Structure and representations of the quantum general linear supergroup (Q1290997)

The aim of the paper is to study the structure and representations of the quantum general linear supergroup \(GL_{q}(m|n)\) in a systematical fashion by investigating the algebra of its representative functions. The quantum general linear supergroup \(GL_{q}(m|n)\) is defined, as well as the superalgebra \(G_{q}\) of Hopf representation functions on it. This is done by defining the bi-superalgebras \(G_{q}^{\pi }\) and \(G_{q}^{\bar{\pi}}\), which are respectively generated by the matrix elements of the vector representation and its dual representation. Peter - Weyl type of bases for these bi-superalgebras are constructed. The \(G_{q}\) is defined to be generated by \(G_{q}^{\pi }\) and \(G_{q}^{\bar{\pi}}\) with some extra relations. It has the structures of a \(\ast \)-Hopf superalgebra, which separates points of \(U_{q}(gl(m|n))\), and factorizes into \(G_{q}^{\pi }G_{q}^{\bar{\pi}}\). The representation theory of the quantum supergroup and parabolic induction are treated. The geometrical interpretation of induced representations is discussed, leading naturally to the concepts of quantum homogeneous spaces and quantum super vector bundles. A quantum analog of Frobenius reciprocity is obtained; and a quantum version of the Borel-Weil theorem is proven for the covariant and contravariant tensorial representations. The explicit realizations of two infinite classes of tensorial representations in terms of sections of quantum super vector bundles over the quantum projective superspace is given.
