Remarks on quantum groups
1991
We give a Poisson-bracket realization of SL q (2) in the phase space ℝ2. We then discuss the physical meaning of such a realization in terms of a modified (regularized) toy model, the nonregularized version of which is due to Klauder. Some general remarks and suggestions are also presented in this Letter.
Singular quadratic Lie superalgebras
2012
In this paper, we give a generalization of results in \cite{PU07} and \cite{DPU10} by applying the tools of graded Lie algebras to quadratic Lie superalgebras. In this way, we obtain a numerical invariant of quadratic Lie superalgebras and a classification of singular quadratic Lie superalgebras, i.e. those with a nonzero invariant. Finally, we study a class of quadratic Lie superalgebras obtained by the method of generalized double extensions.
Star calculus on Jacobi manifolds
2002
Abstract We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operators for contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds and we study some of its properties.
Some remarks concerning Nambu mechanics
1996
The structure of Nambu-Poisson brackets is studied and we establish that any Nambu tensor is decomposable. We show that every Nambu-Poisson manifold admits a local foliation by canonical Nambu-Poisson manifolds. Finally, a cohomology for Nambu (Lie) algebras which is adapted to the study of formal deformations of Nambu structures is introduced.
On a possible origin of quantum groups
1991
A Poisson bracket structure having the commutation relations of the quantum group SLq(2) is quantized by means of the Moyal star-product on C∞(ℝ2), showing that quantum groups are not exactly quantizations, but require a quantization (with another parameter) in the background. The resulting associative algebra is a strongly invariant nonlinear star-product realization of the q-algebra Uq(sl(2)). The principle of strong invariance (the requirement that the star-commutator is star-expressed, up to a phase, by the same function as its classical limit) implies essentially the uniqueness of the commutation relations of Uq(sl(2)).
Poisson-Nijenhuis structures and the Vinogradov bracket
1994
We express the compatibility conditions that a Poisson bivector and a Nijenhuis tensor must fulfil in order to be a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure by means of a graded Lie bracket. This bracket is a generalization of Schouten and Frolicher-Nijenhuis graded Lie brackets defined on multivector fields and on vector valued differential forms respectively.
New applications of graded Lie algebras to Lie algebras, generalized Lie algebras and cohomology
2007
We give new applications of graded Lie algebras to: identities of standard polynomials, deformation theory of quadratic Lie algebras, cyclic cohomology of quadratic Lie algebras, $2k$-Lie algebras, generalized Poisson brackets and so on.
Integrable Systems and Factorization Problems
2002
The present lectures were prepared for the Faro International Summer School on Factorization and Integrable Systems in September 2000. They were intended for participants with the background in Analysis and Operator Theory but without special knowledge of Geometry and Lie Groups. In order to make the main ideas reasonably clear, I tried to use only matrix algebras such as $\frak{gl}(n)$ and its natural subalgebras; Lie groups used are either GL(n) and its subgroups, or loop groups consisting of matrix-valued functions on the circle (possibly admitting an extension to parts of the Riemann sphere). I hope this makes the environment sufficiently easy to live in for an analyst. The main goal is…
