By means of contractions of Lie algebras, we obtain new classes of indecomposable quasi-classical Lie algebras that satisfy the Yang-Baxter equations in its reformulation in terms of triple products. These algebras are shown to arise naturally from non-compact real simple algebras with non-simple complexification, where we impose that a non-degenerate quadratic Casimir operator is preserved by the limiting process. We further consider the converse problem, and obtain sufficient conditions on integrable cocycles of quasi-classical Lie algebras in order to preserve non-degenerate quadratic Casimir operators by the associated linear deformations.
In this paper, an explicit expression for the Casimir operator (or the Casimir invariant) of the inhomogeneous group ISL(n,R) in its enveloping algebra is proposed, which using contractions of the tenso- rial indices of the generating operators P^{rho} and E^{nu}{mu} may be presented in the following (slightly more comprehensible as equation (1)) form. The Casimir is obtained by symmetrizing this expression. This tensor form is useful in the classification of particles in affine gravitational gauge theories; such as that based on ISL(4,R). It is also proven that the Casimir of ISL(n,R) can be …
Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries, or equivalently Conformal Carroll symmetries, are intrinsically associated to null manifolds and in two dimensions can be obtained as an In{ö}n{ü}-Wigner contraction of the two-dimensional ($2d$) relativistic conformal algebra. Instead of performing contractions, we demonstrate in this paper how this transmutation of symmetries can be achieved by infinite boosts or degenerate linear transformations on coordinates. Taking explicit cues from the worldsheet theory of null strings, we show boosting the system is equivalent to adding a current-current deformati…
We describe the Lie algebra deformations of D=4 Maxwell superalgebra that was recently introduced as the symmetry algebra of a kappa-symmetric massless superparticle in a supersymmetric constant electromagnetic background. Further we introduce the D=3 Maxwell superalgebra and present all its possible deformations. Finally the deformed superalgebras are used to derive via a contraction procedure the complete set of Casimir operators for D=4 and D=3 Maxwell superalgebras.
The three-dimensional non-relativistic isometry algebras, namely Galilei and Newton-Hooke algebras, are known to admit double central extensions, which allows for non-degenerate bilinear forms hence for action principles through Chern-Simons formulation. In three-dimensional colored gravity, the same central extension helps the theory evade the multi-graviton no-go theorems by enlarging the color-decorated isometry algebra. We investigate the non-relativistic limits of three-dimensional colored gravity in terms of generalized İnönü-Wigner contractions.
The quantum duality principle is used to obtain explicitly the Poisson analogue of the kappa-(A)dS quantum algebra in (3+1) dimensions as the corresponding Poisson-Lie structure on the dual solvable Lie group. The construction is fully performed in a kinematical basis and deformed Casimir functions are also explicitly obtained. The cosmological constant $Λ$ is included as a Poisson-Lie group contraction parameter, and the limit $Λ\to 0$ leads to the well-known kappa-Poincaré algebra in the bicrossproduct basis. A twisted version with Drinfel'd double structure of this kappa-(A)dS deformation i…
We derive the non-relativistic $c\to\infty$ and ultra-relativistic $c\to 0$ limits of the $κ$-deformed symmetries and corresponding spacetime in (3+1) dimensions, with and without a cosmological constant. We apply the theory of Lie bialgebra contractions to the Poisson version of the $κ$-(A)dS quantum algebra, and quantize the resulting contracted Poisson-Hopf algebras, thus giving rise to the $κ$-deformation of the Newtonian (Newton-Hooke and Galilei) and Carrollian (Para-Poincaré, Para-Euclidean and Carroll) quantum symmetries, including their deformed quadratic Casimir operators. The corres…

Construction of superintegrable systems based on Lie algebras have been introduced over the years. However, these approaches depend on explicit realisations, for instance as a differential operators, of the underlying Lie algebra. This is also the case for the construction of their related symmetry algebra which take usually the form of a finitely generated quadratic algebra. These algebras often display structure constants which depend on the central elements and in particular on the Hamiltonian. In this paper, we develop a new approach reexamining the case of the generic superintegrable syst…
