Abstract: It is known that the involution corresponding to the compact form is incompatible with comultiplication for quantum groups at $|q|=1$. In this paper we consider the quantum algebra of functions on the deformed space $T^{\ast }{G}_q$ which includes both the quantum group and the quantum universal enveloping algebra as subalgebras. For this extended object we construct an anti-involution which reduces to the compact form $\ast$-operation in the limit $qightarrow1$. The algebra of functions on $T^{\ast }{G}_q$ endowed with the $\ast$-operation may be viewed as an algebra of observables of a quantum mechanical system. The most natural interpretation for such a system is a deformation of the quantum symmetric top. We suggest a discrete dynamics for this system which imitates the free motion of the top.

Review text

The quantum analog \((T^* G)_q\) of the cotangent bundle for a compact Lie group is introduced for \(|q|=1\). In other words, the deformation of the algebra of functions over \(T^* G\) is constructed in such a way that the derivative of the deformation is the canonical Poisson algebra of functions over \(T^* G\). The algebra \(\text{Fun} (T^* G)_q\) is a quadratic algebra with anti-involution, containing the quantized enveloping algebra \(U_q ({\mathfrak g})\) and its dual \(\text{Fun}_q (G)\) as subalgebras. A discrete dynamical system is defined on \(\text{Fun} (T^* G)_q\). This dynamical system is a \(q\)-deformation of the quantum top.
