Topics in hidden symmetries. IV

Abstract

This note being devoted to some aspects of the inverse problem of representation theory explicates the links between researches on the Sklyanin algebras and the author's (based on the noncommutative geometry) approach to the setting free of hidden symmetries in terms of "the quantization of constants". Namely, the Racah-Wigner algebra for the Sklyanin algebra is constructed. It may be considered as a result of the quantization of constants in the Racah-Wigner algebra for the Lie algebra $sl(2,C)$. The Racah-Wigner algebra for the Sklyanin algebra is an example of the noncommutative weighted shift operator algebras (NWSO-algebras), which generalize the mho-algebras introduced by the author earlier. If the Sklyanin algebra is interpreted as an algebra of anomalous spins then the Racah-Wigner algebra for it may be regarded as an enlargement of the Sklyanin algebra by operators of the anomalous spin-spin interaction (of tensor type).

Higher-Dimensional Algebra I: Braided Monoidal 2-Categories

We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give concise definitions of semistrict monoidal 2-categories and braided monoidal 2-categories, and show how these may be unpacked to give long explicit definitions similar to, but not quite the same as, those given by Kapranov and Voevodsky. Finally, we describe how to construct a semistrict braided monoidal 2-category Z(C) as the `center' of a semistrict monoidal category C. This is analogous to the construction of a braided monoidal category as the center, or `quantum double', of a monoidal category. As a corollary, our construction yields a strictification theorem for braided monoidal 2-categories.

Idempotents of Hecke algebras of type A

We use a skein-theoretic version of the Hecke algebras of type A to present three-dimensional diagrammatic views of Gyoja's idempotent elements, based closely on the corresponding Young diagram. In this context we give straightforward calculations for the eigenvalues of two natural central elements in the Hecke algebras, namely the full curl and the sum of the Murphy operators. We discuss their calculation also in terms of the framing factor associated to the appropriate irreducible representation of the quantum group SU(N,q).

Dual Affine Quantum Groups

Let $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, with its Sklyanin-Drinfel'd structure of Lie bialgebra, and let $\hat{\mathfrak{h}}$ be the dual Lie bialgebra. By dualizing the quantum double construction - via formal Hopf algebras - we construct a new quantum group $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{h}})$, dual of $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$. Studying its restricted and unrestricted integer forms and their specializations at roots of 1 (in particular, their classical limits), we prove that $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{h}})$ yields quantizations of $\hat{\mathfrak{h}}$ and $\hat{G}^\infty$ (the formal group attached to $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$), and we construct new quantum Frobenius morphisms. The whole picture extends to the untwisted affine case the results known for quantum groups of finite type.
