Abstract

In these lectures we develop the projection operator method for quantum groups. Here the term "quantum groups" means q-deformed universal enveloping algebras of contragredient Lie (super)algebras of finite growth. Contains of the lectures can be divided on two parts. Basis fragments of the first part are: combinatorial structure of root systems, the q-analog of the Cartan-Weyl basis, the extremal projector and the universal R-matrix for any contragredient Lie (super)algebra of finite growth. The explicit expressions for the extremal projectors and the universal R-matrices are ordered products of special q-series depending on noncommutative Cartan-Weyl generators. In second part we consider some applications of the extremal projectors. Here we use the projector operator method to develop the theory of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the quantum algebras U_q(su(2)) and U_q(su(3)). In particular, we give a very compact general formula for the canonical U_q(su(3))\supset U_q(su(2)) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients in terms of the U_q(su(2)) Wigner 3nj-symbols which are connected with the basic hyperheometric series. Then we apply the projection operator method for the construction of the q-analog of the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for U_q(su(n)). Finally using analogy between the extremal projector p(U_q(sl(2))) of the quantum algebra U_q(sl(2)) and the δ(x)-function we introduce 'adjoint extremal projectors' p^{(n)}(U_q(sl(2)) (n=1,2,...) which are some generalizations of the extremal projector p(U_q(sl(2))), and which are analogies of the derivatives of the δ(x)-function, δ^{(n)}(x).

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 $\dim H$.

$C_2$-Cofiniteness and Rationality of the Icosahedral Orbifold $V_{L_2}^{A_5}$

Let $L_2=\mathbb{Z}α$ be the rank-one root lattice with $(α,α)=2$, and let $A_5$ act on the lattice vertex operator algebra $V_{L_2}$ through an icosahedral subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(V_{L_2})\cong PSL_2(\mathbb{C})$. We prove that the fixed-point vertex operator algebra $V_{L_2}^{A_5}$ is strongly rational.
