A Jordanian quantum two-photon/Schrodinger algebra

A non-standard quantum deformation of the two-photon algebra $h_6$ is constructed, and its quantum universal R-matrix is given. Representations of this new quantum algebra are studied on the Fock space and translated into Fock-Bargmann realizations that provide a direct formalism for the definition of deformed states of light. Finally, the isomorphism between $h_6$ and the (1+1) Schrödinger algebra is used to introduce a new (non-standard) Hopf algebra deformation of this latter symmetry algebra.

Non-standard quantum so(3,2) and its contractions

A full (triangular) quantum deformation of so(3,2) is presented by considering this algebra as the conformal algebra of the 2+1 dimensional Minkowskian spacetime. Non-relativistic contractions are analysed and used to obtain quantum Hopf structures for the conformal algebras of the 2+1 Galilean and Carroll spacetimes. Relations between the latter and the null-plane quantum Poincaré algebra are studied.

Homogeneous phase spaces: the Cayley-Klein framework

The metric structure of homogeneous spaces of rank-one and rank-two associated to the real pseudo-orthogonal groups SO(p,q) and some of their contractions (e.g., ISO(p,q), Newton-Hooke type groups...) is studied. All these spaces are described from a unified setting following a Cayley-Klein scheme allowing to simultaneously study the main features of their Riemannian, pesudoRiemannian and semiRiemannian metrics, as well as of their curvatures. Some of the rank-one spaces are naturally interpreted as spacetime models. Likewise, the same natural interpretation for rank-two spaces is as spaces of lines in rank-one spaces; through this relation these rank-two spaces give rise to homogeneous phase space models. The main features of the phase spaces for homogeneous spacetimes are analysed.

"Cayley-Klein" schemes for real Lie algebras and Freudhental Magic Squares

We introduce three "Cayley-Klein" families of Lie algebras through realizations in terms of either real, complex or quaternionic matrices. Each family includes simple as well as some limiting quasi-simple real Lie algebras. Their relationships naturally lead to an infinite family of $3\times 3$ Freudenthal-like magic squares, which relate algebras in the three CK families. In the lowest dimensional cases suitable extensions involving octonions are possible, and for $N=1, 2$, the "classical" $3\times 3$ Freudenthal-like squares admit a $4\times 4$ extension, which gives the original Freudenthal square and the Sudbery square.

Casimir invariants for the complete family of quasi-simple orthogonal algebras

A complete choice of generators of the center of the enveloping algebras of real quasi-simple Lie algebras of orthogonal type, for arbitrary dimension, is obtained in a unified setting. The results simultaneously include the well known polynomial invariants of the pseudo-orthogonal algebras $so(p,q)$, as well as the Casimirs for many non-simple algebras such as the inhomogeneous $iso(p,q)$, the Newton-Hooke and Galilei type, etc., which are obtained by contraction(s) starting from the simple algebras $so(p,q)$. The dimension of the center of the enveloping algebra of a quasi-simple orthogonal algebra turns out to be the same as for the simple $so(p,q)$ algebras from which they come by contraction. The structure of the higher order invariants is given in a convenient "pyramidal" manner, in terms of certain sets of "Pauli-Lubanski" elements in the enveloping algebras. As an example showing this approach at work, the scheme is applied to recovering the Casimirs for the (3+1) kinematical algebras. Some prospects on the relevance of these results for the study of expansions are also given.

Harmonic Oscillator Lie Bialgebras and their Quantization

All possible Lie bialgebra structures on the harmonic oscillator algebra are explicitly derived and it is shown that all of them are of the coboundary type. A non-standard quantum oscillator is introduced as a quantization of a triangular Lie bialgebra, and a universal $R$-matrix linked to this new quantum algebra is presented.

Boson representations, non-standard quantum algebras and contractions

A Gelfan'd--Dyson mapping is used to generate a one-boson realization for the non-standard quantum deformation of $sl(2,\R)$ which directly provides its infinite and finite dimensional irreducible representations. Tensor product decompositions are worked out for some examples. Relations between contraction methods and boson realizations are also explored in several contexts. So, a class of two-boson representations for the non-standard deformation of $sl(2,\R)$ is introduced and contracted to the non-standard quantum (1+1) Poincaré representations. Likewise, a quantum extended Hopf $sl(2,\R)$ algebra is constructed and the Jordanian $q$-oscillator algebra representations are obtained from it by means of another contraction procedure.

Quantum Heisenberg--Weyl Algebras

All Lie bialgebra structures on the Heisenberg--Weyl algebra $[A_+,A_-]=M$ are classified and explicitly quantized. The complete list of quantum Heisenberg--Weyl algebras so obtained includes new multiparameter deformations, most of them being of the non-coboundary type.

Lie bialgebra quantizations of the oscillator algebra and their universal $R$--matrices

All coboundary Lie bialgebras and their corresponding Poisson--Lie structures are constructed for the oscillator algebra generated by $\{å,\ap,\am,\bb\}$. Quantum oscillator algebras are derived from these bialgebras by using the Lyakhovsky and Mudrov formalism and, for some cases, quantizations at both algebra and group levels are obtained, including their universal $R$--matrices.

Universal $R$-matrix for non-standard quantum $sl(2,\R)$

A universal $R$-matrix for the non-standard (Jordanian) quantum deformation of $sl(2,\R)$ is presented. A family of solutions of the quantum Yang--Baxter equation is obtained from some finite dimensional representations of this Lie bialgebra quantization of $sl(2,\R)$.

(2+1) null-plane quantum Poincaré group from a factorized universal $R$-matrix

The non-standard (Jordanian) quantum deformations of $so(2,2)$ and (2+1) Poincaré algebras are constructed by starting from a quantum $sl(2,\R)$ basis such that simple factorized expressions for their corresponding universal $R$-matrices are obtained. As an application, the null-plane quantum (2+1) Poincaré Poisson-Lie group is quantized by following the FRT prescription. Matrix and differential representations of this null-plane deformation are presented, and the influence of the choice of the basis in the resultant $q$-Schrödinger equation governing the deformed null plane evolution is commented.
