On q-analogues of Riemann's zeta

In the paper, we introduce $q$-deformations of the Riemann zeta function, extend them to the whole complex plane, and establish certain estimates of the number of roots. The construction is based on the recent difference generalization of the Harish-Chandra theory of zonal spherical functions. We also discuss numerical results, which indicate that the location of the zeros of the $q$-zeta functions is far from random.

On the FRTS approach to quantized current algebras
math.QA
We study the possibility to establish $L$-operator's formalism by Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan-Semenov-Tian-Shansky (FRST) for quantized current algebras, that is, for quantum affine algebras in the ''new realization '' by V. Drinfeld with the corresponding Hopf algebra structure and for their Yangian counterpart. We establish this formalism using the twisting procedure by Tolstoy and the second author and explain the problems which FRST approach encounter for quantized current algebras. We show also that, for the case of $U_q(\hat {\frak sl}_n)$, entries of the L-operators of FRTS type give the Drinfeld current operators for the non-simple roots, which we discovered recently. As an application we deduce the commutation relations between these current operators for $U_q(\hat {\frak sl}_3)$.

Let A be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra and X the subalgebra of A generated by a row of a matrix corepresentation u or by a row of u and a row of the contragredient representation u^c. In the paper left-covariant first order differential calculi on the quantum group A are constructed and the corresponding induced calculi on the left quantum space X are described. The main tool for these constructions are the L-functionals associated with u. The results are applied to the quantum homogeneous space GL_q(N)/GL_q(N-1).

The $ R $--matrix action of untwisted affine quantum groups at roots of 1
math.QA
Let $\hat{\frak g}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. The quantum group $U_h(\hat{\frak g})$ (over $\mathbb{C}[[h]]$) is known to be a quasitriangular Hopf algebra: in particular, it has a universal $ R $--matrix, which yields an $ R $--matrix for each pair of representations of $U_h(\hat{\frak g})$. On the other hand, the quantum group $U_q(\hat{\frak g})$ (over $\mathbb{C}(q) $) also has an $ R $--matrix for each pair of representations, but it has not a universal $ R $--matrix so that one cannot say that it is quasitriangular. Following Reshetikin, one introduces the (weaker) notion of braided Hopf algebra: then $ U_q(\hat{\frak g})$ is a braided Hopf algebra. In this work we prove that also the unrestricted specializations of $U_q(\hat{\frak g})$ at roots of 1 are braided: in particular, specializing $q$ at 1 we have that the function algebra $F \big[ \hat{H} \big]$ of the Poisson proalgebraic group $\hat{H}$ dual of $\hat{G}$ (a Kac-Moody group with Lie algebra $\hat{\frak g} \,$) is braided. This is useful because, despite these specialized quantum groups are not quasitriangular, the braiding is enough for applications, mainly for producing knot invariants. As an example, the action of the $ R $--matrix on (tensor products of) Verma modules can be specialized at odd roots of 1.

Infinite dimensional representations of the real form U_q(u_{n,1}) of the Drinfeld--Jimbo algebra U_q(gl_{n+1}) are defined. The principal series of representations of U_q(u_{n,1}) is studied. Intertwining operators for pairs of the principal series representations are calculated in an explicit form. The structure of reducible representations of the principal series is determined. Irreducible representations of U_q(u_{n,1}), obtained from irreducible and reducible principal series representations, are classified. All *-representations in this set of irreducible representations are separated. Unlike the classical case, the algebra U_q(u_{n,1}) has finite dimensional irreducible *-representations.

Rogawski's conjecture on the Jantzen filtration for the degenerate affine Hecke algebra of type A
math.QA
The functors constructed by Arakawa and the author relate the representation theory of gl_n and that of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra H_l of GL_l. They transform the Verma modules over gl_n to the standard modules over H_l. They transform the simple modules to the simple modules. We also prove that they transform the Jantzen filtration on the Verma modules to that on the standard modules. We obtain the following results for the representations of H_l by translating the corresponding results for gl_n through the functors: (i) the (generalized) Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand resolution for a certain class of simple modules, (ii) the multiplicity formula for the composition series of the standard modules, and (iii) its refinement concerning the Jantzen filtration on the standard modules, which was conjectured by Rogawski.

