General Twisting of Algebras

چکیده
We introduce the concept of pseudotwistor (with particular cases called twistor and braided twistor) for an algebra (A,μ, u) in a monoidal category, as a morphism T : A⊗ A → A ⊗ A satisfying a list of axioms ensuring that (A,μ ◦ T, u) is also an algebra in the category. This concept provides a unifying framework for various deformed (or twisted) algebras from the literature, such as twisted tensor products of algebras, twisted bialgebras and algebras endowed with Fedosov products. Pseudotwistors appear also in other topics from the literature, e.g. Durdevich’s braided quantum groups and ribbon algebras. We also focus on the effect of twistors on the universal first order differential calculus, as well as on lifting twistors to braided twistors on the algebra of universal differential forms.

Twisted Graded Hecke Algebras
We generalize graded Hecke algebras to include a twisting twococycle for the associated finite group. We give examples where the parameter spaces of the resulting twisted graded Hecke algebras are larger than that of the graded Hecke algebras. We prove that twisted graded Hecke algebras are particular types of deformations of a crossed product.
متن کاملTwisted modules for vertex operator algebras and Bernoulli polynomials
Using general principles of the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an arbitrary twisting automorphism. The construction involves the Bernoulli polynomials in a fundamental way. This is explained through results in the general theory of...
متن کاملTwisting cocycles in fundamental representaion and triangular bicrossproduct Hopf algebras
We find the general solution to the twisting equation in the tensor bialgebra T (R) of an associative unital ring R viewed as that of fundamental representation for a universal enveloping Lie algebra and its quantum deformations. We suggest a procedure of constructing twisting cocycles belonging to a given quasitriangular subbialgebra H ⊂ T (R). This algorithm generalizes Reshetikhin’s approach...
متن کاملQuantum Group Actions, Twisting Elements, and Deformations of Algebras
We construct twisting elements for module algebras of restricted two-parameter quantum groups from factors of their R-matrices. We generalize the theory of Giaquinto and Zhang to universal deformation formulas for categories of module algebras and give examples arising from R-matrices of two-parameter quantum groups.
متن کاملCross Product Quantisation, Nonabelian Cohomology and Twisting of Hopf Algebras
This is an introduction to work on the generalisation to quantum groups of Mackey’s approach to quantisation on homogeneous spaces. We recall the bicrossproduct models of the author, which generalise the quantum double. We describe the general extension theory of Hopf algebras and the nonAbelian cohomology spaces H(H,A) which classify them. They form a new kind of topological quantum number in ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Differential Geometry and Twisting of Quantum Groups
We outline the recent classification of differential structures for all main classes of quantum groups. We also outline the algebraic notion of ‘quantum manifold’ and ‘quantum Riemannian manifold’ based on quantum group principal bundles, a formulation that works over general unital algebras.
