Banach Partial *-Algebras and Quantum Models

2007

C*-algebras are, as known, the basic mathematical ingredient of the Haag- Kastler (Haag and Kastler 1964) algebraic approach to quantum systems, with infinitely many degrees of freedom. The usual procedure starts, in fact, with associating to each bounded region V of the configuration space of the system the C*-algebra AV of local observables in V. The uniform completion A of the algebra generated by the AV ’s is then considered as the C*-algebra of observables of the system

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)).

Algebraic quantization on a group and nonabelian constraints

1989

A generalization of a previous group manifold quantization formalism is proposed. In the new version the differential structure is circumvented, so that discrete transformations in the group are allowed, and a nonabelian group replaces the ordinary (central)U(1) subgroup of the Heisenberg-Weyl-like quantum group. As an example of the former we obtain the wave functions associated with the system of two identical particles, and the latter modification is used to account for the Virasoro constraints in string theory.

Quantum groups and quantum complete integrability: Theory and experiment

Chen’s iterated integral represents the operator product expansion

1999

The recently discovered formalism underlying renormalization theory, the Hopf algebra of rooted trees, allows to generalize Chen’s lemma. In its generalized form it describes the change of a scale in Green functions, and hence relates to the operator product expansion. Hand in hand with this generalization goes the generalization of the ordinary factorial n! to the tree factorial t. Various identities on tree-factorials are derived which clarify the relation between Connes-Moscovici weights and Quantum Field Theory.

Module categories of finite Hopf algebroids, and self-duality

2017

International audience; We characterize the module categories of suitably finite Hopf algebroids (more precisely, $X_R$-bialgebras in the sense of Takeuchi (1977) that are Hopf and finite in the sense of a work by the author (2000)) as those $k$-linear abelian monoidal categories that are module categories of some algebra, and admit dual objects for "sufficiently many" of their objects. Then we proceed to show that in many situations the Hopf algebroid can be chosen to be self-dual, in a sense to be made precise. This generalizes a result of Pfeiffer for pivotal fusion categories and the weak Hopf algebras associated to them.

Lévy–Khintchine decompositions for generating functionals on algebras associated to universal compact quantum groups

2018

We study the first and second cohomology groups of the $^*$-algebras of the universal unitary and orthogonal quantum groups $U_F^+$ and $O_F^+$. This provides valuable information for constructing and classifying L\'evy processes on these quantum groups, as pointed out by Sch\"urmann. In the case when all eigenvalues of $F^*F$ are distinct, we show that these $^*$-algebras have the properties (GC), (NC), and (LK) introduced by Sch\"urmann and studied recently by Franz, Gerhold and Thom. In the degenerate case $F=I_d$, we show that they do not have any of these properties. We also compute the second cohomology group of $U_d^+$ with trivial coefficients -- $H^2(U_d^+,{}_\epsilon\Bbb{C}_\epsil…

Topological Hopf algebras, quantum groups and deformation quantization

2003

After a presentation of the context and a brief reminder of deformation quantization, we indicate how the introduction of natural topological vector space topologies on Hopf algebras associated with Poisson Lie groups, Lie bialgebras and their doubles explains their dualities and provides a comprehensive framework. Relations with deformation quantization and applications to the deformation quantization of symmetric spaces are described

A possible quantic motivation of the structure of quantum group: continuation

2012

Motivated by Quantum Mechanics considerations, we expose some cross product constructions on a groupoid structure. Furthermore, critical remarks are made on some basic formal aspects of the Hopf algebra structure.
