The character ring \CGL of covariant irreducible tensor representations of the general linear group admits a Hopf algebra structure isomorphic to the Hopf algebra \Sym$ of symmetric functions. Here we study the character rings \CO and \CSp…
Schur functions provide an integral basis of the ring of symmetric functions. It is shown that this ring has a natural Hopf algebra structure by identifying the appropriate product, coproduct, unit, counit and antipode, and their…
Character groups of Hopf algebras appear in a variety of mathematical contexts such as non-commutative geometry, renormalisation of quantum field theory, numerical analysis and the theory of regularity structures for stochastic partial…
In this article character groups of Hopf algebras are studied from the perspective of infinite-dimensional Lie theory. For a graded and connected Hopf algebra we construct an infinite-dimensional Lie group structure on the character group…
We identify two seemingly disparate structures: supercharacters, a useful way of doing Fourier analysis on the group of unipotent uppertriangular matrices with coefficients in a finite field, and the ring of symmetric functions in…
We generalise gauge theory on a graph so that the gauge group becomes a finite-dimensional ribbon Hopf algebra, the graph becomes a ribbon graph, and gauge-theoretic concepts such as connections, gauge transformations and observables are…
We describe a Hopf algebraic approach to the Grothendieck ring of representations of subgroups $H_\pi$ of the general linear group GL(n) which stabilize a tensor of Young symmetry $\{\pi\}$. It turns out that the representation ring of the…
We propose a new non-commutative generalization of the representation variety and the character variety of a knot group. Our strategy is to reformulate the construction of the algebra of functions on the space of representations in terms of…
Actions of semisimple Hopf algebras H over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero on commutative domains were classified recently by the authors. The answer turns out to be very simple- if the action is inner faithful, then H…
The supercharacter theory of algebra groups gave us a representation theoretic realization of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. The underlying representation theoretic framework comes equipped with two…
We show that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with an abelian group of group-like elements is finitely generated. Our strategy has three major steps. We first reduce the problem to the finite…
We show for bicommutative graded connected Hopf algebras that a certain distributive (Laplace) subgroup of the convolution monoid of 2-cochains parameterizes certain well behaved Hopf algebra deformations. Using the Laplace group, or its…
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…
The Hopf-Galois structures on normal extensions $K/k$ with $G=Gal(K/k)$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of regular subgroups $N\leq B=Perm(G)$ that are normalized by the left regular representation $\lambda(G)\leq B$. Each…
The $q$--deformation $U_q (h_4)$ of the harmonic oscillator algebra is defined and proved to be a Ribbon Hopf algebra.Associated with this Hopf algebra we define an infinite dimensional braid group representation on the Hilbert space of the…
Lyubashenko's construction associates representations of mapping class groups Map_{g,n} of Riemann surfaces of any genus g with any number n of holes to a factorizable ribbon category. We consider this construction as applied to the…
Let $ L/K $ be a finite separable extension of fields whose Galois closure $ E/K $ has group $ G $. Greither and Pareigis have used Galois descent to show that a Hopf algebra giving a Hopf-Galois structure on $ L/K $ has the form $ E[N]^{G}…
Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $0.$ We define Hopf algebraic analogues of commutators and their generalizations and show how they are related to $H',$ the Hopf algebraic…
We study a family of complex representations of the group GL(n,O), where O is the ring of integers of a non-archimedean local field F. These representations occur in the restriction of the Grassmann representation of GL(n,F) to its maximal…
We derive group branching laws for formal characters of subgroups $H_\pi$ of GL(n) leaving invariant an arbitrary tensor $T^\pi$ of Young symmetry type $\pi$ where $\pi$ is an integer partition. The branchings $GL(n)\downarrow GL(n-1)$,…
