Abstract

Any deformation of a Weyl or Clifford algebra can be realized through a change of generators in the undeformed algebra. q-Deformations of Weyl or Clifford algebrae that were covariant under the action of a simple Lie algebra g are characterized by their being covariant under the action of the quantum group $U_q g$. We present a systematic procedure for determining all possible corresponding changes of generators, together with the corresponding realizations of the $U_q g$-action. The intriguing relation between g-invariants and $U_q g$-invariants suggests that these changes of generators might be employed to simplify the dynamics of some g-covariant quantum physical systems.

On Irreducibility of Tensor Products of Yangian Modules

We study the tensor product $V$ of any number of "elementary" irreducible modules over the Yangian of the general linear Lie algebra. An elementary module is determined by a skew Young diagram and by a complex parameter, and contains a vector called singular. We give sufficient conditions for cyclicity in $V$ of the tensor product of these singular vectors. By using this result, we give an irreducibility criterion for $V$ when each of the skew Young diagrams determining the tensor factors has rectangular shape.

On the parametrization of solutions of the Yang--Baxter equations

We study all five-, six-, and one eight-vertex type two-state solutions of the Yang-Baxter equations in the form $A_{12} B_{13} C_{23} = C_{23} B_{13} A_{12}$, and analyze the interplay of the `gauge' and `inversion' symmetries of these solution. Starting with algebraic solutions, whose parameters have no specific interpretation, and then using these symmetries we can construct a parametrization where we can identify global, color and spectral parameters. We show in particular how the distribution of these parameters may be changed by a change of gauge.

Higher-Dimensional Algebra I: Braided Monoidal 2-Categories

We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give concise definitions of semistrict monoidal 2-categories and braided monoidal 2-categories, and show how these may be unpacked to give long explicit definitions similar to, but not quite the same as, those given by Kapranov and Voevodsky. Finally, we describe how to construct a semistrict braided monoidal 2-category Z(C) as the `center' of a semistrict monoidal category C. This is analogous to the construction of a braided monoidal category as the center, or `quantum double', of a monoidal category. As a corollary, our construction yields a strictification theorem for braided monoidal 2-categories.
