We first motivate the study of a certain quotient of the loop braid category, both for the mathematics underpinning recent approaches to topological quantum computation; and as a key example in non-semisimple higher representation theory.…
Bialgebras and Hopf (bi)modules are typical algebraic structures with several interacting operations. Their structural and homological study is therefore quite involved. We develop the machinery of braided systems, tailored for handling…
We consider subgroups of the braid groups which are generated by $k$-th powers of the standard generators and prove that any infinite intersection (with even $k$) is trivial. This is motivated by some conjectures of Squier concerning the…
Kuniba, Okado, Takagi and Yamada have found that the time-evolution of the Takahashi-Satsuma box-ball system can be linearized by considering rigged configurations associated with states of the box-ball system. We introduce a simple way to…
We briefly discuss linear algebraic, combinatorial, and applied aspects of an exact model representation of binary arrays. As an illustration, we present two linear algebraic portraits of a string of characters.
In this note we study a family of algebras with one parameter defined by generators and relations. The set of generators contains the generators of the usual braids algebra, and another set of generators which is interpreted as ties between…
We define and study an action of the symmetric group on the Yokonuma--Hecke algebra. This leads to the definition of two classes of algebras. The first one is connected with the image of the algebra of the braid group inside the…
We establish branching rules between some Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type B and their subalgebras which are defined as fixed subalgebras by involutions including Goldman involution. The Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type D is one of such fixed…
We define a class of monoidal categories whose morphisms are diagrams, and which are enhancements and generalisations of the Brauer category obtained by adjoining infinitesimal braids, "coupons" and poles. Properties of these categories are…
We give an elementary proof of isomorphism of the blob (diagram) algebra and the corresponding extended Temperley-Lieb algebra (defined by presentation).
We begin by defining Temperley-Lieb algebra, in two different ways: as a presented algebra or as a diagrammatic algebra. Next, we look for a basis algorithmically, using rewriting theory. Finally, we introduce a generalization of the…
We use categorical method and birational geometry to study moduli spaces of quiver representations. From certain "representable" functor, we construct a birational transformation from the moduli space of representations of one quiver to…
These are lecture notes from a course I gave at the University of Wisconsin during the Spring semester of 1993. Part 1 is concerned with Borel hierarchies. Section 13 contains an unpublished theorem of Fremlin concerning Borel hierarchies…
We consider an orbit category of the bounded derived category of a path algebra of type A_n which can be viewed as a -(m+1)-cluster category, for m >= 1. In particular, we give a characterisation of those maximal m-rigid objects whose…
We show how the treatment of cellularity in families of algebras arising from diagram calculi, such as Jones' Temperley--Lieb wreaths, variants on Brauer's centralizer algebras, and the contour algebras of Cox et al (of which many algebras…
A very popular problem on braid groups has recently been solved by Bigelow and Krammer, namely, they have found a faithful linear representation for the braid group B_n. In their papers, Bigelow and Krammer suggested that their…
A tournament is an orientation of a graph. Each edge represents a match, directed towards the winner. The score sequence lists the number of wins by each team. Landau (1953) characterized score sequences of the complete graph. Moon (1963)…
We determine the image of the braid groups inside the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A, when defined over a finite field, in the semisimple case, and for suitably large (but controlable) order of the defining (quantum) parameter.
A simple relation is developed between elastic collisions of freely-moving point particles in one dimension and a corresponding billiard system. For two particles with masses m_1 and m_2 on the half-line x>0 that approach an elastic barrier…
Classical diagram categories and monoids, including the Temperley--Lieb, Brauer, and partition cases, arise as special instances of the category of two dimensional cobordisms and admit additional twists that produce a large new family of…
