We build, from the collection of all groups of unitriangular matrices, Hopf monoids in Joyal's category of species. Such structure is carried by the collection of class function spaces on those groups, and also by the collection of…
In this paper, we examine Kitaev's lattice model for an arbitrary complex, semisimple Hopf algebra. We prove that this model gives the same topological invariants as Turaev-Viro theory. Using the description of Turaev-Viro theory as an…
Universal $T$-matrices, or Hopf algebra dual forms, for quantum groups are revisited, and their contraction theory is developed. As a first illustrative example, the (1+1) timelike $\kappa$-Poincar\'e $T$-matrix is explicitly worked out.…
We study the Hopf equation which is equivalent to the pentagonal equation, from operator algebras. A FRT type theorem is given and new types of quantum groups are constructed. The key role is played now by the classical Hopf modules…
In this paper, we study the $G$-representation and character varieties of non-orientable closed surfaces. By means of a geometric method based on a Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT), we compute the virtual classes of these varieties…
We construct a new family, indexed by the odd integers $N\geq 1$, of $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum field theories called {\it quantum hyperbolic field theories} (QHFT), and we study its main structural properties. The QHFT are defined for…
We formulate a family of spin Topological Quantum Filed Theories (spin-TQFTs) as fermionic generalization of bosonic Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFTs. They are obtained by gauging $G$-equivariant invertible spin-TQFTs, or, in physics language,…
Let $U$ be a smooth connected complex algebraic variety, and let $f\colon U\to \mathbb C^*$ be an algebraic map. To the pair $(U,f)$ one can associate an infinite cyclic cover $U^f$, and (homology) Alexander modules are defined as the…
The Kazhdan-Lusztig parameters are important parameters in the representation theory of $p$-adic groups and affine Hecke algebras. We show that the Kazhdan-Lusztig parameters have a definite geometric structure, namely that of the extended…
We show that the graph TQFT for Heegaard Floer homology satisfies a strong version of Atiyah's duality axiom for a TQFT. As an application, we compute some Heegaard Floer mixed invariants of 4-dimensional mapping tori in terms of Lefschetz…
Based on different views on the Jones polynomial we review representation theoretic categorified link and tangle invariants. We unify them in a common combinatorial framework and connect them via the theory of Soergel bimodules. The…
We construct the TQFT on symplectic cohomology and wrapped Floer cohomology, possibly twisted by a local system of coefficients, and prove that the TQFT respects Viterbo restriction maps and the canonical maps from ordinary cohomology. We…
Using the shuffle structure of the graphs, we introduce a new kind of the Hopf algebraic structure for tagged graphs with, or without loops. Like a quantum group structure, its product is non-commutative. With the help of the Hopf algebraic…
By the Fourier transformations, any group-invariant functions over finite Abelian groups are transformed into group-invariant functions over the character groups. In this paper, we calculate matrix elements of this transformations under…
This paper provides a primer in quantum field theory (QFT) based on Hopf algebra and describes new Hopf algebraic constructions inspired by QFT concepts. The following QFT concepts are introduced: chronological products, S-matrix, Feynman…
We study (support) $\tau$-tilting modules over the trivial extensions of finite dimensional algebras. More precisely, we construct two classes of (support)$\tau$-tilting modules in terms of the adjoint functors which extend and generalize…
We consider a generalization of the basic fuzzy torus to a fuzzy torus with non-trivial modular parameter, based on a finite matrix algebra. We discuss the modular properties of this fuzzy torus, and compute the matrix Laplacian for a…
We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…
We count the connected components in the moduli space of PU(p,q)-representations of the fundamental group for a closed oriented surface. The components are labelled by pairs of integers which arise as topological invariants of the flat…
The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…