Representations of the cyclically symmetric q-deformed algebra $so_q(3)$
math.QA
An algebra homomorphism $\psi$ from the nonstandard q-deformed (cyclically symmetric) algebra $U_q(so_3)$ to the extension ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$ of the Hopf algebra $U_q(sl_2)$ is constructed. Not all irreducible representations of $U_q(sl_2)$ can be extended to representations of ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$. Composing the homomorphism $\psi$ with irreducible representations of ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$ we obtain representations of $U_q(so_3)$. Not all of these representations of $U_q(so_3)$ are irreducible. Reducible representations of $U_q(so_3)$ are decomposed into irreducible components. In this way we obtain all irreducible representations of $U_q(so_3)$ when $q$ is not a root of unity. A part of these representations turns into irreducible representations of the Lie algebra so$_3$ when $q\to 1$. Representations of the other part have no classical analogue. Using the homomorphism $\psi$ it is shown how to construct tensor products of finite dimensional representations of $U_q(so_3)$. Irreducible representations of $U_q(so_3)$ when $q$ is a root of unity are constructed. Part of them are obtained from irreducible representations of ${\hat U}_q(sl_2)$ by means of the homomorphism $\psi$.

The difference conditions between parts are given by the energy function of certain perfect $A_2^{(1)}$-crystal. We also recall some other identities for this type of colored partitions, but coming from the vertex operator constructions and with no apparent connection to the crystal base theory.

Axioms for Weak Bialgebras
math.QA
Let A be a finite dimensional unital associative algebra over a field K, which is also equipped with a coassociative counital coalgebra structure (\Delta,\eps). A is called a Weak Bialgebra if the coproduct \Delta is multiplicative. We do not require \Delta(1) = 1 \otimes 1 nor multiplicativity of the counit \eps. Instead, we propose a new set of counit axioms, which are modelled so as to guarantee that \Rep\A becomes a monoidal category with unit object given by the cyclic A-submodule \E := (A --> \eps) \subset \hat A (\hat A denoting the dual weak bialgebra). Under these monoidality axioms \E and \bar\E := (\eps <-- A) become commuting unital subalgebras of \hat A which are trivial if and only if the counit \eps is multiplicative. We also propose axioms for an antipode S such that the category \Rep\A becomes rigid. S is uniquely determined, provided it exists. If a monoidal weak bialgebra A has an antipode S, then its dual \hat A is monoidal if and only if S is a bialgebra anti-homomorphism, in which case S is also invertible. In this way we obtain a definition of weak Hopf algebras which in Appendix A will be shown to be equivalent to the one given independently by G. B\"ohm and K. Szlach\'anyi. Special examples are given by the face algebras of T. Hayashi and the generalised Kac algebras of T. Yamanouchi.

On Finite-Dimensional Semisimple and Cosemisimple Hopf Algebras in Positive Characteristic
math.QA
Recently, important progress has been made in the study of finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebras over a field of characteristic zero. Yet, very little is known over a field of positive characteristic. In this paper we prove some results on finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebras A over a field of positive characteristic, notably Kaplansky's 5th conjecture on the order of the antipode of A. These results have already been proved over a field of characteristic zero, so in a sense we demonstrate that it is sufficient to consider semisimple Hopf algebras over such a field (they are also cosemisimple), and then to use our Lifting Theorem 2.1 to prove it for semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebras over a field of positive characteristic. In our proof of Lifting Theorem 2.1 we use standard arguments of deformation theory from positive to zero characteristic. The key ingredient of the proof is the theorem that the bialgebra cohomology groups of A vanish.

Using the bialgebra structure related to the new Drinfeld realization of affine quantum groups we describe reduction in terms of constraints. This realization of reduction admits direct quantization. As a byproduct we obtain an explicit expression for the symplectic form associated to the twisted Heisenberg double and calculate the moment map for the twisted dressing action. For some class of infinite-dimensional Poisson Lie groups we also prove an analogue of the Ginzburg-Weinstein isomorphism.

We show that similarly to the case of a knot, the colored Jones polynomial of a link can be presented as a formal series in powers of q-1. The coefficients of this series are rational functions of q^(color) whose denominators are powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial.

Construction of Covariant Differential Calculi on Quantum Homogeneous Spaces

A method of constructing covariant differential calculi on a quantum homogeneous space is devised. The function algebra X of the quantum homogeneous space is assumed to be a left coideal of a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra H and to contain the coefficients of any matrix over H which is the two-sided inverse of one with entries in X. The method is based on partial derivatives. For the quantum sphere of Podles and the quantizations of symmetric spaces due to Noumi, Dijkhuizen and Sugitani the construction produces the subcalculi of the standard bicovariant calculus on the quantum group.

Extended jordanian twists for Lie algebras
math.QA
Jordanian quantizations of Lie algebras are studied using the factorizable twists. For a restricted Borel subalgebras ${\bf B}^{\vee}$ of $sl(N)$ the explicit expressions are obtained for the twist element ${\cal F}$, universal ${\cal R}$-matrix and the corresponding canonical element ${\cal T}$. It is shown that the twisted Hopf algebra ${\cal U}_{\cal F} ({\bf B}^{\vee})$ is self dual. The cohomological properties of the involved Lie bialgebras are studied to justify the existence of a contraction from the Dinfeld-Jimbo quantization to the jordanian one. The construction of the twist is generalized to a certain type of inhomogenious Lie algebras.

