We describe a topological ribbon Hopf algebra whose elements are sequences of matrices. The algebra is a quantum version of U(sl_2).
We start with the observation that the quantum group SL_q(2), described in terms of its algebra of functions has a quantum subgroup, which is just a usual Cartan group. Based on this observation we develop a general method of constructing…
Wirtinger presentations of deficiency 1 appear in the context of knots, long virtual knots, and ribbon 2-knots. They are encoded by (word) labeled oriented trees and, for that reason, are also called LOT presentations. These presentations…
We study the unitarity and modularity of ribbon tensor categories derived from simple affine Lie algebras, via their associated quantum groups. Based on numerical calculations, and assuming two conjectures, we provide the complete picture…
We describe a framework for estimating Hilbert-Samuel multiplicities $e_XY$ for pairs of projective varieties $X \subset Y$ from finite point samples rather than defining equations. The first step involves proving that this multiplicity…
We study symmetric Killing 2-tensors on Riemannian manifolds and show that several additional conditions can be realised only for Sasakian manifolds and Euclidean spheres. In particular we show that (three)-Sasakian manifolds can also be…
We relate the computational complexity of finite strings to universal representations of their underlying symmetries. First, Boolean functions are classified using the universal covering topologies of the circuits which enumerate them. A…
In part I we introduced the class ${\mathcal E}_2$ of Lie subgroups of $Sp(2,\R)$ and obtained a classification up to conjugation (Theorem 1.1). Here, we determine for which of these groups the restriction of the metaplectic representation…
We give a general description of the spectral space of conjugacy classes of subgroups of Sp(2): it is a disjoint union of finitely many blocks, each dominated by a subgroup: of these blocks, 26 are of dimension 1, 6 are of dimension 2 and…
We define and study sl\_2-categorifications on abelian categories. We show in particular that there is a self-derived (even homotopy) equivalence categorifying the adjoint action of the simple reflection. We construct categorifications for…
In this paper we study the homotopy theory of parameterized spectrum objects in the $\infty$-category of $(\infty, 2)$-categories, as well as the Quillen cohomology of an $(\infty, 2)$-category with coefficients in such a parameterized…
In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a…
Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field. In this article, inspired by the description of indecomposable objects in the derived category of a gentle algebra obtained by V. Bekkert and H. A. Merklen, we define string complexes for a…
Hilbert bimodules are morphisms between C*-algebraic models of quantum systems, while symplectic dual pairs are morphisms between Poisson geometric models of classical systems. Both of these morphisms preserve representation-theoretic…
We construct 2-functors from a 2-category categorifying quantum sl(n) to 2-categories categorifying the irreducible representation of highest weight $ 2 \omega_k. $
It is found that the 2-index potential in nonabelian theories does not behave geometrically as a connection but that, considered as an element of the second de Rham cohomology group twisted by a flat connection, it fits well with all the…
We study a sequence of connections which is associated with a Riemannian metric and an almost symplectic structure on a manifold. We prove that if this sequence is trivial (i.e. constant) or 2-periodic, then the manifold has a canonical…
The quantum group structure of the Liouville theory is reviewd and shown to be an important tool for solving the theory.
We construct a series of finite-dimensional quantum groups as braided Drinfeld doubles of Nichols algebras of type Super A, for an even root of unity, and classify ribbon structures for these quantum groups. Ribbon structures exist if and…
The well-known Schmidt decomposition, or equivalently, the complex singular value decomposition, states that a pure quantum state of a bipartite system can always be brought into a "diagonal" form using local unitary transformations. In…
