Let $\lambda$ be a primitive root of unity of order $\ell$. We introduce a family of finite-dimensional algebras $\{\mathcal{D}_{\lambda,N}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\}_{N\in\mathbb{N}_0}$ over the complex numbers, such that…
We show that Khovanov homology (and its sl(3) variant) can be understood in the context of higher representation theory. Specifically, we show that the combinatorially defined foam constructions of these theories arise as a family of…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, possibly zero, and $G=q$-$\GL_3(k)$, the quantum group of three by three matrices as defined by Dipper and Donkin. We may also take $G$ to be $\GL_3(k)$. We first determine the…
We define a generalization of the idempotented Schur algebra which gives a unified setting for a quantum group presentation of the Homfly-Pt polynomial, together with its specializations to the Alexander polynomial and the slm…
We briefly describe how to introduce the basic notions of noncommutative differential geometry on the 3-dim quantum space covariant under the quantum group of rotations $SO_q(3)$.
This thesis studies the categorical formalisation of quantum computing, through the prism of type theory, in a three-tier process. The first stage of our investigation involves the creation of the dagger lambda calculus, a lambda calculus…
We encapsulate the basic notions of the theory of vertex algebras into the construction of a comonad on an appropriate category of formal distributions. Vertex algebras are recovered as coalgebras over this comonad.
The existing relation between the tomographic description of quantum states and the convolution algebra of certain discrete groupoids represented on Hilbert spaces will be discussed. The realizations of groupoid algebras based on qudit,…
The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
We study bounded and unbounded representations of the $*$-algebra $Q_{n,\lambda}(*)$ generated by $n$ idempotents whose sum equals $\lambda e$ ($\lambda\in{\mathbb C}$, $e$ is the identity).
We provide a new branching rule from the general linear group $GL_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ to the symplectic group $Sp_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ by establishing a simple algorithm which gives rise to a bijection from the set of semistandard tableaux of a…
In this paper we present a categorical version of the first and second fundamental theorems of the invariant theory for the quantized symplectic groups. Our methods depend on the theory of braided strict monoidal categories which are…
Temperley-Lieb algebras have been generalized to sl(3) web spaces. Since a cubic bipartite planar graph with suitable directions on edges is a web, the quantum sl(3) invariants naturally extend to all cubic bipartite planar graphs. First we…
We survey aspects of locally nilpotent linear groups. Then we obtain a new classification; namely, we classify the irreducible maximal locally nilpotent subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}(q, \mathbb F)$ for prime $q$ and any field $\mathbb F$.
We present the subalgebra structure of sl(3,O), a particular real form of e6 chosen for its relevance to particle physics and its close relation to generalized Lorentz groups. We use an explicit representation of the Lie group SL(3,O) to…
In this thesis, we give a unification of the quantum WRT invariants. Given a rational homology 3-sphere M and a link L inside, we define the unified invariants, such that the evaluation of these invariants at a root of unity equals the…
We introduce the notion of restricted dynamical quantum groups through their category of representations, which are monoidal categories with a forgetful functor to the category of $\pi$-graded vector spaces for a groupoid $\pi$.
In this paper, we introduce a quantum version of the wonderful compactification of a group as a certain noncommutative projective scheme. Our approach stems from the fact that the wonderful compactification encodes the asymptotics of matrix…
In this paper we categorify the q-Schur algebra S(n,d) as a quotient of Khovanov and Lauda's diagrammatic 2-category U(sln). We also show that our 2-category contains Soergel's monoidal category of bimodules of type A, which categorifies…
By considering `coloured' braid group representation we have obtained a quantum group, which reduces to the standard $GL_q(2)$ and $GL_{p,q}(2)$ cases at some particular limits of the `colour' parameters. In spite of quite complicated…
