Let (G,d) be a first order differential *-calculus on a *-algebra A. We say that a pair (\pi,F) of a *-representation \pi of A on a dense domain D of a Hilbert space and a symmetric operator F on D gives a commutator representation of G if…

Following earlier work with Cris Negron on the cohomology of Drinfeld doubles $D(\mathbb G_{(r)})$, we develop a "geometric theory" of support varieties for "extended Drinfeld doubles" $\tilde D(\mathbb G_{(r)})$ of Frobenius kernels…

Let L be a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra with a non-degenerate invariant bilinear form, \sigma an elliptic automorphism of L leaving the form invariant, and A a \sigma-invariant reductive subalgebra of L, such that the…

A family of infinite-dimensional irreducible $*$-representations on $\mathcal{H}\simeq L^2(\mathbb{R})\otimes\mathbb{C}^N$ is defined for a quantum-deformed Lorentz algebra $\mathscr{U}_{\bf q}(sl_2)\otimes \mathscr{U}_{\widetilde{\bf…

Properties of relative traces and symmetrizing forms on chains of cyclotomic and affine Hecke algebras are studied. The study relies on a use of bases of these algebras which generalize a normal form for elements of the complex reflection…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an arbitrary hereditary abelian category that may not have enough projective objects. For example, $\mathcal{A}$ can be the category of finite-dimensional representations of a quiver or the category of coherent sheaves…

Cases of Deligne's companion conjecture for normal schemes over finite fields have been proven by L. Lafforgue, Drinfeld, and Zheng in recent years: L. Lafforgue proved the conjecture for curves, Drinfeld proved the conjecture for all…

Trace formulas appear in many forms in noncommutative geometry (NCG). In the first part of this thesis, we obtain results for asymptotic expansions of trace formulas like heat trace expansions by adapting the theory of Multiple Operator…

This paper studies the role of dg-Lie algebroids in derived deformation theory. More precisely, we provide an equivalence between the homotopy theories of formal moduli problems and dg-Lie algebroids over a commutative dg-algebra of…

Let ${\mathfrak g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak b}$. Consider the semidirect product $I{\mathfrak b}={\mathfrak b}\ltimes{\mathfrak b}^*$, where the dual ${\mathfrak b}^*$ of ${\mathfrak b}$, is…

In this paper, we first study derivations in non nilpotent Lie triple algebras. We determine the structure of derivation algebra according to whether the algebra admits an idempotent or a pseudo-idempotent. We study the multiplicative…

Given a finite dimensional C-*-Hopf algebra H and its dual H^ we construct the infinite crossed product A=... x H x H^ x H x ... and study its representations. A is the observable algebra of a generalized spin model with H-order and…

The Wodzicki residue is the unique trace on the algebra of classical pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold, and Connes in 1988 proved that it coincides with the Dixmier trace. A Carnot manifold is a manifold $M$ whose tangent…

We use Chen's iterated integrals to integrate representations up to homotopy. That is, we construct an A_infty functor from the representations up to homotopy of a Lie algebroid to those of its infinity groupoid. This construction extends…

We define and study an analogue of the Baum-Connes assembly map for complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups. Our starting point is the deformation picture of the…

It is demonstrated that decompositions of integrable highest weight modules of a simple Lie algebra with respect to its reductive subalgebra obey the set of algebraic relations leading to the recursive properties for the corresponding…

We settle several questions about the theory of universal deformation quantization of Lie bialgebras by giving their complete classification up to homotopy equivalence. An important new technical ingredient introduced in this paper is an…

In this thesis Chern-Simons theories based on Lie algebras with invariant metric are constructed. It is discussed how contractions lead systematically to (higher spin) kinematical algebras of, e.g., Poincar\'e, Galilei and Carroll type and…

We give explicit constructions of some finite-dimensional representations of generalized double affine Hecke algebras (GDAHA) of higher rank using $R$-matrices for $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_N)$. Our construction is motivated by an analogous…

Let $\phi: A\to A$ be a (not necessarily linear, additive or continuous) map of a standard operator algebra. Suppose for any $a,b\in A$ there is an algebra automorphism $\theta_{a,b}$ of $ A$ such that \begin{align*} \phi(a)\phi(b) =…
