Unlike the quantum group case, it is shown that the braid generator σ is not always diagonalizable on V ⊗ V, V an irreducible module for a quantum supergroup. Nevertheless a generalization of the Reshetikhin form of the braid generator, obtained previously for quantum groups, is determined corresponding to every finite dimensional standard cyclic module V of a quantum supergroup. This result is applied to obtain a general closed formula for link polynomials arising from standard cyclic modules of a quantum supergroup belonging to a certain class. As explicit examples we determine link polynomials corresponding to the rank 2 symmetric tensor representation of Uq [gl(m|m)] and the defining representation of Uq [osp(2n|2n)].

Abstract The quantum co-ordinate algebra Aq(g) associated to a Kac–Moody Lie algebra g forms a Hopf algebra whose comodules are direct sums of finite-dimensional irreducible Uq(g) modules. In this paper, we investigate whether an analogous result is true when q=0. We classify crystal bases as coalgebras over a comonadic functor on the category of pointed sets and encode the monoidal structure of crystals into a bicomonadic structure. In doing this, we prove that there is no coalgebra in the category of pointed sets whose comodules are equivalent to crystal bases. We then construct a bialgebra over Z whose based comodules are equivalent to crystals, which we conjecture is linked to Lusztig’s quantum group at v=∞.

A general method for constructing invariants for quantum supergroups is applied to obtain a closed formula for link polynomials. For type I quantum supergroups, a realization of the braid group and corresponding link polynomial is determined, for each irreducible representation of the quantum supergroup in a certain class. Although these realizations are not matrix representations in the usual sense, nevertheless link polynomials are defined which are generalizations of those previously obtained from quantum groups. To illustrate the theory, link polynomials corresponding to the defining representations of the quantum supergroups Uq [gl(m|n)], Uq [C (m + 1)] are determined explicitly.

We prove existence of BGG resolution of an irreducible highest weight module over a quantum group, classify morphisms of Verma modules over a quantum group and find formulas for singular vectors in Verma modules. As an application we find cohomology of the quantum group of the type [Formula: see text] with coefficients in a finite-dimensional module.

AbstractThe problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same group acting on the symmetric tensor algebra of the Lie algebra. This process is applied to prove a constructive Hilbert–Nagata Theorem (including degree bounds) for the algebra of invariants in a Lie nilpotent relatively free associative algebra endowed with an action induced by a representation of a reductive group.

Abstract One of the main aims of this paper is to give a large class of strongly solid compact quantum groups. We do this by using quantum Markov semigroups and noncommutative Riesz transforms. We introduce a property for quantum Markov semigroups of central multipliers on a compact quantum group which we shall call ‘approximate linearity with almost commuting intertwiners’. We show that this property is stable under free products, monoidal equivalence, free wreath products and dual quantum subgroups. Examples include in particular all the (higher-dimensional) free orthogonal easy quantum groups. We then show that a compact quantum group with a quantum Markov semigroup that is approximately linear with almost commuting intertwiners satisfies the immediately gradient- ${\mathcal {S}}_2$ condition from [10] and derive strong solidity results (following [10]). Using the noncommutative Riesz transform we also show that these quantum groups have the Akemann–Ostrand property; in particular, the same strong solidity results follow again (now following [27]).

Reshetikhin and Turaev [10] gave a method to construct a topological invariant of compact oriented 3-manifolds from a ribbon Hopf algebra (e.g. a quantum group Uq(sl2)) using finite-dimensional representations of it. In this paper we give another independent method to construct a topological invariant of compact oriented 3-manifolds from a ribbon Hopf algebra via universal invariants of framed links without using representations of the algebra. For Uq(sl2) these two methods give different invariants of 3-manifolds.

AbstractIn this paper we use the recent developments in the representation theory of locally compact quantum groups, to assign to each locally compact quantum group 𝔾 a locally compact group 𝔾˜ that is the quantum version of point-masses and is an invariant for the latter. We show that “quantum point-masses” can be identified with several other locally compact groups that can be naturally assigned to the quantum group 𝔾. This assignment preserves compactness as well as discreteness (hence also finiteness), and for large classes of quantum groups, amenability. We calculate this invariant for some of the most well-known examples of non-classical quantum groups. Also, we show that several structural properties of 𝔾 are encoded by 𝔾˜; the latter, despite being a simpler object, can carry very important information about 𝔾.

Fomin and Zelevinsky show that a certain two-parameter family of rational recurrence relations, here called the $(b,c)$ family, possesses the Laurentness property: for all $b,c$, each term of the $(b,c)$ sequence can be expressed as a Laurent polynomial in the two initial terms. In the case where the positive integers $b,c$ satisfy $bc < 4$, the recurrence is related to the root systems of finite-dimensional rank $2$ Lie algebras; when $bc>4$, the recurrence is related to Kac-Moody rank $2$ Lie algebras of general type. Here we investigate the borderline cases $bc=4$, corresponding to Kac-Moody Lie algebras of affine type. In these cases, we show that the Laurent polynomials arising from the recurence can be viewed as generating functions that enumerate the perfect matchings of certain graphs. By providing combinatorial interpretations of the individual coefficients of these Laurent polynomials, we establish their positivity.

AbstractIt is known that the normalized standard generators of the free orthogonal quantum groupO+Nconverge in distribution to a free semicircular system as N → ∞. In this note, we substantially improve this convergence result by proving that, in addition to distributional convergence, the operator normof any non-commutative polynomial in the normalized standard generators ofO+Nconverges asN→ ∞ to the operator norm of the corresponding non-commutative polynomial in a standard free semicircular system. Analogous strong convergence results are obtained for the generators of free unitary quantum groups. As applications of these results, we obtain a matrix-coefficient version of our strong convergence theorem, and we recover a well-knownL2-L∞norm equivalence for noncommutative polynomials in free semicircular systems.

We present the quantum formal group derived from the hybrid-type model. The quantum group structure is given by the direct sum of several quantum groups. We show that by applying the quantum inverse scattering method to the direct sum of the several quantum groups we can reconstruct the hybrid-type model.
