Abstract

Orbits of the quantum dressing transformation forSU q (N) acting on its solvable dual are introduced. The case is considered when the corresponding classical orbits coincide with Grassmann manifolds. Quantization of the Poisson bracket on a Zariski open subset of the Grassmann manifold yields a *-algebra generated by the quantum coordinate functions. The commutation relations are written in a compact form with the help of theR-matrix. Finite-dimensional irreducible representations ofU h \((\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(N,\mathbb{C}))\) are derived from the *-algebra structure.
