Approximate symmetries and quantum algebras

Abstract: In Quantum Mechanics operators must be hermitian and, in a direct product space, symmetric. These properties are saved by Lie algebra operators but not by those of quantum algebras. A possible correspondence between observables and quantum algebra operators is suggested by extending the definition of matrix elements of a physical observable, including the eventual projection on the appropriate symmetric space. This allows to build in the Lie space of representations one-parameter families of operators belongin… Show more

“…This symmetry property of the coproduct can be imposed in any dimension and makes much easier the procedures of symmetrization and 'hermitation' [13]. In particular, given a certain Lie bialgebra (a, η), the above assumption implies that the first order deformation of the coproduct will be just given by the (skewsymmetric) Lie bialgebra cocommutator.…”

“…We point out that the definition (1.1) for the underlying cocommutator implies that the deformation parameter appear explicitly as multiplicative factors within the cocommutator.

“…Besides the proposed almost primitive basis, we would like to quote two other relevant bases that play a role both in mathematics and in physics: the Lie basis and the canonical/crystal basis. In the Lie basis (for instance, in twisting) the algebra remains unmodified and all deformations affect the coalgebra offering a possible way to introduce an interaction but saving the global symmetry [15]. In the canonical or crystal basis (with applications in statistical mechanics [16] and in genetics [17])), instead, the algebraic sector of the Hopf algebra structure is obtained in the limit |z| → ∞ [18,19] and coalgebra is a byproduct.…”

“…Note also that a choice among the bases has been informally done by the scientific community: without any official justification almost always U q (su(2)) is written in a basis similar to that described in eqs. (7,8), related to the analyticity of the whole scheme. Analyticity indeed allows to select this basis, we call analytical basis.…”

“…The co-product, on the contrary, is determined by the coalgebra to be not primitive. This basis could describe a conserved Lie symmetry where the presence of z = 0 is a signal of one interaction in the composed system [8]. 4) a basis g ∞ obtained in the limit z ′ → ∞, i.e.…”
