Quantum hyperdeterminants and hyper-Pfaffians

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The notion of generalized quantum monoids is introduced. It is proved that the quantum coordinate ring of the monoid can be lifted to a quantum hyper-algebra, in which the quantum determinant and quantum Pfaffian are sent to the quantum hyperdeterminant and quantum hyper-Pfaffian respectively. The quantum hyperdeterminant in even dimension is shown to be a q-analog of Cayley's first hyperdeterminant.


This paper introduces and studies certain quantum analogues of the classical hyperdeterminants and hyper-Pfaffian for hypermatrices. The authors introduce the notion of quantum hypermatrices and constructs a quantum deformation of Cayley's hyperdeterminant for any hypermatrix. It is shown that the quantum hyperdeterminant is a quantum volume element. The notion of quantum hyper-Pfaffian is also introduced and it is shown that it is given by a special volume element of a quantum \(2\)-form.
