We present classical groups SL⋆(2) and SU⋆(2) as well as classical Lie algebra sl2⋆(C) associated with a new associative multiplication on 2 × 2 matrices. The idea of the new multiplication is generalized to the action of a 2 × 2 square matrix on a 2 × 1 column one. The coordinate Hopf algebra O(SLq⋆(2)) is introduced as a q-generalization of Hopf algebra O(SL⋆(2)), and it is shown that the coordinate algebra corresponding to the quantum plane Cq2 is a SLq⋆(2)-left-covariant algebra. Furthermore, the quantized universal enveloping algebra Uq(sl2⋆) with the Hopf structure as a dual of O(SLq⋆(2)) is introduced. For each of the Hopf algebras O(SLq⋆(2)) and Uq(sl2⋆), we associate two different real forms with two inequivalent families of *-involutions, with O(SUq⋆(2)) and Uq(su2⋆) as one of the real forms. It is shown that the Hopf algebra pairing is a dual pairing of two Hopf *-algebras O(SUq⋆(2)) and Uq(su2⋆).
We introduce a Hopf algebra structure on the N = 2 quantum supersymmetry algebra and formulate a first order quantum differential calculus on it. Then, it is enhanced to three *-calculi by defining three appropriate involution maps on the quantum super-algebra. Two of the *-structures correspond to quantum complex super-algebra and the other correspond to a quantum real one. An appropriate quantum super-Hopf algebra including two even and two odd generators and also its corresponding quantum super-group are introduced. Compared to the quantum super-algebra, the quantum super-group also has three different *-structures. It is shown that the differential calculus over the quantum super-algebra is left-covariant with respect to the quantum super-group. Besides, it is shown that the graded differential algebra for the case q = 1 is a bicovariant bimodule over the undeformed Hopf supersymmetry algebra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
