We generalise the quantum double construction of Drinfel'd to the case of the (Hopf) algebra of suitable functions on a compact or locally compact group. We will concentrate on the *-algebra structure of the quantum double. If the conjugacy…
A large family of "standard" coboundary Hopf algebras is investigated. The existence of a universal R-matrix is demonstrated for the case when the parameters are in general position. Special values of the parameters are characterized by the…
We study generalized electric/magnetic duality in Abelian gauge theory by combining techniques from locally covariant quantum field theory and Cheeger-Simons differential cohomology on the category of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian…
We investigate the algebro-geometric structure of a novel two-parameter quantum deformation which exhibits the nature of a semidirect or cross-product algebra built upon GL(2) x GL(1), and is related to several other known examples of…
The concept of positively and negatively compatible null vectors arises in the study of Clifford geometric algebras with a Lorentz-Minkowski metric. In previous works, the basic properties of such algebras have been set down in terms of a…
A notion of Drinfeld polynomials is introduced for modules of two-parameter quantum affine algebras. Finite dimensional representations are then characterized by sets of $l$-tuples of pairs of Drinfeld polynomials with certain conditions.
By means of the notions of cross product algebras of the theory of quantum groups, in the context of classical Hopf algebra structures, we deduce some known structures of Weyl algebras type (as the Drinfeld quantum double, the restricted…
Quantum and q-deformed algebras find their application not only in mathematical physics and field theoretical context, but also in phenomenology of particle properties. We describe (i) the use of quantum algebras U_q(su_n) corresponding to…
The duality principle for group representations developed in \cite{DHL-JFA, HL_BLM} exhibits a fact that the well-known duality principle in Gabor analysis is not an isolated incident but a more general phenomenon residing in the context of…
The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…
We define an abstract notion of double Lie algebroid, which includes as particular cases: (1) the double Lie algebroid of a double Lie groupoid in the sense of the author, such as the iterated tangent bundle of an ordinary manifold, and…
We develop a theory of two-parameter quantum polynomial functors. Similar to how (strict) polynomial functors give a new interpretation of polynomial representations of the general linear groups $\operatorname{GL}_n$, the two-parameter…
We show that complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups, satisfy a categorical version of the Baum-Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients. This approach, based on…
Let A be a finite dimensional Hopf algebra and (H, R) a quasitriangular bialgebra. Denote by H^*_R a certain deformation of the multiplication of H^* via R. We prove that H^*_R is a quantum commutative left H\otimes H^{op cop}-module…
A quantum field theory with a finite abelian symmetry $G$ may be equipped with a non-invertible duality defect associated with gauging $G$. For certain $G$, duality defects admit an alternative construction where one starts with invertible…
We study generalised differential structures $\Omega^1,d$ on an algebra $A$, where $A\tens A\to \Omega^1$ given by $a\tens b\to a d b$ need not be surjective. The finite set case corresponds to quivers with embedded digraphs, the Hopf…
In this paper we provide a quantization via formality of Poisson actions of a triangular Lie algebra $(\mathfrak g,r)$ on a smooth manifold $M$. Using the formality of polydifferential operators on Lie algebroids we obtain a deformation…
After a brief survey of the basic definitions of the Grothendieck--Verdier categories and dualities, I consider in this context introduced earlier dualities in the categories of quadratic algebras and operads, largely motivated by the…
In 2008, the author proposed a version of duality theory for (not necessarily, Abelian) complex Lie groups, based on the idea of using the Arens-Michael envelope of topological algebra and having an advantage over existing theories in that…
This text is meant to be a brief overview of the topics announced in the title and is based on my talk in Vienna (August/September 2007). It does not contain new results (except probably for a remark concerning Q-manifold homology, which I…
