The Two-Dimensional Quantum Galilei Groups

Deformed and extended Galilei group Hopf algebras

The $\hatκ$-deformed extended Galilei Hopf group algebra, ${\rm Fun}_{\hatκ}(\tilde G_{(m)})$, is introduced. It provides an example of a cocycle bicrossproduct structure, and is shown to be the contraction limit of a pseudoextension of the $κ$-Poincaré group algebra. The possibility of obtaining another deformed extended Galilei groups is discussed, including one obtained from a non-standard Poincaré deformation.

Lie Bialgebra Structures for Centrally Extended Two- Dimensional Galilei Algebra and their Lie-Poisson Counterparts

All bialgebra structures for centrally extended Galilei algebra are classified. The corresponding Lie-Poisson structures on centrally extended Galilei group are found.

Lie Bialgebra Structures on Twodimensional Galilei Algebra and their Lie-Poisson Counterparts

All bialgebra structures on twodimensional Galilei algebra are classified. The corresponding Lie-Poisson structures on Galilei group are found.

Induced representations of the one dimensional quantum Galilei group

We study the representations of the quantum Galilei group by a suitable generalization of the Kirillov method on spaces of non commutative functions. On these spaces we determine a quasi-invariant measure with respect to the action of the quantum group by which we discuss unitary and irreducible representations. The latter are equivalent to representations on \ell^2, i.e. on the space of square summable functions on a one dimensional lattice.

Local representations of the (1+1) quantum extended Galilei algebra

We present the q-deformed counterpart of the local representations of the (1+1) extended Galilei group. These representations act on the space of wavefunctions defined in the space-time. As in the classical case the q-local representations are reducible and the condition of irreducibility is given by the q-Casimir equation that in the limit of the deformation parameter going to zero becomes the Schroedinger equation of a free particle.

Induced Representations of Quantum Groups

In this paper we show how to construct explicitly induced representations for bicrossproduct Hopf algebras with abelian kernels starting from one-dimensional characters of the commutative sector. We introduce this technique by means of two concrete physical examples: two quantum deformations of the (1+1) Galilei algebra.

Unitarity of induced representations from coisotropic quantum groups

We study unitarity of the induced representations from coisotropic quantum subgroups which were introduced in math.QA/9804138. We define a real structure on coisotropic subgroups which determines an involution on the homogeneous space. We give general invariance properties for functionals on the homogeneous space which are sufficient to build a unitary representation starting from the induced one. We present the case of the one-dimensional quantum Galilei group, where we have to use in all enerality our definition of quasi-invariant functional.

Elements of the theory of induced representations

We analyze the elements characterizing the theory of induced representations of Lie groups, in order to generalize it to quantum groups. We emphasize the geometric and algebraic aspects of the theory, because they are more suitable for generalization in the framework of Hopf algebras. As an example, we present the induced representations of a quantum deformation of the extended Galilei algebra in (1+1) dimensions.

Poisson--Lie contractions and quantum (1+1) groups

A Poisson--Hopf algebra of smooth functions on the (1+1) Cayley--Klein groups is constructed by using a classical $r$--matrix which is invariant under contraction. The quantization of this algebra for the Euclidean, Galilei and Poincaré cases is developed, and their duals are also computed. Contractions on these quantum groups are studied.

Quantum Algebras for Maximal Motion Groups of N-Dimensional Flat Spaces

An embedding method to get $q$-deformations for the non--semisimple algebras generating the motion groups of $N$--dimensional flat spaces is presented. This method gives a global and simultaneous scheme of $q$-deformation for all $iso(p,q)$ algebras and for those ones obtained from them by some Inönü--Wigner contractions, such as the $N$--dimensional Euclidean, Poincaré and Galilei algebras.

Possible contractions of quantum orthogonal groups

Possible contractions of quantum orthogonal groups which correspond to different choices of primitive elements of Hopf algebra are considered and all allowed contractions in Cayley--Klein scheme are obtained. Quantum deformations of kinematical groups have been investigated and have shown that quantum analog of (complex) Galilei group G(1,3) do not exist in our scheme.

On contractions of quantum orthogonal groups

The standard Faddeev quantization of the simple groups is modified in such a way that the quantum analogs of the nonsemisimple groups are obtained by contractions. The contracted quantum groups are regarded as the algebras of noncommutative functions generated by elements $J_{ik}t_{ik},$ where $J_{ik}$ are some products of generators of the algebra ${\bf D}(ι)$ and $t_{ik}$ are the noncommutative generators of guantum group. Possible contractions of quantum orthogonal groups essentially depend on the choice of primitive elements of the Hopf algebra. All such choices are considered for quantum …

Universal $R$--matrices for non-standard (1+1) quantum groups

A universal quasitriangular $R$--matrix for the non-standard quantum (1+1) Poincaré algebra $U_ziso(1,1)$ is deduced by imposing analyticity in the deformation parameter $z$. A family $g_μ$ of ``quantum graded contractions" of the algebra $U_ziso(1,1)\oplus U_{-z}iso(1,1)$ is obtained; this set of quantum algebras contains as Hopf subalgebras with two primitive translations quantum analogues of the two dimensional Euclidean, Poincaré and Galilei algebras enlarged with dilations. Universal $R$--matrices for these quantum Weyl algebras and their associated quantum groups are constructed.

(1+1) Schrodinger Lie bialgebras and their Poisson-Lie groups

All Lie bialgebra structures for the (1+1)-dimensional centrally extended Schrodinger algebra are explicitly derived and proved to be of the coboundary type. Therefore, since all of them come from a classical r-matrix, the complete family of Schrodinger Poisson-Lie groups can be deduced by means of the Sklyanin bracket. All possible embeddings of the harmonic oscillator, extended Galilei and gl(2) Lie bialgebras within the Schrodinger classification are studied. As an application, new quantum (Hopf algebra) deformations of the Schrodinger algebra, including their corresponding quantum universa…

Induced Representations of Quantum Kinematical Algebras and Quantum Mechanics

Unitary representations of kinematical symmetry groups of quantum systems are fundamental in quantum theory. We propose in this paper its generalization to quantum kinematical groups. Using the method, proposed by us in a recent paper (olmo01), to induce representations of quantum bicrossproduct algebras we construct the representations of the family of standard quantum inhomogeneous algebras $U_λ(iso_ω(2))$. This family contains the quantum Euclidean, Galilei and Poincaré algebras, all of them in (1+1) dimensions. As byproducts we obtain the actions of these quantum algebras on regular co-spa…