A contribution of a U(1)-reducible connection to quantum invariants of links II: Links in rational homology spheres
math.QA
We extend the definition of the U(1)-reducible connection contribution to the case of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant of a link in a rational homology sphere. We prove that, similarly ot the case of a link in S^3, this contribution is a formal power series in powers of q-1, whose coefficients are rational functions of q^{color}, their denominators being the powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. The coefficients of the polynomials in numerators are rational numbers, the bounds on their denominators are established with the help of the theorem proved by T. Ohtsuki in Appendix 2. Similarly to the previously considered case of S^3, the U(1)-reducible connection contribution determines the trivial connection contribution into the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant of algebraically connected links. We derive a surgery formula for the U(1)-reducible connection contribution, which relates it to the similar contribution into the colored Jones polynomial of a surgery link in S^3.

The Ideals of Free Differential Algebras
math.QA
We consider the free ${\bf C}$-algebra ${\cal B}_q$ with $N$ generators $\{\xi_i\}_{i = 1,...,N}$, together with a set of $N$ differential operators $\{\partial_i\}_{i = 1,...,N}$ that act as twisted derivations on ${\cal B}_q$ according to the rule $\partial_i\xi_j = \delta_{ij} + q_{ij}\xi_j\partial_i$; that is, $\forall x \in {\cal B}_q, \partial_i(\xi_jx) = \delta_{ij}x + q_{ij}\xi_j\partial_i x,$ and $\partial_i{\bf C} = 0$. The suffix $q$ on ${\cal B}_q$ stands for $\{q_{ij}\}_{i,j \in \{1,...,N\}}$ and is interpreted as a point in parameter space, $q = \{q_{ij}\}\in {\bf C}^{N^2}$. A constant $C \in {\cal B}_q$ is a nontrivial element with the property $\partial_iC = 0, i = 1,...,N$. To each point in parameter space there correponds a unique set of constants and a differential complex. There are no constants when the parameters $q_{ij}$ are in general position. We obtain some precise results concerning the algebraic surfaces in parameter space on which constants exist. Let ${\cal I}_q$ denote the ideal generated by the constants. We relate the quotient algebras ${\cal B}_q' = {\cal B}_q/{\cal I}_q$ to Yang-Baxter algebras and, in particular, to quantized Kac-Moody algebras. The differential complex is a generalization of that of a quantized Kac-Moody algebra described in terms of Serre generators. Integrability conditions for $q$-differential equations are related to Hochschild cohomology. It is shown that $H^p({\cal B}_q',{\cal B}_q') = 0$ for $p \geq 1$. The intimate relationship to generalized, quantized Kac-Moody algebras suggests an approach to the problem of classification of these algebras.

Finite Dimensional Pointed Hopf Algebras with Abelian Coradical and Cartan matrices
math.QA
In a previous work \cite{AS2} we showed how to attach to a pointed Hopf algebra A with coradical $\k\Gamma$, a braided strictly graded Hopf algebra R in the category $_{\Gamma}^{\Gamma}\Cal{YD}$ of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $\Gamma$. In this paper, we consider a further invariant of A, namely the subalgebra R' of R generated by the space V of primitive elements. Algebras of this kind are known since the pioneering work of Nichols. It turns out that R' is completely determined by the braiding c:V\otimes V \to V \otimes V. We denote R' = B(V). We assume further that $\Gamma$ is finite abelian. Then c is given by a matrix (b_{ij}) whose entries are roots of unity; we also suppose that they have odd order. We introduce for these braidings the notion of "braiding of Cartan type" and we attach a generalized Cartan matrix to a braiding of Cartan type. We prove that B(V) is finite dimensional if its corresponding matrix is of finite Cartan type and give sufficient conditions for the converse statement. As a consequence, we obtain many new families of pointed Hopf algebras. When $\Gamma$ is a direct sum of copies of a group of prime order, the conditions hold and any matrix is of Cartan type. As a sample, we classify all the finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras which are coradically graded, generated in degree one and whose coradical has odd prime dimension p. We also characterize coradically graded pointed Hopf algebras of order p^4, which are generated in degree one.

We show that a set of local admissible fields generates a vertex algebra. For an affine Lie algebra $\tilde\goth g$ we construct the corresponding level $k$ vertex operator algebra and we show that level $k$ highest weight $\tilde\goth g$-modules are modules for this vertex operator algebra. We determine the set of annihilating fields of level $k$ standard modules and we study the corresponding loop $\tilde\goth g$ module---the set of relations that defines standard modules. In the case when $\tilde\goth g$ is of type $A_1^{(1)}$, we construct bases of standard modules parameterized by colored partitions and, as a consequence, we obtain a series of Rogers-Ramanujan type combinatorial identities.
