We introduce a large class of bicovariant differential calculi on any quantum group $A$, associated to $Ad$-invariant elements. For example, the deformed trace element on $SL_q(2)$ recovers Woronowicz' $4D_\pm$ calculus. More generally, we…
Diagram algebras (e.g. graded braid groups, Hecke algebras, Brauer algebras) arise as tensor power centralizer algebras, algebras of commuting operators for a Lie algebra action on a tensor space. This work explores centralizers of the…
We compute the Hochschild homology of the differential graded category of perfect curved modules over suitable curved rings, giving what might be termed "de Rham models" for such. This represents a generalization of previous results by…
We review some facts about the representation theory of the Hecke algebra. We adapt for the Hecke algebra case the approach of Okounkov and Vershik which was developed for the representation theory of symmetric groups. We justify an…
We invent a new cohomology theory for Lie triple algebras. Using this cohomology, we introduce the notions of 2-term $L_\infty$-triple algebras and Lie triple 2-algebras. We prove that the category of 2-term $L_\infty$-triple algebras is…
We define the notion of a trace kernel on a manifold M. Roughly speaking, it is a sheaf on M x M for which the formalism of Hochschild homology applies. We associate a microlocal Euler class to such a kernel, a cohomology class with values…
The generic Hecke algebra for the hyperoctahedral group, i.e. the Weyl group of type B, contains the generic Hecke algebra for the symmetric group, i.e. the Weyl group of type A, as a subalgebra. Inducing the index representation of the…
We introduce a new version $kk^{\rm alg}$ of bivariant $K$-theory that is defined on the category of all locally convex algebras. A motivating example is the Weyl algebra $W$, i.e. the algebra generated by two elements satisfying the…
We examine the Hochschild cohomology governing graded deformations for finite cyclic groups acting on polynomial rings. We classify the infinitesimal graded deformations of the skew group algebra $S\rtimes G$ for a cyclic group $G$ acting…
A Koszul duality-type correspondence between coderived categories of conilpotent differential graded Lie coalgebras and their Chevalley-Eilenberg differential graded algebras is established. This gives an interpretation of Lie coalgebra…
We refine the infinitesimal Hecke algebra associated to a 2-reflection group into a $\Z/2\Z$-graded Lie algebra, as a first step towards a global understanding of a natural $\mathbbm{N}$-graded object. We provide an interpretation of this…
In this paper we categorify the q-Schur algebra S(n,d) as a quotient of Khovanov and Lauda's diagrammatic 2-category U(sln). We also show that our 2-category contains Soergel's monoidal category of bimodules of type A, which categorifies…
We compute the center and Azumaya locus in the simplest non-abelian examples of quantized multiplicative quiver varieties at a root of unity: quantum Weyl algebras of rank $N$, and quantum differential operators on the quantum group…
The theory of generalized Weyl algebras is used to study the $2\times 2$ reflection equation algebra $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{A}_q(\operatorname{M}_2)$ in the case that $q$ is not a root of unity, where the $R$-matrix used to define…
The quantum Satake correspondence relates dihedral Soergel bimodules to the semisimple quotient of the quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ representation category. It also establishes a precise relation between the simple transitive…
Let $k$ be a field of odd prime characteristic $p$. We calculate the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology of a class of quantum complete intersections over $k$. As a consequence, we prove that if $B$ is a defect…
We show that every Weyl module for a current algebra has a filtration whose successive quotients are isomorphic to Demazure modules, and that the path model for a tensor product of level zero fundamental representations is isomorphic to a…
Let K be a local non-archimedian field, F=K((t)) and let G be a split semi-simple group. The purpose of this paper is to study certain analogs of spherical (and Iwahori) Hecke algebras for representations of the group G(F) and its central…
We define and calculate inner products of 2-representations. Along the way, we prove that the categorical trace Tr(-) of [Ganter and Kapranov, Representation and character theory in 2-categories, Sec. 3] is multiplicative with respect to…
In one of our recent papers, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were defined and studied, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic,…
