ELEMENTARY PARABOLIC TWIST

Abstract

The twist deformations for simple Lie algebras [Formula: see text] whose twisting elements ℱ are known explicitly are usually defined on the carrier subspace injected in the Borel subalgebra [Formula: see text]. We consider the case where the carrier of the twist intersects nontrivially with both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The main element of the new deformation is the parabolic twist ℱ℘ whose carrier is the minimal parabolic subalgebra of simple Lie algebra [Formula: see text]. It has the structure of the algebra of two-dimensional motions, contains [Formula: see text] and intersects nontrivially with [Formula: see text]. The twist ℱ℘ is constructed as a composition of the extended jordanian twist [Formula: see text] and the factor [Formula: see text]. The latter can be considered as a special deformed version of the jordanian twist. The twisted costructure is found for [Formula: see text] and the corresponding universal ℛ-matrix is presented. The parabolic twist can be composed with certain types of chains of extended jordanian twists for algebras A2(n-1). The chains enlarged by the parabolic factor ℱ℘ perform the explicit quantization of the new set of classical r-matrices.
