Quantum Deformations of Conformal Algebras Introducing Fundamental Mass Parameters

We consider new class of classical r-matrices for D=3 and D=4 conformal Lie algebras. These r-matrices do satisfy the classical Yang-Baxter equation and as two-tensors belong to the tensor product of Borel subalgebra. In such a way we generalize the lowest order of known nonstandard quantum deformation of sl(2) to the Lie algebras sp(4) = so(5) and sl(4) = so(6). As an exercise we interpret nonstandard deformation of sl(2) as describing quantum D=1 conformal algebra with fundamental mass parameter. Further we describe the D=3 and D=4 conformal bialgebras with deformation parameters equal to the inverse of fundamental masses. It appears that for D=4 the deformation of the Poincare algebra sector coincides with "null plane" quantum Poincare algebra.

Racah Sum Rule and Biedenharn-Elliott Identity for the Super-Rotation $6-j$ symbols

It is shown that the well known Racah sum rule and Biedenharn-Elliott identity satisfied by the recoupling coefficients or by the $6-j$ symbols of the usual rotation $SO(3)$ algebra can be extended to the corresponding features of the super-rotation $osp(1|2)$ superalgebra. The structure of the sum rules is completely similar in both cases, the only difference concerns the signs which are more involved in the super-rotation case.
