L-infinity morphisms are studied from the point of view of perturbative quantum field theory, as generalizations of Feynman expansions. The connection with the Hopf algebra approach to renormalization is exploited. Using the coalgebra…

Automorphism groups are intrincate conjugacy invariants for subshifts, which can reveal important features of the dynamical structure of a shift action. One important case is the study of automorphism groups when the underlying subshift has…

Two geometric interpretations of the bar automorphism in the positive part of a quantized enveloping algebra are given. The first is in terms of numbers of rational points over finite fields of quiver analogues of orbital varieties; the…
It is known that, for the algebra of functions on a Kleinian singularity, the parameter space of deformations and the parameter space of quantizations coincide. We prove that, for a Kleinian singularity of type $\mathbf{A}$ or $\mathbf{D}$,…
Motivated by the vast literature of quantum automorphism groups of graphs, we define and study quantum automorphism groups of matroids. A key feature of quantum groups is that there are many quantizations of a classical group, and this…
Let $Q$ be a connected quiver with no oriented cycles, $k$ the field of complex numbers and $P$ a projective representation of $Q$. We study the adjoint action of the automorphism group $\Aut_{kQ} P$ on the space of radical endomorphisms…
We construct for each choice of a quiver $Q$, a cohomology theory $A$ and a poset $P$ a "loop Grassmannian" $\mathcal{G}^P(Q,A)$. This generalizes loop Grassmannians of semisimple groups and the loop Grassmannians of based quadratic forms.…
