A Yang–Mills theory is presented using the Uq(2) quantum group. Unlike previous works, no assumptions are required — between the quantum gauge parameters and the quantum gauge fields (or curvature) — to get the quantum gauge variations of the different fields. Furthermore, an adequate definition of the quantum trace is presented. Such a definition leads to a quantum metric, which therefore allows us to construct a Uq(2) quantum Yang–Mills Lagrangian. The Weinberg angle θ is found in terms of this q metric to be [Formula: see text].

This review is an expansion of my talk at the conference on Sixty Years of Yang–Mills Theory. I review and explain the line of thoughts that lead to a recent joint work with Hu and Geer [Hu et al., arXiv:1502.03433] on the construction, exact solutions and ubiquitous properties of a class of quantum group gauge models on a honey-comb lattice. Conceptually the construction achieves a synthesis of the ideas of Yang–Baxter equations with those of Yang–Mills theory. Physically the models describe topological anyonic states in 2D systems.

These notes are a short review of the q-deformed fuzzy sphere [Formula: see text], which is a "finite" noncommutative two-sphere covariant under the quantum group U q( su (2)). We discuss its real structure, differential calculus and integration for both real q and q a phase, and show how actions for Yang–Mills and Chern–Simons-like gauge theories arise naturally. It is related to D-branes on the SU (2)k WZW model for [Formula: see text].
