THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 13th of November 2014, at 10:15 a.m.

Stanisław L. Woronowicz (KMMF WFUW)

will give a talk on

"Quantum SUq(2)-group with complex q"

Abstract
We shall show that the commutation relations defining the algebra A of functions on the quantum SUq(2)-group make sense also for non-real values of the deformation parameter q. However, in this case there is no comultiplication Δ acting from A into A⊗A. To regain the existence of Δ, we have to replace the tensor product by a sort of super tensor product. This way we arrive at a concept of a braided quantum group. The representation theory of the braided quantum SU(2) will be discussed.

This is a joint work of Paweł Kasprzak, Ralf Meyer, Sutanu Roy and myself.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
