Description for Introduction to Quantum Groups and Crystal Bases
Hardcover. Quantum groups are certain families of Hopf algebras that are deformations of universal enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody algebras. This book aims to provide an elementary introduction to the theory of quantum groups and crystal bases, focusing on the combinatorial aspects of the theory. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 328 pages, bibliography, indexes. BIC Classification: PBF; PBMW; PBW; PHQ; PNT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 184 x 263 x 23. Weight in Grams: 796.
The notion of a 'quantum group' was introduced by V.G. Dinfeld and M. Jimbo, independently, in their study of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation arising from 2-dimensional solvable lattice models. Quantum groups are certain families of Hopf algebras that are deformations of universal enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody algebras. And over the past 20 years, they have turned out to be the fundamental algebraic structure behind many branches of mathematics and mathematical physics, such as solvable lattice models in statistical mechanics, topological invariant theory of links and knots, representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras, representation theory of algebraic structures, topological quantum field theory, ...
