The observed pattern of fermion masses and mixing is an outstanding puzzle in particle physics, generally known as the flavor problem. Over the years, guided by precision neutrino oscillation data, discrete flavor symmetries have often been…
A non-abelian generalisation of a birational representation of affine Weyl groups and their application to the discrete dynamical systems is presented. By using this generalisation, non-commutative analogs for the discrete systems of…
We analyse the fusion, braiding and scattering properties of discrete non-abelian anyons. These occur in (2+1)-dimensional theories where a gauge group G is spontaneously broken down to some discrete subgroup H. We identify the…
Non-Abelian discrete family symmetries play a pivotal role in the formulation of models with tri-bimaximal lepton mixing. We discuss how to obtain symmetries such as A4, semidirect product of Z7 and Z3, and Delta(27) from an underlying…
I propose that non-Abelian topological order can emerge from the organization of quantum particles into identical indistinguishable copies of the same quantum many-body state. Quantum indistinguishability (symmetrization) of the…
We study the non-abelian tensor square $G\otimes G$ for the class of groups G that are finitely generated modulo their derived subgroup. In particular, we find conditions on G/G' so that $G\otimes G$ is isomorphic to the direct product of…
The role of discrete (or point-group) symmetries in alpha-cluster nuclei is discussed in the framework of the algebraic cluster model which describes the relative motion of the alpha-particles. Particular attention is paid to the discrete…
There is a long-standing problem of algebra to extend the symmetric monoidal structure of abelian groups, given by the tensor product, to a non abelian setting. In this paper we show that such an extension is possible. Morover our non…
Symmetry lies at the heart of todays theoretical study of particle physics. Our manuscript is a tutorial introducing foundational mathematics for understanding physical symmetries. We start from basic group theory and representation theory.…
Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a self-contained introduction to the necessary mathematical…
We clarify selection rules of conjugacy classes of several finite discrete groups where we deal with both gauged and ungauged cases. We find that the selection rules enjoy finite Abelian or non-Abelian discrete symmetries originating from…
In recent work, we developed a method to construct invertible and non-invertible symmetries of finite-group gauge theories as topological domain walls on the lattice. In the present work, we consider abelian and non-abelian finite-group…
These summer school lectures cover the use of algebraic techniques in various subfields of nuclear physics. After a brief description of groups and algebras, concepts of dynamical symmetry, dynamical supersymmetry, and supersymmetric…
Higher form symmetry, one of the generalized symmetries, primarily involves the action of abelian groups. This is, due to the topological nature of symmetry defect operators. In this study, we extend the vector space (or vector bundle) in…
Spatial noncommutativity is similar and can even be related to the non-Abelian nature of multiple D-branes. But they have so far seemed independent of each other. Reflecting this decoupling, the algebra of matrix valued fields on…
This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…
The investigation of the role of finite groups in flavor physics and particularly, in the interpretation of the neutrino data has been the subject of intensive research. Motivated by this fact, in this work we derive the three-dimensional…
In this article, we study the derivations of group algebras of some important groups, namely, dihedral ($D_{2n}$), Dicyclic ($T_{4n}$) and Semi-dihedral ($SD_{8n}$). First, we explicitly classify all inner derivations of a group algebra…
Strongly regular graphs (SRGs) provide a fertile area of exploration in algebraic combinatorics, integrating techniques in graph theory, linear algebra, group theory, finite fields, finite geometry, and number theory. Of particular interest…
We examine the reducibility of induced from discrete series representations of $SU_n$ over a $p$--adic field of characteristic zero. Some results are given for groups sharing derived group. We give a relationship between the $R$-groups for…
