Positive Representations of Split Real Quantum Groups: The Universal R Operator

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The universal R operator for the positive representations of split real quantum groups is computed, generalizing the formula of compact quantum groups Uq(g) by Kirillov-Reshetikhin and Levendorskiu{i}-Soibelman, and the formula in the case of Uqildeq(sl(2,R)) by Faddeev, Kashaev and Bytsko-Teschner. Several new functional relations of the quantum dilogarithm are obtained, generalizing the quantum exponential relations and the pentagon relations. The quantum Weyl element and Lusztig's isomorphism in the positive setting are also studied in detail. Finally we introduce a C∗-algebraic version of the split real quantum group in the language of multiplier Hopf algebras, and consequently the definition of R is made rigorous as the canonical element of the Drinfeld's double extbfU of certain multiplier Hopf algebra extbfUb. Moreover a ribbon structure is introduced for an extension of extbfU.
