Abstract
LetV be a finite-dimensional vector space. Given a decompositionV⊗V=⊕ i=1,…n I i , definen quadratic algebrasQ(V, J (m)) whereJ (m)=⊕ i≠m I i . There is also a quantum semigroupM(V; I 1, …,I n ) which acts on all these quadratic algebras. The decomposition determines as well a family of associative subalgebras of End (V ⊗k), which we denote byA k =A k (I 1,…,I n ),k≥2. In the classical case, whenV⊗V decomposes into the symmetric and skewsymmetric tensors,A k coincides with the image of the representation of the group algebra of the symmetric groupS k in End(V ⊗k). LetI i,h be deformations of the subspacesI i . In this paper we give a criteria for flatness of the corresponding deformations of the quadratic algebrasQ(V, J (m),h ) and the quantum semigroupM(V;I 1,h ,…,I n,h ). It says that the deformations will be flat if the algebrasA k (I 1, …,I n ) are semisimple and under the deformation their dimension does not change.
Usually, the decomposition intoI i is defined by a given semisimple operatorS onV⊗V, for whichI i are its eigensubspaces, and the deformationsI i,h are defined by a deformationS h ofS. We consider the cases whenS h is a deformation of Hecke or Birman-Wenzl symmetry, and also the case whenS h is the Yang-Baxter operator which appears by a representation of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group. Applying the flatness criteria we prove that in all these cases we obtain flat deformations of the quadratic algebras and the corresponding quantum semigroups.
