Finite dimensional representations of the quantum Lorentz group (Q1189238)

The author proves the conjecture of Podles and Woronowicz about the quantum Lorentz group \(SL_ q(2,\mathbb{C})\), giving thereby an affirmative answer. Because this conjecture has a close relation with representation theory and it reduces to the study of finite dimensional representations of the quantum Lorentz group \(SL_ q(2,\mathbb{C})\), the author gives an explicit description of all finite dimensional irreducible representations for \(SL_ q(2,\mathbb{C})\), and proves that all finite dimensional representations of \(SL_ q(2,\mathbb{C})\) are completely reducible, i.e. \(V_ k\otimes V^*_ \ell\) and \(V_ k\otimes V^*_ \ell\otimes \mathbb{C}\bar\tau\), \(k,\ell\in \mathbb{N}\), give a complete set of representations for the isomorphism classes of all finite dimensional simple crossed bimodules for the *- Hopf algebra \(B_ q\) corresponding to the quantum group \(SU_ q(2)\); and all finite dimensional crossed bimodules for \(B_ q\) are completely reducible where \(V_ k\) (resp. \(V^*_ k\)) denotes the \(k+1\)-dimensional simple comodule for \(B_ q\) (resp. \(B_{q^{-1}}\)) and \(\bar\tau\) is a central group-like element of order 2 in \(E_ q\) but not in \(A_ q\).
