Quantum Algebra And Topology

A thorough analysis of Lie super-bialgebra structures on Lie super-algebras osp(1|2) and super-e(2) is presented. Combined technique of computer algebraic computations and a subsequent identification of equivalent structures is applied. In all the cases Poisson-Lie brackets on supergroups are found. Possibility of quantizing them in order to obtain quantum groups is discussed. It turns out to be straightforward for all but one structures for super-E(2) group.

In this paper all eight-vertex type solutions of the colored Yang-Baxter equation dependent on spectral as well as color parameter are given. It is proved that they are composed of three groups of basic solutions, three groups of their degenerate forms and two groups of trivial solutions up to five solution transformations. Moreover, all non-trivial solutions can be classified into two types called Baxter and Free-Fermion type.

We construct irreducible modules V_{\alpha}, \alpha \in \C over W_3 algebra with c = -2 in terms of a free bosonic field. We prove that these modules exhaust all the irreducible modules of W_3 algebra with c = -2. Highest weights of modules V_{\alpha}, \alpha \in \C with respect to the full (two-dimensional) Cartan subalgebra of W_3 algebra are (\alpha(\alpha -1)/2, \alpha(\alpha -1)(2\alpha -1)/6). They are parametrized by points (t, w) on a rational curve w^2 - t^2 (8t + 1)/9 = 0. Irreducible modules of vertex algebra W_{1+\infty} with c = -1 are also classified.

We present a classification of the possible quantum deformations of the supergroup GL(1|1) and its Lie superalgebra gl(1|1) . In each case, the (super)commutation relations and the Hopf structures are explicitly computed. For each R matrix, one finds two inequivalent coproducts whether one chooses an unbraided or a braided framework while the corresponding structures are isomorphic as algebras. In the braided case, one recovers the classical algebra gl(1|1) for suitable limits of the deformation parameters but this is no longer true in the unbraided case.

We consider a pair of independent scalar products, one scalar product on vectors, and another independent scalar product on dual space of co-vectors. The Clifford co-product of multivectors is calculated from the dual Clifford algebra. With respect to this co-product unit is not group-like and vectors are not primitive. The Clifford product and the Clifford co-product fits to the bi-gebra with respect to the family of the (pre)-braids. The Clifford bi-gebra is in a braided category iff at least one of these scalar products vanish.

The notion of a coalgebra-Galois extension is defined as a natural generalisation of a Hopf-Galois extension. It is shown that any coalgebra-Galois extension induces a unique entwining map ψ compatible with the right coaction. For the dual notion of an algebra-Galois coextension it is also proven that there always exists a unique entwining structure compatible with the right action.

Coherence phenomena appear in two different situations. In the context of category theory the term `coherence constraints' refers to a set of diagrams whose commutativity implies the commutativity of a larger class of diagrams. In the context of algebra coherence constrains are a minimal set of generators for the second syzygy, that is, a set of equations which generate the full set of identities among the defining relations of an algebraic theory. A typical example of the first type is Mac Lane's coherence theorem for monoidal categories, an example of the second type is the result of Drinfel'd saying that the pentagon identity for the `associator' of a quasi-Hopf algebra implies the validity of a set of identities with higher instances of this associator. We show that both types of coherence are governed by a homological invariant of the operad for the underlying algebraic structure. We call this invariant the (space of) coherence constraints. In many cases these constraints can be explicitly described, thus giving rise to various coherence results, both classical and new.

In this paper two types of coherent states of g l q (2) -covariant oscillators are investigated.

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.

We construct the explicit formula for the (2n+1)-cocycle of the Lie algebra of (pseudo)differential operators on a n-dimensional space. We prove that this formula in fact defines a cocycle for n=1 and n=2.
