The Cubic Dirac Operator for U_q(sl_2)
The cubic Dirac operator for a complex semisimple Lie algebra was introduced (in the algebraic setting) by Kostant in 1999. It has numerous applications in representation theory. In 2000, Alekseev and Meinrenken used it to study equivariant cohomology of
-manifolds. In this talk we will present a
-deformation of the cubic Dirac operator for
. In particular, we will discuss a possible
-deformation of the noncommutative Weil algebra of
.
