Palatial Twistors from Quantum Inhomogeneous Conformal Symmetries and Twistorial DSR Algebras

We construct recently introduced palatial NC twistors by considering the pair of conjugated (Born-dual) twist-deformed D=4 quantum inhomogeneous conformal Hopf algebras Uθ(su(2,2)⋉T4) and Uθ¯(su(2,2)⋉T¯4), where T4 describes complex twistor coordinates and T¯4 the conjugated dual twistor momenta. The palatial twistors are suitably chosen as the quantum-covariant modules (NC representations) of the introduced Born-dual Hopf algebras. Subsequently, we introduce the quantum deformations of D=4 Heisenberg-conformal algebra (HCA) su(2,2)⋉Hℏ4,4 (Hℏ4,4=T¯4⋉ℏT4 is the Heisenberg algebra of twistorial oscillators) providing in twistorial framework the basic covariant quantum elementary system. The class of algebras describing deformation of HCA with dimensionfull deformation parameter, linked with Planck length λp, is called the twistorial DSR (TDSR) algebra, following the terminology of DSR algebra in space-time framework. We describe the examples of TDSR algebra linked with Palatial twistors which are introduced by the Drinfeld twist and the quantization map in Hℏ4,4. We also introduce generalized quantum twistorial phase space by considering the Heisenberg double of Hopf algebra Uθ(su(2,2)⋉T4).

Deformation quantization of principal bundles

We outline how Drinfeld twist deformation techniques can be applied to the deformation quantization of principal bundles into noncommutative principal bundles and, more in general, to the deformation of Hopf–Galois extensions. First, we twist deform the structure group in a quantum group, and this leads to a deformation of the fibers of the principal bundle. Next, we twist deform a subgroup of the group of automorphisms of the principal bundle, and this leads to a noncommutative base space. Considering both deformations, we obtain noncommutative principal bundles with noncommutative fiber and base space as well.

ON SUPERGROUPS WITH ODD CLIFFORD PARAMETERS AND SUPERSYMMETRY WITH MODIFIED LEIBNIZ RULE

We investigate supergroups with Grassmann parameters replaced by odd Clifford parameters. The connection with nonanticommutative supersymmetry is discussed. A Berezin-like calculus for odd Clifford variables is introduced. Fermionic covariant derivatives for supergroups with odd Clifford variables are derived. Applications to supersymmetric quantum mechanics are made. Deformations of the original supersymmetric theories are encountered when the fermionic covariant derivatives do not obey the graded Leibniz property. The simplest nontrivial example is given by the N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics with a real (1, 2, 1) multiplet and a cubic potential. The action is real. Depending on the overall sign ("Euclidean" or "Lorentzian") of the deformation, a Bender–Boettcher pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian is encountered when solving the equations of motions of the auxiliary field. A possible connection of our framework with the Drinfeld twist deformation of supersymmetry is pointed out.
