New realizations of algebras of the Askey-Wilson type in terms of Lie and quantum algebras

Abstract

The Askey-Wilson algebra is realized in terms of the elements of the quantum algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{su}(2))$ or $U_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))$. A new realization of the Racah algebra in terms of the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ or $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ is given also. Details for different specializations are provided. The advantage of these new realizations is that one generator of the Askey-Wilson (or Racah) algebra becomes diagonal in the usual representation of the quantum algebras whereas the second one is tridiagonal. This allows to recover easily the recurrence relations of the associated orthogonal polynomials of the Askey scheme. These realizations involve rational functions of the Cartan generator of the quantum algebras, they are linear with respect to the other generators and depend on the Casimir element of the quantum algebras.

Polylogarithmic characterizations of the reduced coaction Lie algebra and the double shuffle Lie algebra, and their relation to the Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra

The reduced coaction Lie algebra $\mathfrak{rc}_0$ is defined by a skew-symmetric condition together with an algebraic equation involving the reduced coaction, a non-cyclic refinement of the necklace cobracket. The double shuffle Lie algebra $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ encodes the regularized double shuffle relations in the study of formal multiple zeta values, while the Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}_2$ arose in the study of the Kashiwara--Vergne conjecture. Our main result is the description of $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ and $\mathfrak{rc}_0$ by vanishing conditions of different strengths on the same object: the defect of Drinfeld's pentagon equation; $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ is characterised by the vanishing of the associated two-variable multiple polylogarithms, and $\mathfrak{rc}_0$ by the vanishing of those whose second index has depth $1$. We also establish explicit relations among these three Lie algebras. First, the skew-symmetric elements of $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ embed into $\mathfrak{rc}_0$. Second, under an additional condition, we construct an injective Lie algebra morphism from $\mathfrak{rc}_0$ to $\mathfrak{krv}_2$.

Graded Necklace Lie Bialgebras and Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism

An involutive Lie bialgebra induces a Batalin-Vilkovisky operator on its exterior algebra. We introduce a graded generalization of the necklace Lie bialgebra, which depends on a choice of a quiver $Q$. We relate the resulting Batalin-Vilkovisky structure to the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure coming from a degree $-1$ symplectic form on a suitably defined representation variety of the quiver $Q$. The morphism intertwining these Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras will be given by a twisted trace, recovering the usual (super)trace and the odd trace.

Freeness and divisibility for right $H$-simple left $H$-comodule algebras over a pointed Hopf algebra $H$

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra and let $A$ be a right $H$-simple left $H$-comodule algebra. We show that every relative $(H,A)$-Hopf module is free as an $A$-module and that this freeness characterizes the class of pointed Hopf algebras. We give a criterion for the category of relative $(H,A)$-Hopf modules to be semisimple. We also show that $A$ can be embedded into a left $H$-comodule algebra of a specific form when $H$ and $A$ are $\mathbb{N}_0$-graded. As a consequence, we prove that if $H$ is finite-dimensional and $A^{\mathrm{co} H}=\Bbbk$, then $A$ is finite-dimensional and $\dim A$ divides $\dim H$.
