Representations of the cyclically symmetric q-deformed algebra soq(3)

Publication date 21 November 1999

Abstract: An algebra homomorphism

p s i

from the nonstandard q-deformed (cyclically symmetric) algebra

U_{q} (s o_{3})

to the extension

{h a t U}_{q} (s l_{2})

of the Hopf algebra

U_{q} (s l_{2})

is constructed. Not all irreducible representations of

U_{q} (s l_{2})

can be extended to representations of

{h a t U}_{q} (s l_{2})

. Composing the homomorphism

p s i

with irreducible representations of

{h a t U}_{q} (s l_{2})

we obtain representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

. Not all of these representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

are irreducible. Reducible representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

are decomposed into irreducible components. In this way we obtain all irreducible representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

when

q

is not a root of unity. A part of these representations turns into irreducible representations of the Lie algebra so

_{3}

when

q o 1

. Representations of the other part have no classical analogue. Using the homomorphism

p s i

it is shown how to construct tensor products of finite dimensional representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

. Irreducible representations of

U_{q} (s o_{3})

when

q

is a root of unity are constructed. Part of them are obtained from irreducible representations of

{h a t U}_{q} (s l_{2})

by means of the homomorphism

p s i

.
