kappa-Minkowski spacetime as the result of Jordanian twist deformation

Two one-parameter families of twists providing kappa-Minkowski * -product deformed spacetime are considered: Abelian and Jordanian. We compare the derivation of quantum Minkowski space from two perspectives. The first one is the Hopf module algebra point of view, which is strictly related with Drinfeld's twisting tensor technique. The other one relies on an appropriate extension of "deformed realizations" of nondeformed Lorentz algebra by the quantum Minkowski algebra. This extension turns out to be de Sitter Lie algebra. We show the way both approaches are related. The second path allows us to calculate deformed dispersion relations for toy models ensuing from different twist parameters. In the Abelian case one recovers kappa-Poincar'e dispersion relations having numerous applications in doubly special relativity. Jordanian twists provide a new type of dispersion relations which in the minimal case (related to Weyl-Poincar'e algebra) takes an energy-dependent linear mass deformation form.

From Dark Energy to Dark Matter via Non-Minimal Coupling

Toy cosmological models based on non-minimal coupling between gravity and scalar dilaton-like field are presented in the framework of Palatini formalism. They have the following property: preceding to a given cosmological epoch is a dark energy epoch with an accelerated expansion. The next (future) epoch becomes dominated by some kind of dark matter.

Once again about quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra: twistings of q-deformation

This paper together with the previous one (arXiv:hep-th/0604146) presents the detailed description of all quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra as Hopf algebra in terms of complex and real generators. We describe here in detail two quantum deformations of the D=4 Lorentz algebra o(3,1) obtained by twisting of the standard q-deformation U_{q}(o(3,1)). For the first twisted q-deformation an Abelian twist depending on Cartan generators of o(3,1) is used. The second example of twisting provides a quantum deformation of Cremmer-Gervais type for the Lorentz algebra. For completeness we describe also twisting of the Lorentz algebra by standard Jordanian twist. By twist quantization techniques we obtain for these deformations new explicit formulae for the deformed coproducts and antipodes of the o(3,1)-generators.

New twisted quantum deformations of D=4 super-Poincare algebra

We show how some classical r-matrices for the D=4 Poincare algebra can be supersymmetrized by an addition of part depending on odd supercharges. These r-matrices for D=4 super-Poincare algebra can be presented as a sum of the so-called subordinated r-matrices of super-Abelian and super-Jordanian type. Corresponding twists describing quantum deformations are obtained in an explicit form. These twists are the super-extensions of twists obtained in the paper arXiv:0712.3962.

Jordanian Twist Quantization of D=4 Lorentz and Poincare Algebras and D=3 Contraction Limit

We describe in detail two-parameter nonstandard quantum deformation of D=4 Lorentz algebra $\mathfrak{o}(3,1)$, linked with Jordanian deformation of $\mathfrak{sl} (2;\mathbb{C})$. Using twist quantization technique we obtain the explicit formulae for the deformed coproducts and antipodes. Further extending the considered deformation to the D=4 Poincaré algebra we obtain a new Hopf-algebraic deformation of four-dimensional relativistic symmetries with dimensionless deformation parameter. Finally, we interpret $\mathfrak{o}(3,1)$ as the D=3 de-Sitter algebra and calculate the contraction limit $R\to\infty$ ($R$ -- de-Sitter radius) providing explicit Hopf algebra structure for the quantum deformation of the D=3 Poincaré algebra (with masslike deformation parameters), which is the two-parameter light-cone $κ$-deformation of the D=3 Poincaré symmetry.

Covariant Lagrangian Formulation of Chern-Simons and BF Theories

We investigate the covariant formulation of Chern-Simons theories in a general odd dimension which can be obtained by introducing a vacuum connection field as a reference. Field equations, Noether currents and superpotentials are computed so that results are easily compared with the well-known results in dimension 3. Finally we use this covariant formulation of Chern-Simons theories to investigate their relation with topological BF theories.

On Twist Quantizations of D=4 Lorentz and Poincare Algebras

We use the decomposition of o(3,1)=sl(2;C)_1\oplus sl(2;C)_2 in order to describe nonstandard quantum deformation of o(3,1) linked with Jordanian deformation of sl(2;C}. Using twist quantization technique we obtain the deformed coproducts and antipodes which can be expressed in terms of real physical Lorentz generators. We describe the extension of the considered deformation of D=4 Lorentz algebra to the twist deformation of D=4 Poincare algebra with dimensionless deformation parameter.

