Algebra Of Operators

The basic notion of the Berezin quantization on a manifold M is a correspondence which to an operator A from a class assigns the pair of functions F and F^♮ defined on M. These functions are called covariant and contravariant symbols of A. We are interested in homogeneous space M=G/H and classes of operators related to the representation theory. The most algebraic version of quantization — we call it the polynomial quantization — is obtained when operators belong to the algebra of operators corresponding in a representation T of G to elements X of the universal enveloping algebra Env g of the Lie algebra g of G. In this case symbols turn out to be polynomials on the Lie algebra g. In this paper we offer a new theme in the Berezin quantization on G/H: as an initial class of operators we take operators corresponding to elements of the group G itself in a representation T of this group. In the paper we consider two examples, here homogeneous spaces are para-Hermitian spaces of rank 1 and 2: a) G=SL(2;R), H — the subgroup of diagonal matrices, G/H — a hyperboloid of one sheet in R^3; b) G — the pseudoorthogonal group SO_0 (p; q), the subgroup H covers with finite multiplicity the group SO_0 (p-1,q -1)×SO_0 (1;1); the space G/H (a pseudo-Grassmann manifold) is an orbit in the Lie algebra g of the group G.

Let G / H be a homogeneous space of a compact simple classical Lie group G. Assume that the maximal torus T H of H is conjugate to a torus T β whose Lie algebra t β is the kernel of the maximal root β of the root system of the complexified Lie algebra g c . We prove that such homogeneous space is formal. As an application, we give a short direct proof of the formality property of compact homogeneous 3-Sasakian spaces of classical type. This is a complement to the work of Fernández, Muñoz, and Sanchez which contains a full analysis of the formality property of S O ( 3 ) -bundles over the Wolf spaces and the proof of the formality property of homogeneous 3-Sasakian manifolds as a corollary.

Abstract We introduce most of the concepts for q-Lie algebras in a way independent of the base field K. Again it turns out that we can keep the same Lie algebra with a small modification. We use very similar definitions for all quantities, which means that the proofs are similar. In particular, the quantities solvable, nilpotent, semisimple q-Lie algebra, Weyl group and Weyl chamber are identical with the ordinary case q = 1. The computations of sample q-roots for certain well-known q-Lie groups contain an extra q-addition, and consequently, for most of the quantities which are q-deformed, we add a prefix q in the respective name. Important examples are the q-Cartan subalgebra and the q-Cartan Killing form. We introduce the concept q-homogeneous spaces in a formal way exemplified by the examples S U q ( 1 , 1 ) S O q ( 2 ) {{S{U_q}\left( {1,1} \right)} \over {S{O_q}\left( 2 \right)}} and S O q ( 3 ) S O q ( 2 ) {{S{O_q}\left( 3 \right)} \over {S{O_q}\left( 2 \right)}} with corresponding q-Lie groups and q-geodesics. By introducing a q-deformed semidirect product, we can define exact sequences of q-Lie groups and some other interesting q-homogeneous spaces. We give an example of the corresponding q-Iwasawa decomposition for SLq(2).

The Inönü-Wigner contraction from the Lorentz group O(2,1) to the Euclidean group E(2) is used to relate the separation of variables in the Laplace-Beltrami operators on the two corresponding homogeneous spaces. We consider the contractions on four levels: the Lie algebra, the commuting sets of second order operators in the enveloping algebra o(2,1), the coordinate systems and some eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operators.

Let G be a connected Lie group and H a closed subgroup with Lie algebra such that in the Lie algebra g of G there exists a subspace m with (subspace direct sum) and In this case the corresponding manifold M = G/H is called a reductive homogeneous space and (g,) (or (G,H)) a reductive pair. In this paper we shall show how to construct invariant pseudo-Riemannian connections on suitable reductive homogeneous spaces M which make M into an Einstein manifold.

Density Matrices

It turns out that a parametrization of degenerate density matrices requires a parametrization of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] denotes the set of all unitary [Formula: see text]-matrices with complex entries. Unfortunately, the parametrization of this quotient space is quite involved. Our solution does not rely on Lie algebra methods directly, but succeeds through the construction of suitable sections for natural projections, by using techniques from the theory of homogeneous spaces. We mention the relation to the Lie algebra background and conclude with two concrete examples.
