We present an elementary approach to characterizing Lie polynomials on the generators [Formula: see text] of an algebra with a defining relation in the form of a twisted commutation relation [Formula: see text]. Here, the twisting map [Formula: see text] is a linear polynomial with a slope parameter, which is not a root of unity. The class of algebras defined as such encompasses [Formula: see text]-deformed Heisenberg algebras, rotation algebras, and some types of [Formula: see text]-oscillator algebras, the deformation parameters of which, are not roots of unity. Thus, we have a general solution for the Lie polynomial characterization problem for these algebras.

AbstractA Lie algebra is called a Heisenberg algebra if its centre coincides with its derived algebra and is one-dimensional. When is infinite-dimensional, Kac, Kazhdan, Lepowsky, and Wilson have proved that -modules that satisfy certain conditions are direct sums of a canonical irreducible submodule. This is an algebraic analogue of the Stone-von Neumann theorem. In this paper, we extract quantum Heisenberg algebras, q(), from the quantum affine algebras whose vertex representations were constructed by Frenkel and Jing. We introduce the canonical irreducible q()-module Mq and a class Cq of q()-modules that are shown to have the Stone-von Neumann property. The only restriction we place on the complex number q is that it is not a square root of 1. If q1 and q2 are not roots of unity, or are both primitive m-th roots of unity, we construct an explicit isomorphism between q1() and q2(). If q1 is a primitive m-th root of unity, m odd, q2 a primitive 2m-th or a primitive 4m-th root of unity, we also construct an explicit isomorphism between q1() and q2().

AbstractFor a fixed algebraic number α we discuss how closely α can be approximated by a root of a {0, +1, -1} polynomial of given degree. We show that the worst rate of approximation tends to occur for roots of unity, particularly those of small degree. For roots of unity these bounds depend on the order of vanishing, k, of the polynomial at α.In particular we obtain the following. Let BN denote the set of roots of all {0, +1, -1} polynomials of degree at most N and BN(α k) the roots of those polynomials that have a root of order at most k at α. For a Pisot number α in (1, 2] we show thatand for a root of unity α thatWe study in detail the case of α = 1, where, by far, the best approximations are real. We give fairly precise bounds on the closest real root to 1. When k = 0 or 1 we can describe the extremal polynomials explicitly.

We found a family of infinitely many hyperbolic knot manifolds each member of which has a strongly detected boundary slope with associated root of unity of order 4.

We develop the basic representation theory of all quantum groups at all roots of unity (that is, for q any root of unity, where q is defined as in [18]), including Harish–Chandra's theorem, which allows us to show that an appropriate quotient of a subcategory gives a semisimple ribbon category. This work generalizes previous work on the foundations of representation theory of quantum groups at roots of unity which applied only to quantizations of the simplest groups, or to certain fractional levels, or only to the projective form of the group. The second half of this paper applies the representation theory to give a sequence of results crucial to applications in topology. In particular, for each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group we show that at each integer level the quotient category is in fact modular (thus leading to a Topological Quantum Field Theory), we determine when at fractional levels the corresponding category is modular, and we give a quantum version of the Racah formula for the decomposition of the tensor product.

Paragrassmann algebras with one and many paragrassmann variables are considered from the algebraic point of view without using the Green ansatz. A differential operator with respect to paragrassmann variable and a covariant para-super-derivative are introduced giving a natural generalization of the Grassmann calculus to a paragrassmann one. Deep relations between paragrassmann algebras and quantum groups with deformation parameters being root of unity are established.

Abstract It is shown how to deduce integrality properties of quantum 3-manifold invariants from the existence of integral subcategories of modular categories. The method is illustrated in the case of the invariants associated to classical Lie algebras constructed in [42], showing that the invariants are algebraic integers provided the root of unity has prime order. This generalizes a result of [31], [32] and [29] in the sl2-case. We also discuss some details in the construction of invariants of 3-manifolds, such as the S-matrix in the PSUk case, and a local orientation reversal principle for the colored Homfly polynomial.

The original motivation for studying unitarizable representations of the braid group was to construct interesting examples of subfactors of II1 von Neumann factors. This is possible for representations factoring through Hecke algebras or q-Brauer algebras only if the deformation parameter is a root of unity. Information gained from this work can be applied to studying tensor products of representations of quantum groups at roots of unity and invariants of 3-manifolds.

AbstractWe study the ring theory of the multi-parameter deformations of the quantum Schubert cell algebras obtained from 2-cocycle twists. This is a large family, which extends the Artin–Schelter–Tate algebras of twisted quantum matrices. We classify set theoretically the spectra of all such multi-parameter quantum Schubert cell algebras, construct each of their prime ideals by contracting from explicit normal localizations and prove formulas for the dimensions of their Goodearl–Letzter strata for base fields of arbitrary characteristic and all deformation parameters that are not roots of unity. Furthermore, we prove that the spectra of these algebras are normally separated and that all such algebras are catenary.

In their famous paper on partitions, Hardy and Ramanujan also raised the question of the behaviour of the number $p_s(n)$ of partitions of a positive integer~$n$ into $s$-th powers and gave some preliminary results. We give first an asymptotic formula to all orders, and then an exact formula, describing the behaviour of the corresponding generating function $P_s(q) = \prod_{n=1}^\infty \bigl(1-q^{n^s}\bigr)^{-1}$ near any root of unity, generalizing the modular transformation behaviour of the Dedekind eta-function in the case $s=1$. This is then combined with the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method to give a rather precise formula for $p_s(n)$ of the same general type of the one that they gave for~$s=1$. There are several new features, the most striking being that the contributions coming from various roots of unity behave very erratically rather than decreasing uniformly as in their situation. Thus in their famous calculation of $p(200)$ the contributions from arcs of the circle near roots of unity of order 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 have 13, 5, 2, 1 and 1 digits, respectively, but in the corresponding calculation for $p_2(100000)$ these contributions have 60, 27, 4, 33, and 16 digits, respectively, of wildly varying sizes

We show that the problem of approximately evaluating the Tutte polynomial of triangular graphs at the points (q, 1/q) of the Tutte plane is BQP-complete for (most) roots of unity q. We also consider circular graphs and show that the problem of approximately evaluating the Tutte polynomial of these graphs at the point (e2πi/5, e-2πi/5) is DQC1-complete and at points [Formula: see text] for some integer k is in BQP. To show that these problems can be solved by a quantum computer, we rely on the relation of the Tutte polynomial of a planar G graph with the Jones and HOMFLY polynomial of the alternating link D(G) given by the medial graph of G. In the case of our graphs the corresponding links are equal to the plat and trace closures of braids. It is known how to evaluate the Jones and HOMFLY polynomial for closures of braids. To establish the hardness results, we use the property that the images of the generators of the braid group under the irreducible Jones–Wenzl representations of the Hecke algebra have finite order. We show that for each braid b we can efficiently construct a braid [Formula: see text] such that the evaluation of the Jones and HOMFLY polynomials of their closures at a fixed root of unity leads to the same value and that the closures of [Formula: see text] are alternating links.
