Quantum $D = 3$ Euclidean and Poincar{e} symmetries from contraction limits


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Following the recently obtained complete classification of quantum-deformed $mathfrak{o}(4)$, $mathfrak{o}(3,1)$ and $mathfrak{o}(2,2)$ algebras, characterized by classical $r$-matrices, we study their inhomogeneous $D = 3$ quantum IW contractions (i.e. the limit of vanishing cosmological constant), with Euclidean or Lorentzian signature. Subsequently, we compare our results with the complete list of $D = 3$ inhomogeneous Euclidean and $D = 3$ Poincar{e} quantum deformations obtained by P.~Stachura. It turns out that the IW contractions allow us to recover all Stachura deformations. We further discuss the applicability of our results in the models of 3D quantum gravity in the Chern-Simons formulation (both with and without the cosmological constant), where it is known that the relevant quantum deformations should satisfy the Fock-Rosly conditions. The latter deformations in part of the cases are associated with the Drinfeld double structures, which also have been recently investigated in detail.
