Quantum group sigma models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Field-theoretic models for fields taking values in quantum groups are investigated. First we consider SUq(2) sigma model (q real) expressed in terms of basic notions of noncommutative differential geometry. We discuss the case in which the sigma models fields are represented as products of conventional sigma fields and of the coordinate-independent algebra. An explicit example is provided by the Uq(2) sigma model with qspN=1, in which case quantum matrices Uq(2) are realised as 2Nimes2N unitary matrices. Open problems are pointed out.
