We investigate the question of covariant differential calculi on the bosonisation of a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra and an associated braided Hopf algebra. As a result we present a general way of obtaining such calculi on inhomogeneous quantum groups.

We introduce a quasitriangular Hopf algebra or ‘quantum group’ U(B), the double-bosonization, associated to every braided group B in the category of H-modules over a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H, such that B appears as the ‘positive root space’, H as the ‘Cartan subalgebra’ and the dual braided group B* as the ‘negative root space’ of U(B). The choice B=Uq(n+) recovers Lusztig's construction of Uq(g); other choices give more novel quantum groups. As an application, our construction provides a canonical way of building up quantum groups from smaller ones by repeatedly extending their positive and negative root spaces by linear braided groups; we explicitly construct Uq(sl3) from Uq(sl2) by this method, extending it by the quantum-braided plane. We provide a fundamental representation of U(B) in B. A projection from the quantum double, a theory of double biproducts and a Tannaka–Krein reconstruction point of view are also provided.

Improving on an earlier proposal, we construct the gauge theories of the quantum groups U q(N). We find that these theories are also consistent with an ordinary (commuting) space-time. The bicovariance conditions of the quantum differential calculus are essential in our construction. The gauge potentials and the field strengths are q-commuting "fields," and satisfy q-commutation relations with the gauge parameters. The transformation rules of the potentials generalize the ordinary infinitesimal gauge variations. For particular deformations of U (N) ("minimal deformations"), the algebra of quantum gauge variations is shown to close, provided the gauge parameters satisfy appropriate q-commutations. The q-Lagrangian invariant under the U q(N) variations has the Yang–Mills form [Formula: see text], the "quantum metric" gij being a generalization of the Killing metric.

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=∞.

Rational conformal field theories can be interpreted as defining quasi-triangular Hopf algebras. The Hopf algebra is determined by the duality properties of the conformal theory.

Super-Hopf algebra structure on the function algebra on the extended quantum superspace has been defined. It is given a bicovariant differential calculus on the superspace. The corresponding (quantum) Lie superalgebra of vector fields and its Hopf algebra structure are obtained. The dual Hopf algebra is explicitly constructed. A new quantum supergroup that is the symmetry group of the differential calculus is found.

The 27-dimensional Hopf algebra A(F), defined by the exact sequence of quantum groups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is studied as a finite quantum group symmetry of the matrix algebra [Formula: see text], describing the color sector of Alain Connes' formulation of the Standard Model. The duality with the Hopf algebra ℋ, investigated in a recent work by Robert Coquereaux, is established and used to define a representation of ℋ on [Formula: see text] and two commuting representation of ℋ on A(F).
