Dual pairs of quantum moment maps and doubles of Hopf algebras

Abstract

Given a dual pair of topological Hopf algebras A,A⁎, under mild conditions there exists a natural associative algebra homomorphism D(A)→H(A) between the corresponding Drinfeld double D(A) and Heisenberg double H(A). We construct this homomorphism using a pair of commuting quantum moment maps, and then use it to provide a homomorphism of certain reflection equation algebras. We also explain how the quantization of the Grothendieck–Springer resolution arises in this context.
