Triangular Poisson structures on Lie groups and symplectic reduction

We show that each triangular Poisson Lie group can be decomposed into Poisson submanifolds each of which is a quotient of a symplectic manifold. The Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer symplectic reduction technique is then used to give a complete description of the symplectic foliation of all triangular Poisson structures on Lie groups. The results are illustrated in detail for the generalized Jordanian Poisson structures on SL(n).

Degenerations and representations of twisted Shibukawa-Ueno R-operators

We study degenerations of the Belavin R-matrices via the infinite dimensional operators defined by Shibukawa-Ueno. We define a two-parameter family of generalizations of the Shibukawa-Ueno R-operators. These operators have finite dimensional representations which include Belavin's R-matrices in the elliptic case, a two-parameter family of twisted affinized Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices in the trigonometric case, and a two-parameter family of twisted (affinized) generalized Jordanian R-matrices in the rational case. We find finite dimensional representations which are compatible with the elliptic to trigonometric and rational degeneration. We further show that certain members of the elliptic family of operators have no finite dimensional representations. These R-operators unify and generalize earlier constructions of Felder and Pasquier, Ding and Hodges, and the authors, and illuminate the extent to which the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices (and their rational forms) are degenerations of Belavin's R-matrix.

The Double and Dual of a Quasitriangular Lie Bialgebra

Let G be a connected, simply connected Poisson-Lie group with quasitriangular Lie bialgebra g. An explicit description of the double D(g) is given, together with the embeddings of g and g^*. This description is then used to provide a construction of the double D(G). The aim of this work is to describe D(G) in sufficient detail to be able to apply the procedures of Semenov-Tian-Shansky and Drinfeld for the classification of symplectic leaves and Poisson homogeneous spaces for Poisson-Lie groups.

Quantization of certain skew-symmetric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation

An explicit quantization is given of certain skew-symmetric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter, yielding a family of $R$-matrices which generalize to higher dimensions the Jordanian $R$-matrices. Three different approaches to their construction are given: as twists of degenerations of the Shibukawa-Ueno Yang-Baxter operators on meromorphic functions; as boundary solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation; via a vertex-IRF transformation from solutions to the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation.

Generating functions for the coefficients of the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices

The coefficients of certain operators on $V\otimes V$ can be constructed using generating functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for some such operators to satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation. As a corollary we obtain a simple, direct proof that the Cremmer-Gervais R-matrices satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation. This approach also clarifies Cremmer and Gervais's original proof via the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation.

Nonstandard quantum groups associated to Belavin-Drinfeld triples

A construction is given of a family of non-standard quantizations of the algebra of functions on a connected complex semi-simple algebraic group. For each ``disjoint'' triple in the sense of Belavin and Drinfeld, a 2-cocycle is constructed on certain multi-parameter quantum groups. The new non-standard quantum groups are the Hopf algebras obtained by twisting the known quantum groups by these 2-cocycles. In particular, the Cremmer-Gervais quantization of $SL(3)$ can be constructed in this way.

Algebraic structure of multi-parameter quantum groups

Multi-parameter versions U_p(g) and C_p[G] of the standard quantum groups U_q(g) and C_q[G] are considered where G is a semi-simple connected complex algebraic group and g is the Lie algebra of G. The primitive spectrum of C_p[G] is calculated, generalizing a result of Joseph for the standard quantum groups. This classification is compared with the classification of symplectic leaves for the associated Poisson structure on G.

Double quantum groups and Iwasawa decomposition

The double quantum groups are the Hopf algebras underlying the complex quantum groups of which the simplest example is the quantum Lorentz group. They are non- standard quantizations of the double group $G \times G$. We construct a corresponding quantized universal enveloping algebra (QUE) and prove that the pairing between a quantum double group and its QUE is nondegenerate. We analyze the representation theory of these double quantum groups, give a detailed version of the Iwasawa decomposition proved by Podles and Woronowicz for the quantum Lorentz group, and show that they are noetherian algebras. Finally we outline a construction of more general non-standard quantum groups using quantum double groups and their generalizations.

On the Cremmer-Gervais quantizations of SL(n)

Non-standard quantum groups $C_R [GL(n)]$ and $C_R [SL(n)]$ are constructed for a two parameter version of the Cremmer-Gervais $R$-matrix. An epimorphism is constructed from $C_R [GL(n)]$ onto the restricted dual $U_{\bar{R}}(\frak{gl}(n-1))$ associated to a related smaller $R$-matrix of the same form. A related result is proved concerning factorizable Lie bialgebras. For any such Lie bialgebra, the dual Lie bialgebra has a canonical homomorphic image which is again factorizable.
