Synopsis:

Quantum Algebra was originated in the 80s in the works of professor L. D. Faddeev and the Leningrad school on the inverse scattering method in order to solve integrable models. They have many applications in mathematics and mathematical physics such as the classification of nodes, in the theory of integrable systems and the string theory.

Requirements:

Basic course of Calculus and Linear Algebra (in particular, the courses 01MA1, 01MAA2-4, 01LAP, 01LAA2, TRLA held at the FNSPE CTU in Prague).

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Motivation, coalgebras, bialgebras and Hopf algebras. 2. Q-calculus. 3 The quantum algebra U_q(sl(2) and its representations. 4. The quantum group SL_q(2) and its representations. 5. The q-Oscillator algebras and their representations. 6. Drinfeld-Jimbo algebras, 7. Finite-Dimensional representations of Drinfeld-Jimbo Algebras. 8. Quasitriangularity and universal R- matrix.
