A class of non symmetric solutions for the integrability condition of the knizhinik-zamolodchikov equation: a hopf algebra approach (Q4241663)

Let \(M\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field \(k\). For \(R\) in \(\text{End}(M\otimes M)\), the Long equation is the system of equations \(R^{12}R^{13}=R^{13}R^{12}\) and \(R^{12}R^{23}=R^{23}R^{12}\) in \(\text{End}(M\otimes M\otimes M)\). It is known that any symmetric solution \(R\) yields a solution of the integrability conditions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation \([R^{12},R^{13}+R^{23}]=0\) [see, e.g., the book of \textit{C. Kassel}, Quantum groups, Springer Verlag (1995; Zbl 0808.17003)]. The author of the paper under review introduces a new class of bialgebras, called Long bialgebras, which are pairs \((H,\sigma)\), \(H\) a bialgebra, \(\sigma\) a bilinear form on \(H\) satisfying certain conditions. The main theorem is that any solution of the Long equation is of the form \(R=R_\sigma\), where \(M\) can be given a right comodule structure \(\rho\) over a Long bialgebra \((L(R),\sigma)\), and \(R_\sigma(m\otimes n)=\sum\sigma(m_1\otimes n_1)m_0\otimes n_0\), where \(\rho(m)=\sum m_0\otimes m_1\).
