Derivatives in noncommutative calculus and deformation property of quantum algebras

The aim of the paper is twofold. First, we introduce analogs of (partial) derivatives on certain Noncommutative algebras, including some enveloping algebras and their "braided counterparts", namely, the so-called modified Reflection Equation algebras. By using these derivatives we construct an analog of the de Rham complex on these algebras. Second, we discuss deformation property of some quantum algebras and show that contrary to a commonly held view, in the so-called q-Witt algebra there is no analog of the PBW theorem. In this connection, we discuss different forms of the Jacobi condition related to quadratic-linear algebras.

Braided algebras and their applications to Noncommutative Geometry

We introduce the notion of a braided algebra and study some examples of these. In particular, R-symmetric and R-skew-symmetric algebras of a linear space V equipped with a skew-invertible Hecke symmetry R are braided algebras. We prove the "mountain property" for the numerators and denominators of their Poincare-Hilbert series (which are always rational functions). Also, we further develop a differential calculus on modified Reflection Equation algebras. Thus, we exhibit a new form of the Leibniz rule for partial derivatives on such algebras related to involutive symmetries R. In particular, we present this rule for the algebra U(gl(m)). The case of the algebra U(gl(2)) and its compact form U(u(2)) (which can be treated as a deformation of the Minkowski space algebra) is considered in detail. On the algebra U(u(2)) we introduce the notion of the quantum radius, which is a deformation of the usual radius, and compute the action of rotationally invariant operators and in particular of the Laplace operator. This enables us to define analogs of the Laplace-Beltrami operators corresponding to certain Schwarzschild-type metrics and to compute their actions on the algebra U(u(2)) and its central extension. Some "physical" consequences of our considerations are presented.

Braided Weyl algebras and differential calculus on U(u(2))

On any Reflection Equation algebra corresponding to a skew-invertible Hecke symmetry (i.e. a special type solution of the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation) we define analogs of the partial derivatives. Together with elements of the initial Reflection Equation algebra they generate a "braided analog" of the Weyl algebra. When $q\to 1$, the braided Weyl algebra corresponding to the Quantum Group $U_q(sl(2))$ goes to the Weyl algebra defined on the algebra $\Sym((u(2))$ or that $U(u(2))$ depending on the way of passing to the limit. Thus, we define partial derivatives on the algebra $U(u(2))$, find their "eigenfunctions", and introduce an analog of the Laplace operator on this algebra. Also, we define the "radial part" of this operator, express it in terms of "quantum eigenvalues", and sketch an analog of the de Rham complex on the algebra $U(u(2))$. Eventual applications of our approach are discussed.

Braided Differential Operators on Quantum Algebras

We define the braided differential algebras which can be interpreted as quantization of the differential operator algebra defined on some algebraic varieties supplied with the action of the group GL(m). The algebra is generated by right invariant or coajoint vector fields. Our main example is gl^*(m) and coadjoint orbits in it. The Heisenberg double on the quantum group Fun_q(GL(m)is a particular case of the suggested construction.

Representation theory of (modified) Reflection Equation Algebra of GL(m|n) type

Let R: V x V -> V x V be a Hecke type solution of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation (a Hecke symmetry). Then, the Hilbert-Poincre' series of the associated R-exterior algebra of the space V is a ratio of two polynomials of degree m (numerator) and n (denominator). Assuming R to be skew-invertible, we define a rigid quasitensor category SW(V) of vector spaces, generated by the space V and its dual V*, and compute certain numerical characteristics of its objects. Besides, we introduce a braided bialgebra structure in the modified Reflection Equation Algebra, associated with R, and equip objects of the category SW(V) with an action of this algebra. In the case related to the quantum group U_q(sl(m)), we consider the Poisson counterpart of the modified Reflection Equation Algebra and compute the semiclassical term of the pairing, defined via the categorical (or quantum) trace.

