Generalized Cayley-Hamilton-Newton identities

The q-generalizations of the two fundamental statements of matrix algebra -- the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and the Newton relations -- to the cases of quantum matrix algebras of an "RTT-" and of a "Reflection equation" types have been obtained in [2]-[6]. We construct a family of matrix identities which we call Cayley-Hamilton-Newton identities and which underlie the characteristic identity as well as the Newton relations for the RTT- and Reflection equation algebras, in the sence that both the characteristic identity and the Newton relations are direct consequences of the Cayley-Hamilton-Newton identities.

Harmonic space and quaternionic manifolds

We find a principle of harmonic analyticity underlying the quaternionic (quaternion-Kähler) geometry and solve the differential constraints which define this geometry. To this end the original $4n$-dimensional quaternionic manifold is extended to a bi-harmonic space. The latter includes additional harmonic coordinates associated with both the tangent local $Sp(1)$ group and an extra rigid $SU(2)$ group rotating the complex structures. Then the constraints can be rewritten as integrability conditions for the existence of an analytic subspace in the bi-harmonic space and solved in terms of two unconstrained potentials on the analytic subspace. Geometrically, the potentials have the meaning of vielbeins associated with the harmonic coordinates. We also establish a one-to-one correspondence between the quaternionic spaces and off-shell $N=2$ supersymmetric sigma-models coupled to $N=2$ supergravity. The general $N=2$ sigma-model Lagrangian when written in the harmonic superspace is composed of the quaternionic potentials. Coordinates of the analytic subspace are identified with superfields describing $N=2$ matter hypermultiplets and a compensating hypermultiplet of $N=2$ supergravity. As an illustration we present the potentials for the symmetric quaternionic spaces.
