Recently the second named author discovered a combinatorial identity in the context of vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We give a direct and elementary proof of this identity. Our method is to show a related identity of…

We investigate invertible projective representations and their 2-categorical analogues using the language of TQFTs with defects. The main result is a freeness property for invertible projective representatios. While trivial in the…

There are 6 types of 2-dimensional representations in general. For any groups and any monoids, we can construct the moduli of 2-dimensional representations for each type: the moduli of absolutely irreducible representations, representations…

Following the theory of principal $\infty$-bundles of Niklaus-Schreiber-Steveson, we develop a homotopy categorification of Hopf algebras, which model quantum groups. We study their higher-representation theory in the setting of…

We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We discuss symmetric monoidal…

In this article, we define and study the class of simple transitive $2$-representations of finitary $2$-categories. We prove a weak version of the classical Jordan-H\"older Theorem where the weak composition subquotients are given by simple…

We investigate Lie algebras whose Lie bracket is also an associative or cubic associative multiplication to characterize the class of nilpotent Lie algebras with a nilindex equal to 2 or 3. In particular we study the class of 2-step…

We describe quantum enveloping algebras of symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebras via a finite field Hall algebra construction involving Z_2-graded complexes of quiver representations.

The method of graded contractions, based on the preservation of the automorphisms of finite order, is applied to the affine Kac-Moody algebras and their representations, to yield a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras and…

We compute the mod $p$ cohomology algebra of a family of infinite discrete Kac-Moody groups of rank two defined over finite fields of characteristic different from $p$.

We study automorphic Lie algebras and their applications to integrable systems. Automorphic Lie algebras are a natural generalisation of celebrated Kac-Moody algebras to the case when the group of automorphisms is not cyclic. They are…

We realize the current algebra of a Kac-Moody algebra as a quotient of a semi-direct product of the Kac-Moody Lie algebra and the free Lie algebra of the Kac-Moody algebra. We use this realization to study the representations of the current…

We investigate in detail the class of Euclidean affine Kac-Moody symmetric spaces and their orthogonal symmetric affine Kac-Moody algebras (OSAKAs). These spaces are the only class of Kac-Moody symmetric spaces, that is not directly derived…

Let $A$ be a Cartan matrix and $G(A)$ be the Kac-Moody group associated to Cartan matrix $A$. In this paper, we discuss the computation of the rank $i_k$ of homotopy group $\pi_k(G(A))$. For a large class of Kac-Moody groups, we construct…

We describe the representation theory of C*-crossed-products of a unital C*-algebra A by the cyclic group of order 2. We prove that there are two main types of irreducible representations for the crossed-product: those whose restriction to…

We study branching problems for affine Kac--Moody algebras. Unlike the finite-dimensional case, an affine Kac--Moody algebra may contain proper subalgebras isomorphic to itself, such as winding subalgebras obtained by rescaling the loop…

We realize the enveloping algebra of the positive part of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra as a convolution algebra of constructible functions on module varieties of some Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras of dimension 1.

In \cite{BKN} the authors initiated a study of the representation theory of classical Lie superalgebras via a cohomological approach. Detecting subalgebras were constructed and a theory of support varieties was developed. The dimension of a…

We consider relationships between cubic algebras and implication algebras. We first exhibit a functorial construction of a cubic algebra from an implication algebra. Then we consider an collapse of a cubic algebra to an implication algebra…

This is an expository article developing some aspects of the theory of categorical actions of Kac-Moody algebras in the spirit of works of Chuang-Rouquier, Khovanov-Lauda, Webster, and many others.
