Cubic Dirac operator for U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)

Publication date: 20 September 2022

Abstract: We construct the

q

-deformed Clifford algebra of

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}

and study its properties. This allows us to define the

q

-deformed noncommutative Weil algebra

m a t h c a l W_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

for

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

and the corresponding cubic Dirac operator

D_{q}

. In the classical case it was done by Alekseev and Meinrenken. We show that the cubic Dirac operator

D_{q}

is invariant with respect to the

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

-action and *-structures on

m a t h c a l W_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

, moreover, the square of

D_{q}

is central in

m a t h c a l W_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

. We compute the spectrum of the cubic element on finite-dimensional and Verma modules of~

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2})

and the corresponding Dirac cohomology.
