Kuperberg invariants for balanced sutured 3-manifolds

We construct quantum invariants of balanced sutured 3-manifolds with a ${\text {Spin}^c}$ structure out of an involutive (possibly nonunimodular) Hopf superalgebra H. If H is the Borel subalgebra of ${U_q(\mathfrak {gl}(1|1))}$ , we show that our invariant is computed via Fox calculus, and it is a normalization of Reidemeister torsion. The invariant is defined via a modification of a construction of Kuperberg, where we use the ${\text {Spin}^c}$ structure to take care of the nonunimodularity of H or $H^{*}$ .

Two-parameter Quantum Superalgebras and PBW Theorem

A class of two-parameter quantum algebras [Formula: see text] is constructed. It is shown that [Formula: see text] is a Hopf superalgebra. Then the PBW basis of [Formula: see text] is described. For this purpose, some commutative relations of root vectors of [Formula: see text] are given.

HOPF ALGEBRA STRUCTURE OF (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM SUPERSPACE, ITS DUAL AND ITS DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS

We consider a (2+1)-dimensional quantum superspace which has noncommuting coordinates in Manin sense and it was shown that this space has a Hopf algebra structure, i.e. the quantum supergroup, when it is extended by the inverse of the bosonic variable. Differential structures on this space were given by constructing the differential calculus in the sense of Woronowicz. Thus, we deduce that the corresponding quantum Lie superalgebra which as a commutation superalgebra appears classical, and as Hopf structure is non-cocommutative q-deformed. Finally, dual Hopf superalgebra was given.
