This tutorial is intended to give an accessible introduction to Hopf algebras. The mathematical context is that of representation theory, and we also illustrate the structures with examples taken from combinatorics and quantum physics,…
We give a survey of the theory of finite quantum groupoids (weak Hopf algebras), including foundations of the theory and applications to finite depth subfactors, dynamical deformations of quantum groups, and invariants of knots and…
We study the spectrum of the cohomology rings of cocommutative Hopf superalgebras, restricted and non-restricted Lie superalgebras, and finite supergroup schemes. We also investigate support varieties in these settings and demonstrate that…
Nonlinear $sl(2)$ algebras subtending generalized angular momentum theories are studied in terms of undeformed generators and bases. We construct their unitary irreducible representations in such a general context. The linear $sl(2)$-case…
For a commutative algebra the shuffle product is a morphism of complexes. We generalize this result to the quantum shuffle product, associated to a class of non-commutative algebras (for example all the Hopf algebras). As a first…
A condition is identified which guarantees that the coinvariants of a coaction of a Hopf algebra on an algebra form a subalgebra, even though the coaction may fail to be an algebra homomorphism. A Hilbert Theorem (finite generation of the…
We classify the cosemisimple Hopf algebras whose corepresentation semi-ring is isomorphic to that of GL(2). This leads us to define a new family of Hopf algebras which generalize the quantum similitude group of a non-degenerate bilinear…
We develop a combinatorial approach to the quantum permutation algebras, as Hopf images of representations of type $\pi:A_s(n)\to B(H)$. We discuss several general problems, including the commutativity and cocommutativity ones, the…
We investigate several Hopf algebras of diagrams related to Quantum Field Theory of Partitions and whose product comes from the Hopf algebras WSym or WQSym respectively built on integer set partitions and set compositions. Bases of these…
We study the representation theory of the fundamental group of the complement of a Hopf link with n twists. A general framework is described to analyze the $SL_r(C)$-representation varieties of these twisted Hopf links as byproduct of a…
The notion of a Hopf module over a Hopf (co)quasigroup is introduced and a version of the fundamental theorem for Hopf (co)quasigroups is proven.
This is an innovative treatise on triangles, resting upon 1) 3-body problem techniques including mass-weighted relative Jacobi coordinates. 2) Part I's detailed layer-by-layer topological and geometrical study of Kendall-type shape spaces -…
In the recent years, Hopf algebras have been introduced to describe certain combinatorial properties of quantum field theories. I will give a basic introduction to these algebras and review some occurrences in particle physics.
In this paper we develop a theory for constructing an invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds, given a certain type of Hopf algebra. Examples are given by a quantised enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra, or by a semisimple…
We study otopy classes of equivariant local maps and prove the Hopf type theorem for such maps in the case of a real finite dimensional orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group.
We introduce the notion of partial representation of a weak Hopf algebra. We present the universal algebra $H_{par}^w$, which factorizes these partial representations by algebra morphisms. Also, it is shown that $\Hp$ is isomorphic to a…
We reformulate the method recently proposed for constructing quasitriangular Hopf algebras of the quantum-double type from the R-matrices obeying the Yang-Baxter equations. Underlying algebraic structures of the method are elucidated and an…
For any module $M$ over small quantum group one defines the support variety using construction from the theory of restricted Lie algebras. It is a closed conical subset of nilpotent cone of the corresponding Lie algebra. If module $M$ is a…
In this work we study some properties of comldules over (non-cosemisimple) Hopf algebras possessing integrals, which are also called co-Frobenius Hopf algebras. We apply the result obtained to the classification of representations of…
Let $G$ be a simply-connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, assumed to be larger than the Coxeter number. The "support variety" of a $G$-module $M$ is a certain closed subvariety of the…
