It is known that the topological T-duality exchanges $H$ and $F$-fluxes. In this paper, we reformulate the topological T-duality as an exchange of two Lie algebroids in the generalized tangent bundle. Then, we apply the same formulation to…

In the paper Algebraic quantum groups and duality I, we consider a pairing $(a,b)\mapsto\langle a,b\rangle$ of regular multiplier Hopf algebras $A$ and $B$. When $A$ has integrals and when $B$ is the dual of $A$, we can describe the duality…

Let $U_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$ denote the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group associated to a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We apply a modification of the $R$-matrix construction for quantum groups to the evaluation of the universal…

The Heisenberg double $D_q(E_2)$ of the quantum Euclidean group $\mathcal{O}_q(E_2)$ is the smash product of $\mathcal{O}_q(E_2)$ with its Hopf dual $U_q(\mathfrak{e}_2)$. For the algebra $D_q(E_2)$, explicit descriptions of its prime,…

Let $\Sigma$ be a finite type surface, and $G$ a complex algebraic simple Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The quantum moduli algebra of $(\Sigma,G)$ is a quantization of the ring of functions of $X_G(\Sigma)$, the variety of…

Let ${U}_q(sl_2)$ be the quantized enveloping algebra associated to the simple Lie algebra $sl_2$. In this paper, we study the quantum double $D_q$ of the Borel subalgebra ${U}_q((sl_2)^{\leq 0})$ of ${U}_q(sl_2)$. We construct an analogue…

Let us consider a Lie (super)algebra $G$ spanned by $T_{\alpha}$ where $T_{\alpha}$ are quantum observables in BV-formalism. It is proved that for every tensor $c^{\alpha_1...\alpha_k}$ that determines a homology class of the Lie algebra…

In this paper we take some classical ideas from commutative algebra, mostly ideas involving duality, and apply them in algebraic topology. To accomplish this we interpret properties of ordinary commutative rings in such a way that they can…

We give a $q$-analogue of Howe duality associated to a pair $(\mf{g},G)$, where $\mf{g}$ is an orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra and $G=O_\ell, Sp_{2\ell}$. We define explicitly {commuting actions} of a quantized enveloping algebra of…

We construct dual Lagrangians for $G/H$ models in two space-time dimensions for arbitrary Lie groups $G$ and $H\subset G$. Our approach does not require choosing coordinates on $G/H$, and allows for a natural generalization to Lie-Poisson…

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…

A new formal scheme is presented in which Einstein's classical theory of General Relativity appears as the common, invariant sector of a one-parameter family of different theories. This is achieved by replacing the Poincare` group of the…

We begin with proving a formula relating the Hilbert series of a graded algebra $A$ and the Poincar\'{e} series for $A$ in two variables. This gives the Fr\"oberg formula in the case where the bigraded $Tor^A(k,k)$ is concentrated on the…

The nonabelian two-dimensional Lie algebra over a field $\mathbb{F}$ has a presentation by generators $A$, $B$ and relation $\left[ A,B\right]=A$, with the universal enveloping algebra having a presentation by generators $A$, $B$ and…

In this paper, we study the classical and quantum equivariant cohomology of Nakajima quiver varieties for a general quiver Q. Using a geometric R-matrix formalism, we construct a Hopf algebra Y_Q, the Yangian of Q, acting on the cohomology…

We showed in part I (hep-th/9912092) that the Hopf algebra ${\cal H}$ of Feynman graphs in a given QFT is the algebra of coordinates on a complex infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ and that the renormalized theory is obtained from the…

Let $\alpha$ be a polynomial Poisson bivector on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over $\mathbb{C}$. Then Kontsevich [K97] gives a formula for a quantization $f\star g$ of the algebra $S(V)^*$. We give a construction of an algebra with…

We introduce a Lie bialgebra structure on the central extension of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the line and the circle (with scalar or matrix coefficients). This defines a Poisson--Lie structure on the dual group of…

We observe a general structure theorem for quantum cohomology rings, a non-homogeneous version of the usual cohomology ring encoding information about (almost holomorphic) rational curves. An application is the rigorous computation of the…

Given a finite category T, we consider the functor category [T,A], where A can in particular be any quasi-abelian category. Examples of quasi-abelian categories are given by any abelian category but also by non-exact additive categories as…
