TY - JOUR T1 - Quantum spin coverings and statistics JF - J. Phys. A 36 (2003), no. 13, 3829-3840 Y1 - 2003 A1 - Ludwik Dabrowski A1 - Cesare Reina AB - SL_q(2) at odd roots of unity q^l =1 is studied as a quantum cover of the complex rotation group SO(3,C), in terms of the associated Hopf algebras of (quantum) polynomial functions. We work out the irreducible corepresentations, the decomposition of their tensor products and a coquasitriangular structure, with the associated braiding (or statistics). As an example, the case l=3 is discussed in detail. PB - IOP Publishing UR - http://hdl.handle.net/1963/1667 U1 - 2451 U2 - Mathematics U3 - Mathematical Physics ER -
