Aspects of Quantum Groups and Integrable Systems

چکیده
Many q-differential operators arise in the study of q-special functions, Casimir operators, quantum groups, and representation theory. There are also natural origins via quantum integrable systems and the quantization of classical integrable systems. The latter is often expressed via a q-hierarchy picture akin to the standard Hirota–Lax–Sato formulation and this has many canonical aspects. On the other hand one can produce a great number of q-differential operators by more or less ad hoc manipulation of noncommutative differential calculi or by variations of classical Lie group methods applied to quantum groups. We examine first the hierarchy picture briefly and notice that although the standard methods generalize quite readily the resulting KP or KdV equations for example seem to have an infinite number of terms whereas many “ad hoc” derivations from differential calculi or e.g. Maurer–Cartan arguments have only a finite number of terms and there is no clear way to determine if in fact such equations have any intrinsic meaning. We show that the standard derivation of KdV via vector fields on the unit circle and the smooth dual space of Lax operators can be extended to a q-situation using a q-Virasoro algebra and we produce a corresponding qKdV equation with an infinite number of terms; this seems to be a fairly canonical derivation and we suggest that it could be equivalent to the hierarchy qKdV equation (not yet proved). This approach to KdV via the unit circle with its attendant UrKdV–mKdV equations, Schwarzian derivatives, projective geometry, etc. has another connection to quantum mechanics (QM) via the beautiful equivalence principle of Faraggi–Matone and we use this as a motivational background (cf. [1]). In this connection we remark that in fact KP for example can already be considered as a Moyal quantization of dKP (dispersionless KP) and it is not clear just what role the qKP or qKdV equations can play in quantum mechanics; however for completeness we also indicate a few approaches to Moyal type integrable equations.

Remarks on Q-calculus and Integrability
Integrable systems such as qKP have been frequently studied in recent years (see e.g. [1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 29, 30]). Also various noncommutative (NC) integrable models connecting frequently to Moyal deformations arise in the literature (see e.g. [7, 14, 15, 16, 22, 23]). In view of the intimate relations between integrable systems, differential calculi, and virtually all asp...
متن کاملThe Quantum Double in Integrable Quantum Field Theory
Various aspects of recent works on affine quantum group symmetry of integrable 2d quantum field theory are reviewed and further clarified. A geometrical meaning is given to the quantum double, and other properties of quantum groups. Multiplicative presentations of the Yangian double are analyzed.
متن کاملGroup Theory Structures Underlying Integrable Systems 1
Different group structures which underline the integrable systems are considered. In some cases, the quantization of the integrable system can be provided with substituting groups by their quantum counterparts. However, some other group structures keep non-deformed in the course of quantizing the integrable system although their treatment is to be changed. Manifest examples of the KP/Toda hiera...
متن کاملIntegrable Quantum Mappings and Quantization Aspects of Integrable Discrete-time Systems
We study a quantum Yang-Baxter structure associated with non-ultralocal lattice models. We discuss the canonical structure of a class of integrable quantum mappings, i.e. canonical transformations preserving the basic commutation relations. As a particular class of solutions we present two examples of quantum mappings associated with the lattice analogues of the KdV and MKdV equations, together...
