Deformation quasi-Hopf algebras of non-semisimple type from cochain twists (Q625487)

This paper deals with deformation quantizations of the universal enveloping algebras of a certain class of non-semisimple Lie algebras, and more particularly with proving that these deformations are cochain twists of their undeformed counterparts. The Lie algebras considered have the property that they can be obtained by contraction of semisimple Lie algebras; among them is the Poincaré algebra in \(3\) and \(4\) space-time dimensions which is the case of the clearest physical interest and it is an example treated in detail in this paper.
