Irreducible representations of the quantum analogue of SU(2)

In this article, we obtain a complete list of inequivalent irreducible representations of the compact quantum group $U_q(2)$ for non-zero complex deformation parameters $q$, which are not roots of unity. The matrix coefficients of these representations are described in terms of the little $q$-Jacobi polynomials. The Haar state is shown to be faithful and an orthonormal basis of $L^2(U_q(2))$ is obtained. Thus, we have an explicit description of the Peter-Weyl decomposition of...

It is shown that the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum matrix algebra $ M_q(n) $ ( the coordinate ring of $ GL_q(n) $ ) exist only when q is a root of unity ( $ q^p = 1 $ ). The dimensions of these representations can only be one of the following values: $ {p^N \over 2^k } $ where $ N = {n(n-1)\over 2 } $ and $ k \in \{ 0, 1, 2, . . . N \} $ For each $ k $ the topology of the space of states is $ (S^1)^{\times(N-k)} \times [ 0 , 1 ] ^{(\times (k)} ...

The tensor products of (restricted and unrestricted) finite dimensional irreducible representations of $\uq$ are considered for $q$ a root of unity. They are decomposed into direct sums of irreducible and/or indecomposable representations.

The properties of the quantum Minkowski space algebra are discussed. Its irreducible representations with highest weight vectors are constructed and relations to other quantum algebras: $su_{q}(2)$, $q$-oscillator, $q$-sphere are pointed out.

We prove a highest weight theorem classifying irerducible finite--dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras and survey what is currently known about the structure of these representations.

The main result of this article is the decomposition of tensor products of representations of SL(2) in the sum of irreducible representations parametrized by outerplanar graphs. An outerplanar graph is a graph with the vertices 0, 1, 2, ..., m, edges of which can be drawn in the upper half-plane without intersections. I allow for a graph to have multiple edges, but don't allow loops.

We classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of affine Hecke algebras of type B_2 with unequal parameters.

Let $U_n(q)$ be the upper triangular group of degree $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, we present constructions of large degree ordinary irreducible representations of $U_n(q)$ where $n\geq 7$, and then determine the number of irreducible representations of largest, second largest and third largest degrees.

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a $*$-subalgebra of the Drinfeld double of $U_q(\mathfrak{su}(2))$ and its dual Hopf $*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_q(SU(2))$, generated by the equatorial Podle\'s sphere coideal $*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{O}_q(K\backslash SU(2))$ of $\mathcal{O}_q(SU(2))$ and ...

In [Kyushu J. Math. 64 (2010), 81-144, arXiv:0904.2889], it is discussed that a certain subalgebra of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ controls the second kind TD-algebra of type I (the degenerate $q$-Onsager algebra). The subalgebra, which we denote by $U'_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$, is generated by $e_0^+$, $e_1^\pm$, $k_i^{\pm1}$ $(i=0,1)$ with $e^-_0$ missing from the Chevalley generators $e_i^\pm$, $k_i^{\pm1}$ $(i=0,1)$ of $U_q(\widehat{\ma...
