Star Products on Coadjoint Orbits
2000
We study properties of a family of algebraic star products defined on coadjoint orbits of semisimple Lie groups. We connect this description with the point of view of differentiable deformations and geometric quantization.
Higher-Order Differential Operators on a Lie Group and Quantization
1995
This talk is devoted mainly to the concept of higher-order polarization on a group, which is introduced in the framework of a Group Approach to Quantization, as a powerful tool to guarantee the irreducibility of quantizations and/or representations of Lie groups in those anomalous cases where the Kostant-Kirilov co-adjoint method or the Borel-Weyl-Bott representation algorithm do not succeed.
A star-product approach to noncompact Quantum Groups
1995
Using duality and topological theory of well behaved Hopf algebras (as defined in [2]) we construct star-product models of non compact quantum groups from Drinfeld and Reshetikhin standard deformations of enveloping Hopf algebras of simple Lie algebras. Our star-products act not only on coefficient functions of finite-dimensional representations, but actually on all $C^\infty$ functions, and they exist even for non linear (semi-simple) Lie groups.
-Poincaré supergravities from Lie algebra expansions
2012
Abstract We use the expansion of superalgebras procedure (summarized in the text) to derive Chern–Simons (CS) actions for the ( p , q ) -Poincare supergravities in three-dimensional spacetimes. After deriving the action for the ( p , 0 ) -Poincare supergravity as a CS theory for the expansion osp ( p | 2 ; R ) ( 2 , 1 ) of osp ( p | 2 ; R ) , we find the general ( p , q ) -Poincare superalgebras and their associated D = 3 supergravity actions as CS gauge theories from an expansion of the simple osp ( p + q | 2 , R ) superalgebras, namely osp ( p + q | 2 , R ) ( 2 , 1 , 2 ) .
Noncompact Topological Quantum Groups
1995
A star-product construction of quantum semisimple real Lie groups is performed for the noncompact case.
The Nonlinear σ Model
1989
The nonlinear (principal) σ model has been for a long time a theoretical laboratory to test different approaches for quantizing classical field theories. Here we shall discuss as an application of the current algebra representation theory a construction of the quantized σ model.
Obtaining the Weyl tensor from the Bel-Robinson tensor
2010
The algebraic study of the Bel-Robinson tensor proposed and initiated in a previous work (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. {\bf 41}, see ref [11]) is achieved. The canonical form of the different algebraic types is obtained in terms of Bel-Robinson eigen-tensors. An algorithmic determination of the Weyl tensor from the Bel-Robinson tensor is presented.
Fermion Fields and Their Properties
2011
The fundamental building blocks of matter, i.e. quarks and leptons, carry spin 1/2. There are two formally different but in essence equivalent methods of describing particles with spin: The representation theory of the Poincare group, in the framework of Wigner’s classification hypothesis of particles (see e.g. [QP07], Chap. 6), and the Van der Waerden spinor calculus based on SL(2, \(\mathbb{C}\)).
Defining relations of the noncommutative trace algebra of two 3×3 matrices
2006
The noncommutative (or mixed) trace algebra $T_{nd}$ is generated by $d$ generic $n\times n$ matrices and by the algebra $C_{nd}$ generated by all traces of products of generic matrices, $n,d\geq 2$. It is known that over a field of characteristic 0 this algebra is a finitely generated free module over a polynomial subalgebra $S$ of the center $C_{nd}$. For $n=3$ and $d=2$ we have found explicitly such a subalgebra $S$ and a set of free generators of the $S$-module $T_{32}$. We give also a set of defining relations of $T_{32}$ as an algebra and a Groebner basis of the corresponding ideal. The proofs are based on easy computer calculations with standard functions of Maple, the explicit prese…
The Schur property on projective and injective tensor products
2008
The problem of whether the Schur property is passed from a Banach space to its (symmetric) projective n-fold tensor product is reformu lated in the language of polynomial ideals. As a result, a very closely related question is solved in the negative. It is also proved that the injective tensor product of infrabarrelled locally convex spaces with the Schur property has the Schur property as well.