Geometry of non-commutative orbits related to Hecke symmetries

To some braiding R of Hecke type (a Hecke symmetry) we put into correspondence an associative algebra called the modified Reflection Equation Algebra (mREA). We construct a series of matrices L_(m), m=1,2,... with entries belonging to mREA such that each of them satisfies a version of the Cayley-Hamilton identity with central coefficients. We also consider some quotients of the mREA which are called the non-commutative orbits. For each of these orbits we construct a large family of projective modules. In this family we introduce an algebraic structure which is close to that of $K^0(\Fl(\C^n))$. The algebraic structure respects an equivalence relation motivated by a "quantum" trace compatible with the initial Hecke symmetry R. For a subclass of non-commutative orbits we compute the spectrum of central elements of the mREA Tr_R(L_(m)^k), k\in {\Bbb N}.

q-Index on braided non-commutative spheres

To some Hecke symmetries (i.e. Yang-Baxter braidings of Hecke type) we assign algebras called braided non-commutative spheres. For any such algebra, we introduce and compute a q-analog of the Chern-Connes index. Unlike the standard Chern-Connes index, ours is based on the so-called categorical trace specific for a braided category in which the algebra in question is represented.

Quantum line bundles on noncommutative sphere

Noncommutative (NC) sphere is introduced as a quotient of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra su(2). Using the Cayley-Hamilton identities we introduce projective modules which are analogues of line bundles on the usual sphere (we call them quantum line bundles) and define a multiplicative structure in their family. Also, we compute a pairing between certain quantum line bundles and finite dimensional representations of the NC sphere in the spirit of the NC index theorem. A new approach to constructing the differential calculus on a NC sphere is suggested. The approach makes use of the projective modules in question and gives rise to a NC de Rham complex being a deformation of the classical one.

Traces in braided categories

With any even Hecke symmetry R (that is a Hecke type solution of the Yang-Baxter equation) we associate a quasitensor category. We formulate a condition on R implying that the constructed category is rigid and its commutativity isomorphisms R_{U,V} are natural. We show that this condition leads to rescaling of the initial Hecke symmetry. We suggest a new way of introducing traces as properly normalized categorical morphisms End(V) --> K and deduce the corresponding normalization from categorical dimensions.

Quantum line bundles via Cayley-Hamilton identity

As was shown in \cite{GPS} the matrix $L=|| l_i^j||$ whose entries $l_i^j$ are generators of the so-called reflection equation algebra is subject to some polynomial identity looking like the Cayley-Hamilton identity for a numerical matrix. Here a similar statement is presented for a matrix whose entries are generators of a filtered algebra being a "non-commutative analogue" of the reflection equation algebra. In an appropriate limit we get a similar statement for the matrix formed by the generators of the algebra $U(gl(n))$. This property is used to introduce the notion of line bundles over quantum orbits in the spirit of the Serre-Swan approach. The quantum orbits in question are presented explicitly as some quotients of one of the mentioned above algebras both in the quasiclassical case (i.e. that related to the quantum group $U_q(sl(n))$) and a non-quasiclassical one (i.e. that arising from a Hecke symmetry with non-standard Poincaré series of the corresponding symmetric and skewsymmetric algebras).

Quantum Sphere via Reflection Equation Algebra

Quantum sphere is introduced as a quotient of the so-called Reflection Equation Algebra. This enables us to construct some line bundles on it by means of the Cayley-Hamilton identity whose a quantum version was discovered in \cite{PS}, \cite{GPS}. A new way to introduce some elements of "braided geometry" on the quantum sphere is discussed.

Characteristic Relations for Quantum Matrices

General algebraic properties of the algebras of vector fields over quantum linear groups $GL_q(N)$ and $SL_q(N)$ are studied. These quantum algebras appears to be quite similar to the classical matrix algebra. In particular, quantum analogues of the characteristic polynomial and characteristic identity are obtained for them. The $q$-analogues of the Newton relations connecting two different generating sets of central elements of these algebras (the determinant-like and the trace-like ones) are derived. This allows one to express the $q$-determinant of quantized vector fields in terms of their $q$-traces.
