11 The adjoint representation of quantum algebra U q sl Conclusion In the presented paper we have studied the decomposition of the adjoint representation of the quantum group U q sl2 By construction we modified this quantum group Uq sl2 by adding some formal series Let us mention that this deformation can be obtained from U h sl2 that contains the formal series The quantum group Uq sl2 is a subgroup in U h sl2 where we restrict ourselves to the special formal series especially to the formal series for K K 1 and E F = K K 1 q q 1 We showed that the decomposition of the quantum algebra Ûq sl2 is more complicated than the non-deformed case The modified space Ûq sl2 contains finite and infinite dimensional invariant subspaces and in addition this space is not fully reducible ie we cannot write it as a direct sum of invariant irreducible subspaces Of much interest is a duality between the subspaces Ûq sl2 with S > 0 and S 0 It would be useful to study whether this duality is a property of U q sl2 only or it is a general property for all quantum groups U q g Appendix In this appendix we show that the system 44 has a solution for which a 00 = 1 and that the solution fulfils relation 45 First we define the new variables α kr and β kr by the relations a kr = q 2kN 1 q q 1 2r αkr b kr = q 2k+1N 1 q q 1 2r+2 βkr With respect to these new variables the system 44 has the form 2k + 1 2L 2k βkk = L 2k α kk 2k + 1 2L 2k βkr = L 2k α kr + β k 1r 0 r k 1 2L 2k 1 αk+10 = α k0 2L 2k 1 αk+1r = L 2k 1 β kr 1 + α kr 1 r k 51 2L 2k 1 αk+1k+1 = L 2k 1 β kk which is valid for 0 k L 1 and the conditions 45 are of the form α LL = 0 β L 1r = L α Lr for 0 r L 1 52 For k L 1 we obtain from the first and last equations of 51 L 2k β kk = α kk 2k + 1 2L 2k L 2k 1 L 2k α k+1k+1 = α kk 2k + 1 2L 2k 1 2L 2k

12 12 Č Burdík O Navrátil and S Pošta which results in α kk = 1 2k! β kk = 2L 2k! 2L! L! L 2k! 1 2L 2k 1! L! 2k + 1! 2L! L 2k 1! 53 In particular from 53 we obtain α kk = 0 for k > 1 2 L and β kk = 0 for k > 1 2 L 1 and thus a LL = 0 Next for k r we put 2r 2L 2k 1 2r + 1 2L 2k 2 α kr = R kr β kr = S kr 2k 2L 2r 1 2k + 1 2L 2r 2 and we define 0 = 1 = 1 we obtain from 51 the system R k+10 R k0 = 0 R k+1r R kr = S k+1r S kr = 2k 2k + 1 2r 1 2L 2k 2 2r 2L 2k 1 2L 2r 1 2L 2r L 2k 1 Skr 1 r 1 2k + 1 2r 2L 2k 3 2r + 1 2L 2k 2 2L 2r 2 L 2k 2 Rk+1r r 0 2L 2r 1 This systems results in R k0 = 1 R kr = S kr = 2r 1 2r 2L 2r 1 k 1 2L 2r 2s 2s + 1 s=r 1 2L 2s 2 L 2s 1 S sr 1 r 1 2L 2s 1 2r 2L 2r 2 2r + 1 2L 2r 1 54 k s=r and the following relations: 2s 1 2L 2s 1 L 2s R sr r 0 2s 2L 2s R k0 r = 0 and S k r 1 = 0 for all k k 0 R kr = 0 for all k > k 0 S k0 r = 0 and R k r = 0 for all k > k 0 S kr = 0 for all k > k 0 To prove 52 it suffices to show the relation L L S L 10 = R L0 = 55 2L 2L

13 The adjoint representation of quantum algebra U q sl2 13 and that for any r 1 r 1 2 L we have R L r+1r = S L rr = 0 56 First we prove 55 In accordance with 54 we have L S L 10 = + 2L L 1 2L 2 2L 1 s=1 2s 1 2L 2s 1 L 2s 2s 2L 2s If we in substitute s L s in the sum we will discover that equation 55 holds The conditions R L r+1r = S L 1r = 0 for 1 r 1 2 L are equivalent to the equations L r s=r 1 L r s=r 2s 2L 2s 2 L 2s 1 S sr 1 = 0 2s + 1 2L 2s 1 2s 1 2s 2L 2s 1 2L 2s L 2s R sr = 0 57 To prove these equations we use 54 After an appropriate arrangement of the terms in the sums we can deduce that 57 is valid if the following statement holds: Let 1 r 1 2 L Then for L = 2J we have S J+sr 1 S J s 1r 1 = 0 for 0 s J r R J+sr R J sr = 0 for 1 s J r 58 and for L = 2J + 1 is S J+sr 1 S J sr 1 = 0 for 1 s J r + 1 R J+s+1r R J sr = 0 for 0 s J r 59 We will study the first case 58 Let 1 r J The relation R J+sr R J sr = 0 for 1 s J r with the use of 54 is equivalent to the equation J+s 1 t=j s 2t 4J 2t 2 2J 2t 1 S tr 1 S 2J t 1r 1 = 0 2t + 1 4J 2t 1 which is the consequence of the relation S J+sr 1 S J s 1r 1 = 0 for 0 s J r On the other hand for 2 r the equality S J+sr 1 S J s 1r 1 = 0 for 0 s J r is equivalent to the equation J+s t=j s 2t 1 4J 2t 1 2J 2t R tr 1 R 2J tr 1 = 0 2t 4J 2t and this is the consequence of the relation R J+sr 1 R J sr 1 = 0 for 1 s J r + 1 It follows from this consideration that for L = 2J all relations 58 are result of the relations S J+s0 S J s 10 = 0 for 0 s J 1 Similarly we can see that for L = 2J+1 the validity 58 follows from S J+s0 S J s0 = 0 for 1 s J

14 14 Č Burdík O Navrátil and S Pošta For L = 2J with the use of 54 the condition S J+s0 S J s 10 = 0 is equivalent to the equation J+s r=j s 2r 1 4J 2r 1 2J 2r = 0 2r 4J 2r which we can easily prove by substitution r 2J r and for L = 2J + 1 the condition S J+s0 S J s0 = 0 is equivalent to the equation J+s r=j s+1 2r 1 4J 2r + 1 2J 2r + 1 = 0 2r 4J 2r + 2 which is easily seen to hold after substitution r 2J r + 1 Acknowledgments The authors are grateful to M Havlíček and AU Klimyk for valuable and useful discussions This work was partially supported by GAČR 201/05/0857 and by research plan MSM References 1 Dixmier J Algebres Enveloppantes Gauthier-Villars Editeur Paris Kostant B Lie group representations on polynomial rings Am J Math Phys Kirillov A Elementy Teorii Predstavlenij Nauka Moscow 1972 English translation: Elements of the theory of representations Springer-Verlag Flath D Decomposition of the enveloping algebra of sl 3 J Math Phys Klimyk A and Schmüdgen K Quantum Groups and Their Representations Springer-Verlag Berli997 6 Joseph A and Letzler G Local finiteness of the adjoint action for quantized enveloping algebras J algebra
