We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…

We define new noncommutative spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We investigate the quantum groups acting maximally on them, which yields new quantum versions of the orthogonal group: They are partially…

We provide detailed calculations for the classification of representations of compact simple Lie groups with non-empty boundary in the orbit space, first announced in a previous paper [arXiv:2112.00513] by the same authors.

Let G be a connected, simply connected, simple complex algebraic group and let e be a primitive l-th root of 1, with l odd and 3 does not divide l if G is of type G_{2}. We determine all Hopf algebra quotients of the quantized coordinate…

We exhibit normal subgroups of a free nilpotent group F of rank two and class three, which have isomorphic finite quotients but are not conjugate under any automorphism of F.

In this paper we classify all simple weight modules for a quantum group $U_q$ at a complex root of unity $q$ when the Lie algebra is not of type $G_2$. By a weight module we mean a finitely generated $U_q$-module which has finite…

We describe all Gaussian generating functionals on several easy quantum groups given by non-crossing partitions. This includes in particular the free unitary, orthogonal and symplectic quantum groups. We further characterize central…

We show that a differential algebraic group can be filtered by a finite subnormal series of differential algebraic groups such that successive quotients are almost simple, that is have no normal subgroups of the same type. We give a…

By finite quantum groups we mean Lusztig's finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras called quantum Frobenius Kernels [9, 10], and their natural generalizations due to Andruskiewitsch and Schneider [2, 3]. For a Hopf algebra $H$ in a special…

We give a simplified approach to the cubulation of small-cancellation quotients of free products of cubulated groups. We construct fundamental groups of compact nonpositively curved cube complexes that do not virtually split.

Let V(KG) be the normalized group of units of the group ring KG of a non-Dedekind group G with nontrivial torsion part t(G) over the integral domain K. We give a simple method for constructing free objects in V(KG).In particular, we show…

Let $G$ be one of the classical compact, simple, centre-less, connected Lie groups or rank $n$ with a maximal torus $T$, the Lie algebra $\clg$ and let $\{ E_i, F_i, H_i, i=1, \ldots, n \}$ be the standard set of generators corresponding to…

We prove that the quantum graph algebra and the quantum moduli algebra associated to a punctured sphere and complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ are Noetherian rings and finitely generated rings over $\mathbb{C}(q)$. Moreover, we…

We show that for F an invertible 2 by 2 matrix, the von Neumann algebra associated to the universal quantum group A_u(F) is a free Araki-Woods factor.

Compact quantum groups can be studied by investigating their co-representation categories in analogy to the Schur-Weyl/Tannaka-Krein approach. For the special class of (unitary) "easy" quantum groups these categories arise from a…

We study permutation groups of given minimal degree without the classical primitivity assumption. We provide sharp upper bounds on the order of a permutation group of minimal degree m and on the number of its elements of any given support.…

Let A be a basic connected finite dimensional algebra over a field k and let Q be the ordinary quiver of A. To any presentation of A with Q and admissible relations, R. Martinez-Villa and J. A. de La Pena have associated a group called the…

It is well known that a nontrivial commutator in a free group is never a proper power. We prove a theorem that generalizes this fact and has several worthwhile corollaries. For example, an equation $[ x_1, y_1] \ldots [ x_k, y_k] = z^n$,…

Woronowicz proved the existence of the Haar state for compact quantum groups under a separability assumption later removed by Van Daele in a new existence proof. A minor adaptation of Van Daele's proof yields an idempotent state in any…

Recent work has demonstrated the existence of universal Hamiltonians - simple spin lattice models that can simulate any other quantum many body system to any desired level of accuracy. Until now proofs of universality have relied on…
