Abstract:
We discuss an analytic problem with roots in quantum group theory. When deforming commutation relations in universal enveloping algebras one sometimes encounters holomorphis functions that are not polynomials (for example, the $\mathrm{sinh}$ function). In the simplest case, the relation is of the form $xy-yx=h(y)$, where $h$ is a holomorphic function on some domain. If $h$ is not a polynomial, then it is natural to suppose that $x$ and $y$ are elements of a Banach algebra or an Arens-Michael algebra (i.e., a projective limit of Banach algebras). We show that the universal algebra generated by elements subject to the above condition is an analytic Ore extension. The construction involves a family $A_s$, $s\in(0,\infty]$, of local power series algebras. The appearence of $A_s$ follows from an asymptotic estimate for $\|(y-\lambda)^n\|$ as $n\to \infty$, where $\lambda$ is a zero of $h$, and $\|.\|$ is a submultiplicative seminorm (the estimate depends on the mutiplicity of $\lambda$). As an application, we consider the problem of embedding $A_s$ into holomorphically finitely generated algebras. In conclusion, some open problems will be discussed.
