Representations of a quantum-deformed Lorentz algebra, Clebsch-Gordan map, and Fenchel-Nielsen representation of complex Chern-Simons theory at level-$N$

Abstract

A family of infinite-dimensional irreducible $\ast$-representations on $\mathcal{H}\simeq L^2(\mathbb{R})\otimes {\mathbb{C}}^N$ is defined for a quantum-deformed Lorentz algebra ${\mathcal{U}}_{\mathbf{q}}(s{l}_2)\otimes {\mathcal{U}}_{\tilde{\mathbf{q}}}(s{l}_2)$, where $\mathbf{q}=\exp [\frac{\pi i}{N}(1+b^2)]$ and $\tilde{\mathbf{q}}=\exp [\frac{\pi i}{N}(1+b^{-2})]$ with $N\in {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}$ and $|b|=1$. The representations are constructed with the irreducible representation of quantum torus algebra at level-$N$, which is developed from the quantization of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory. We study the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of the tensor product representation, and we show that it reduces to the same problem as diagonalizing the complex Fenchel-Nielson length operators in quantizing $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory on 4-holed sphere. Finally, we explicitly compute the spectral decomposition of the complex Fenchel-Nielson length operators and the corresponding direct-integral representation of the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, which we call the Fenchel-Nielson representation.
