The similarity of the commutation relations for bosons and quasibosons (fermion pairs) suggests the possibility that all integral spin particles presently considered to be bosons could be quasibosons. The boson commutation relations for…
A model in which quarks and leptons consist of three "more elementary" particles of spin 1/2 is proposed. A gauge field theory with SU(4) symmetry that corresponds to this model predicts the existence of two new bosons.
In this paper we prove two theorems which resemble the classical cohomological and homological Brown representability theorems. The main difference is that our results classify small contravariant functors from spaces to spaces up to weak…
We construct new examples of ergodic coactions of compact quantum groups, in which the multiplicity of an irreducible corepresentation can be strictly larger than the dimension of the latter. These examples are obtained using a bijective…
We study the classical motion of a particle subject to a stochastic force. We then present a perturbative schema for the associated Fokker-Planck equation where, in the limit of a vanishingly small noise source, a consistent dynamical model…
A general framework for obtaining certain types of contracted and centrally extended algebras is presented. The whole process relies on the existence of quadratic algebras, which appear in the context of boundary integrable models.
A representation theorem for non-semibounded Hermitian quadratic forms in terms of a (non-semibounded) self-adjoint operator is proven. The main assumptions are closability of the Hermitian quadratic form, the direct integral structure of…
Supersymmetry can be consistently generalized in one and two dimensional spaces, fractional supersymmetry being one of the possible extension. 2D fractional supersymmetry of arbitrary order $F$ is explicitly constructed using an adapted…
In this note, we provide some categorical perspectives on the relativization construction arising from quantum measurement theory in the presence of symmetries and occupying a central place in the operational approach to quantum reference…
Motivated by the work of of A. Zelevinsky on positive self-adjoint Hopf algebras, we define what we call a symmetric self-adjoint Hopf structure for a certain kind of semisimple abelian categories. It is known that every positive…
We construct explicitly the quantum symplectic affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{sp}_{2n})$ using bosonic fields. The Fock space decomposes into irreducible modules of level -1/2, quantizing the Feingold-Frenkel construction for q=1.
Qubits are neither fermions nor bosons. A Fock space description of qubits leads to a mapping from qubits to parafermions: particles with a hybrid boson-fermion quantum statistics. We study this mapping in detail, and use it to provide a…
Anyonic oscillators with fractional statistics are built on a two-dimensional square lattice by means of a generalized Jordan-Wigner construction, and their deformed commutation relations are thoroughly discussed. Such anyonic oscillators,…
A unitary fusion category is called $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-quadratic if it has a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ group of invertible objects and one other orbit of simple objects under the action of this group. We give a complete classification…
We exhibit an extension of the category of class two nilpotent groups. It has the same objects but, unlike the latter, its morphisms are closed under pointwise addition of maps. At the same time the class of its morphisms is much smaller…
In an earlier paper of the author, locally compact quantum torsors were defined for locally compact quantum groups, putting into the analytic framework the theory of Galois objects for Hopf algebras. Such quantum torsors allow to deform the…
We derive single-particle and two-particle correlators of anyons in the presence of a magnetic field in the lowest Landau level. We show that the two-particle correlator exhibits signatures of fractional statistics which can distinguish…
The classical limit of quantum q-oscillators suggests an interpretation of the deformation as a way to introduce non linearity. Guided by this idea, we considered q-fields, the partition fumction, and compute a consequence on specific heat…
For all classical groups (and for their analogs in infinite dimension or over general base fields or rings) we construct certain contractions, called "homotopes". The construction is geometric, using as ingredient involutions of associative…
