Geometry and Representations of the Quantum Supergroup OSPq(1|2n)

The quantum supergroup OSPq(1|2n) is studied systematically. A Haar functional is constructed, and an algebraic version of the Peter - Weyl theory is extended to this quantum supergroup. Quantum homogeneous superspaces and quantum homogeneous supervector bundles are defined following the strategy of Connes' theory. Parabolic induction is developed by employing the quantum homogeneous supervector bundles. Quantum Frobenius reciprocity and a generalized Borel - Weil theorem are established for the induced representations.

Geometry of Quantum Homogeneous Supervector Bundles and Representation Theory of Quantum General Linear Supergroup

The quantum general linear supergroup GLq(m|n) is defined and its structure is studied systematically. Quantum homogeneous supervector bundles are introduced following Connes' theory, and applied to develop the representation theory of GLq(m|n). Quantum Frobenius reciprocity is proven, and a Borel - Weil theorem is established for the irreducible covariant and contravariant tensor representations.

Quantum Group Duality and the Cuntz Algebra

The Cuntz algebra carries in a natural way the structure of a module algebra over the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(g)$, and the structure of a co-module algebra over the quantum group $G_q$ associated with $U_q(g)$. These two algebraic structures are dual to each other via the duality between $G_q$ and $U_q(g)$.

Geometry of Quantum Homogeneous Vector Bundles and Representation Theory of Quantum Groups I

Quantum homogeneous vector bundles are introduced by a direct description of their sections in the context of Woronowicz type compact quantum groups. The bundles carry natural topologies inherited from the quantum groups, and their sections furnish projective modules over algebras of functions on quantum homogeneous spaces. Further properties of the quantum homogeneous vector bundles are investigated, and their applications to the representation theory of quantum groups are explored. In particular, quantum Frobenius reciprocity and a generalized Borel-Weil theorem are established.

Symmetrizable Quantum Affine Superalgebras And Their Representations

Aspects of the algebraic structure and representation theory of the quantum affine superalgebras with symmetrizable Cartan matrices are studied. The irreducible integrable highest weight representations are classified, and shown to be deformations of their classical counterparts. It is also shown that Jimbo type quantum affine superalgebras can be obtained by deforming universal enveloping algebras of ordinary (i.e., non-graded) affine algebras supplemented by certain parity operators.

Structure And Representations Of The Quantum General Linear Supergroup

The structure and representations of the quantum general linear supergroup GLq(m|n) are studied systematically by investigating the Hopf superalgebra Gq of its representative functions. Gq is factorized into $Gq^π Gq^{\barπ}$, and a Peter - Weyl basis is constructed for each factor. Parabolic induction for the quantum supergroup is developed. The underlying geometry of induced representations is discussed, and an analog of Frobenius reciprocity is obtained. A quantum Borel - Weil theorem is proven for the covariant and contravariant tensorial irreps, and explicit realizations are given for classes of tensorial irreps in terms of sections of quantum super vector bundles over quantum projective superspaces.

Minimal Uncertainty States For Quantum Groups

The problem of how to obtain quasi-classical states for quantum groups is examined. A measure of quantum indeterminacy is proposed, which involves expectation values of some natural quantum group operators. It is shown that within any finite dimensional irreducible representation, the highest weight vector and those unitarily related to it are the quasi-classical states.

Lickorish Invariant And Quantum OSP(1|2)

Lickorish's method for constructing topological invariants of 3 - manifolds is generalized to the quantum supergroup setting. An invariant is obtained by applying this method to the Kauffman polynomial arising from the vector representation of Uq(osp(1|2)). A transparent proof is also given showing that this invariant is equivalent to the Uq(osp(1|2)) invariant obtained in an earlier publication.

The gl(M|N) Super Yangian and Its Finite Dimensional Representations

Methods are developed for systematically constructing the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the super Yangian Y(gl(M|N)) associated with the Lie superalgebra gl(M|N). It is also shown that every finite dimensional irreducible representation of Y(gl(M|N)) is of highest weight type, and is uniquely characterized by a highest weight. The necessary and sufficient conditions for an irrep to be finite dimensional are given.

Topological Quantum Field Theory and Seiberg-Witten Monopoles

A topological quantum field theory is introduced which reproduces the Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. Dimensional reduction of this topological field theory leads to a new one in three dimensions. Its partition function yields a three-manifold invariant, which can be regarded as the Seiberg-Witten version of Casson's invariant. A Geometrical interpretation of the three dimensional quantum field theory is also given.

Quantum supergroups and topological invariants of three - manifolds

The Reshetikhin - Turaeve approach to topological invariants of three - manifolds is generalized to quantum supergroups. A general method for constructing three - manifold invariants is developed, which requires only the study of the eigenvalues of certain central elements of the quantum supergroup in irreducible representations. To illustrate how the method works, $U_q(gl(2|1))$ at odd roots of unity is studied in detail, and the corresponding topological invariants are obtained.

The Quantum Super Yangian and Casimir Operators of $U_q(gl(M|N))$

The quantum super Yangian $Y_q(gl(M|N))$ associated with the Perk - Schultz solution of the Yang - Baxter equation is introduced. Its structural properties are investigated, in particular, an extensive study of its central algebra is carried out. A $Z_2$ graded associative algebra epimorphism $Y_q(gl(M|N))--> U_q(gl(M|N))$ is established and constructed explicitly. Images of the central elements of the quantum super Yangian under this epimorphism yield the Casimir operators of the quantum supergroup $U_q(gl(M|N))$ constructed in an earlier publication.

Finite dimensional representations of $U_q(C(n+1))$ at arbitrary $q$

A method is developed to construct irreducible representations(irreps) of the quantum supergroup $U_q(C(n+1))$ in a systematic fashion. It is shown that every finite dimensional irrep of this quantum supergroup at generic $q$ is a deformation of a finite dimensional irrep of its underlying Lie superalgebra $C(n+1)$, and is essentially uniquely characterized by a highest weight. The character of the irrep is given. When $q$ is a root of unity, all irreps of $U_q(C(n+1))$ are finite dimensional; multiply atypical highest weight irreps and (semi)cyclic irreps also exist. As examples, all the highest weight and (semi)cyclic irreps of $U_q(C(2))$ are thoroughly studied.
