We define the notion of braided Coxeter category, which is informally a tensor category carrying compatible, commuting actions of a generalised braid group B_W and Artin's braid groups B_n on the tensor powers of its objects. The data which…

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra, and U_h(g) the corresponding quantum group. We showed in arXiv:1610.09744 and arXiv:1610.09741 that the braided quasi-Coxeter structure on integrable, category O representations of U_h(g) which…

The author, and independently De Concini, conjectured that the monodromy of the Casimir connection of a simple Lie algebra g is described by the quantum Weyl group operators of the quantum group U_h(g). The aim of this paper, and of its…

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra and U_h(g) its quantised enveloping algebra. Answering a question of P. Etingof, we prove that the quantum Weyl group operators of U_h(g) give rise to a canonical action of the pure braid group of…

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. We prove the existence of a quasi-Coxeter, quasitriangular quasibialgebra structure on the enveloping algebra of g, which binds the quasi-Coxeter structure underlying the Casimir connection of g…

Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

Let $\hat{\frak g}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. The quantum group $U_h(\hat{\frak g})$ (over $\mathbb{C}[[h]]$) is known to be a quasitriangular Hopf algebra: in particular, it has a universal $ R $--matrix, which yields an $…

Doplicher and Roberts originally posed the problem of extending their duality theory for compact groups and field reconstruction to theories admitting braided symmetry. In this paper, we address this problem for the Wess-Zumino-Witten model…

We classify braided tensor categories over C of exponential growth which are quasisymmetric, i.e., the squared braiding is the identity on the product of any two simple objects. This generalizes the classification results of Deligne on…

Given a non-semisimple braided tensor category, with oplax tensor functors from known braided tensor categories, we ask : How does this knowledge characterize the tensor product and the braiding? We develop tools that address this question.…

We prove that if U_h(g) is a quasitriangular QUE algebra with universal R-matrix R, and O_h(G^*) is the quantized function algebra sitting inside U_h(g), then h log(R) belongs to the tensor square O_h(G^*) otimes O_h(G^*). This gives…

We prove the Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence for a class of vertex operator superalgebras which, via the work of Costello-Gaiotto, arise as boundary VOAs of topological B twist of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ abelian gauge theories. This means that we…

De Concini, Kac, and Procesi defined a family of subalgebras Uq[w] of the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(g) associated to elements w in the Weyl group of a simple Lie algebra g. These algebras are called quantum Schubert cell algebras. We…

We use representations of braid groups of Coxeter types BC and D to produce invariants of representation categories of quasitriangular coideal subalgebras. Such categories form a prevalent class of braided module categories. This is…

This paper is a continuation of the series of papers "Quantization of Lie bialgebras (QLB) I-V". We show that the image of a Kac-Moody Lie bialgebra with the standard quasitriangular structure under the quantization functor defined in…
