Reflection Equation, Twist, and Equivariant Quantization

arXiv:math/0204295

Abstract

We prove that the reflection equation (RE) algebra $\La_R$ associated with a finite dimensional representation of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $\Ha$ is twist-equivalent to the corresponding Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan (FRT) algebra. We show that $\La_R$ is a module algebra over the twisted tensor square \twist{$\Ha$}{$\Ha$} and the double $\D(\Ha)$. We define FRT- and RE-type algebras and apply them to the problem of equivariant quantization on Lie groups and matrix spaces.
