We reproduce earlier results on the corresponding q-deformed Hopf algebra and its universal R-matrix by means of contraction. We make the curious observation that the above algebra is related to kappa-Poincar\\'e symmetry. When dropping the graded part psl(2|2) we find a novel one-parameter deformation of the 3D kappa-Poincar\\'e algebra. Our construction also provides a concise exact expression for its universal R-matrix.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-17T18:59:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "universal r-matrix", "maximal extension sl", "concise exact expression", "3d kappa-poincare algebra", "reproduce earlier results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
