We categorify a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_{2r+1}$ by introducing a $2$-category \`a la Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier, and show that self-dual indecomposable $1$-morphisms categorify the canonical basis of this…

The role of quantum groups and braid groups in the description of Standard Model particles is discussed. Some recent results on the use of the quantum group $SU_q(3)$ as a flavour symmetry are reviewed and a connection between two…

Representations of Quantum Groups U_q (g_n), g_n any semi simple Lie algebra of rank n, are constructed from arbitrary representations of rank n-1 quantum groups for q a root of unity. Representations which have the maximal dimension and…

The main notions of the quantum groups: coproduct, action and coaction, representation and corepresentation are discussed using simplest examples: $GL_q(2)$, $sl_q(2)$, $q$-oscillator algebra ${\cal A}(q)$, and reflection equation algebra.…

This paper consists of three parts: (I) To develop general theory of a (large) class of central simple finite dimensional algebras and answering some natural questions about them (that in general situation it is not even clear how to…

We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…

In a recent article, the coordinate ring of the nodal cubic was given the structure of a quantum homogeneous space. Here the corresponding coalgebra Galois extension is expressed in terms of quantum groups at roots of unity, and is shown to…

A method to construct in explicit form the generators of the simple roots of an arbitrary finite-dimensional representation of a quantum or standard semisimple algebra is found. The method is based on general results from the global theory…

We consider quantum group representations for a semisimple algebraic group G at a complex root of unity q. Here q is allowed to be of any order. We revisit some fundamental results of Parshall-Wang and Andersen-Polo-Wen from the 90's. In…

We build extensions of the arc rings, relate their centers to the cohomology rings of the Springer varieties, and categorify all level two representations of quantum sl(N).

We define a bicomplex whose Euler characteristic is the idempotented version of the ribbon element of quantum sl(2). We show that properties of this bicomplex descend to the centrality, invertibility and symmetries of the ribbon element…

To each graph without loops and multiple edges we assign a family of rings. Categories of projective modules over these rings categorify $U^-_q(\mathfrak{g})$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated with the graph.

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

The q-field theories are constructed by substituting quantum groups for the usual Lie groups. In earlier papers this construction was carried out for the quantum group SU_q(2). Here the investigation is extended to SL_q(3). The resulting…

We equip the categorified quantum group attached to a KLR algebra and an arbitrary choice of scalars with duality functor which is cyclic, that is, such that f=f^** for all 2-morphisms f. This is accomplished via a modified diagrammatic…

A new approach to classification of solvable spherical subgroups of semisimple algebraic groups is considered. This approach is completely different from the known approach by D. Luna and provides an explicit classification.

The group gradings on the symmetric composition algebras over arbitrary fields are classified. Applications of this result to gradings on the exceptional simple Lie algebras are considered too.

For any semifield K we define a K-form of a partial flag manifold of a semisimple group G of simply laced type over the complex numbers. The definition is in terms of the theory of canonical bases.

This is the first one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple linear groups.

We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…
