Commutation relations for arbitrary quantum minors.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Complete sets of commutation relations for arbitrary pairs of quantum minors are computed, with explicit coefficients in closed form.


Let \(A\) be the quantum coordinate algebra on square matrices. It is generated by elements \(X_{ij}\), \(i,j=1,\dots,n\), with defining relations \(X_{ij}X_{lj}=qX_{lj}X_{ij}\), \(i<l\), \(X_{ij}X_{im}=qX_{im}X_{ij}\), \(j<m\), \(X_{ij}X_{lm}=X_{lm}X_{ij}\), \(i<l\), \(j>m\), and \(X_{ij}X_{lm}-X_{im}X_{ij}=(q-q^{-1})X_{im}X_{lj}\) if \(i<l\), \(j<m\). It is shown that \(A\) is coquasitriangular with the bilinear form \(r\) such that \(r(X_{ii},X_{ii})=q\), \(r(X_{ii},X_{jj})=1\), \(i\neq j\), \(r(X_{ij},X_{ji})=q-q^{-1}\), \(i>j\), and \(r(X_{ij},X_{lm})=0\) otherwise. The author considers quantum minors \([I\mid J]\) which are quantum determinants, corresponding to a choice of a set of rows \(I\) and a set of columns \(J\). The main result of the paper establishes commutation relations of the form \(q^{|I\cap M|}[I\mid J][M\mid N]=q^{|J\cap N|}[M\mid N][I\mid J]+\cdots\) where \(\cdots \) is presented explicitly as a sum of minors of smaller sizes.
