Publisher Summary
This chapter focuses on the quantization of lie groups and lie algebras. The Algebraic Bethe Ansatz—the quantum inverse scattering method—emerges as a natural development of the various directions in mathematical physics: the inverse scattering method for solving nonlinear equations of evolution, the quantum theory of magnets, the method of commuting transfer-matrices in classical statistical mechanics, and factorizable scattering theory. The chapter discusses quantum formal groups, a finite-dimensional example, an infinite-dimensional example, and reviews the deformation theory and quantum groups.

Quantization of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras

In his study of Dirac structures, a notion which includes both Poisson structures and closed 2-forms, T. Courant introduced a bracket on the direct sum of vector fields and 1-forms. This bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity except on certain subspaces. In this paper we systematize the properties of this bracket in the definition of a Courant algebroid. This structure on a vector bundle $E\rightarrow M$, consists of an antisymmetric bracket on the sections of $E$ whose ``Jacobi anomaly'' has an explicit expression in terms of a bundle map $E\rightarrow TM$ and a field of symmetric bilinear forms on $E$. When $M$ is a point, the definition reduces to that of a Lie algebra carrying an invariant nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form. For any Lie bialgebroid $(A,A^{*})$ over $M$ (a notion defined by Mackenzie and Xu), there is a natural Courant algebroid structure on $A\oplus A^{*}$ which is the Drinfel'd double of a Lie bialgebra when $M$ is a point. Conversely, if $A$ and $A^*$ are complementary isotropic subbundles of a Courant algebroid $E$, closed under the bracket (such a bundle, with dimension half that of $E$, is called a Dirac structure), there is a natural Lie bialgebroid structure on $(A,A^{*})$ whose double is isomorphic to $E$. The theory of Manin triples is thereby extended from Lie algebras to Lie algebroids. Our work gives a new approach to bihamiltonian structures and a new way of combining two Poisson structures to obtain a third one. We also take some tentative steps toward generalizing Drinfel'd's theory of Poisson homogeneous spaces from groups to groupoids.

We prove that the recently introduced Yang–Baxter σ-model can be considered as an integrable deformation of the principal chiral model. We find also an explicit one-to-one map transforming every solution of the principal chiral model into a solution of the deformed model. With the help of this map, the standard procedure of the dressing of the principal chiral solutions can be directly transferred into the deformed Yang–Baxter context.

On integrability of the Yang–Baxter σ-model

We describe Hopf algebras which are central extensions of quantum current groups. For a special value of the central charge, we describe Casimir elements in these algebras. New types of generators for quantum current algebra and its central extension for quantum simple Lie groups, are obtained. The application of our construction to the elliptic case is also discussed.