Basic Twist Quantization of the Exceptional Lie Algebra G_2

We present the formulae for twist quantization of $g_2$, corresponding to the solution of classical YB equation with support in the 8-dimensional Borel subalgebra of $g_2$. The considered chain of twists consists of the four factors describing the four steps of quantization: Jordanian twist, the two twist factors extending Jordanian twist and the deformed Jordanian or in second variant additional Abelian twist. The first two steps describe as well the $sl(3)$ quantization. The coproducts are calculated for each step in explicite form, and for that purpose we present new formulas for the calculation of similarity transformations on tensor product. We introduce new basic generators in universal enveloping algebra $U(g_2)$ which provide nonlinearities in algebraic sector maximally simplifying the deformed coproducts.

Jordanian Quantum Deformations of D=4 Anti-de-Sitter and Poincare Superalgebras

We consider a superextension of the extended Jordanian twist, describing nonstandard quantization of anti-de-Sitter ($AdS$) superalgebra $osp(1|4)$ in the form of Hopf superalgebra. The super-Jordanian twisting function and corresponding basic coproduct formulae for the generators of $osp(1|4)$ are given in explicit form. The nonlinear transformation of the classical superalgebra basis not modifying the defining algebraic relations but simplifying coproducts and antipodes is proposed. Our physical application is to interpret the new super-Jordanian deformation of $osp(1|4)$ superalgebra as deformed D=4 $AdS$ supersymmetries. Subsequently we perform suitable contraction of quantum Jordanian $AdS$ superalgebra and obtain new $κ$-deformation of D=4 Poincare superalgebra, with the bosonic sector describing the light cone $κ$-deformation of Poincare symmetries.

Conservation laws for non global Lagrangians

In the Lagrangian framework for symmetries and conservation laws of field theories, we investigate globality properties of conserved currents associated with non-global Lagrangians admitting global Euler--Lagrange morphisms. Our approach is based on the recent geometric formulation of the calculus of variations on finite order jets of fibered manifolds in terms of variational sequences.

Accelerated Cosmological Models in Ricci squared Gravity

Alternative gravitational theories described by Lagrangians depending on general functions of the Ricci scalar have been proven to give coherent theoretical models to describe the experimental evidence of the acceleration of universe at present time. In this paper we proceed further in this analysis of cosmological applications of alternative gravitational theories depending on (other) curvature invariants. We introduce Ricci squared Lagrangians in minimal interaction with matter (perfect fluid); we find modified Einstein equations and consequently modified Friedmann equations in the Palatini formalism. It is striking that both Ricci scalar and Ricci squared theories are described in the same mathematical framework and both the generalized Einstein equations and generalized Friedmann equations have the same structure. In the framework of the cosmological principle, without the introduction of exotic forms of dark energy, we thus obtain modified equations providing values of w_{eff}<-1 in accordance with the experimental data. The spacetime bi-metric structure plays a fundamental role in the physical interpretation of results and gives them a clear and very rich geometrical interpretation.

Universal differential calculus on ternary algebras

General concept of ternary algebras is introduced in this article, along with several examples of its realization. Universal envelope of such algebras is defined, as well as the concept of tri-modules over ternary algebras. The universal differential calculus on these structures is then defined and its basic properties investigated.

Basic Twist Quantization of osp(1|2) and kappa-- Deformation of D=1 Superconformal Mechanics

The twisting function describing a nonstandard (super-Jordanian) quantum deformation of $osp(1|2)$ is given in explicite closed form. The quantum coproducts and universal R-matrix are presented. The non-uniqueness of the twisting function as well as two real forms of the deformed $osp(1|2)$ superalgebras are considered. One real quantum $osp(1|2)$ superalgebra is interpreted as describing the $κ$-deformation of D=1, N=1 superconformal algebra, which can be applied as a symmetry algebra of N=1 superconformal mechanics.

A covariant formalism for Chern-Simons gravity

Chern--Simons type Lagrangians in $d=3$ dimensions are analyzed from the point of view of their covariance and globality. We use the transgression formula to find out a new fully covariant and global Lagrangian for Chern--Simons gravity: the price for establishing globality is hidden in a bimetric (or biconnection) structure. Such a formulation allows to calculate from a global and simpler viewpoint the energy-momentum complex and the superpotential both for Yang--Mills and gravitational examples.

Quantum de Rham complex with $d^3 = 0$ differential

In this work, we construct the de Rham complex with differential operator d satisfying the Q-Leibniz rule, where Q is a complex number, and the condition $d^3=0$ on an associative unital algebra with quadratic relations. Therefore we introduce the second order differentials $d^2x^i$. In our formalism, besides the usual two-dimensional quantum plane, we observe that the second order differentials $d^2 x$ and $d^2 y$ generate either bosonic or fermionic quantum planes, depending on the choice of the differentiation parameter Q.
