In this paper, we make the case that Clifford algebra is the natural framework for root systems and reflection groups, as well as related groups such as the conformal and modular groups: The metric that exists on these spaces can always be…

For a cellular algebra $\A$ with a cellular basis $\ZC$, we consider a decomposition of the unit element $1_\A$ into orthogonal idempotents (not necessary primitive) satisfying some conditions. By using this decomposition, the cellular…

We introduce tabular algebras, which are simultaneous generalizations of cellular algebras (in the sense of Graham-Lehrer) and table algebras (in the sense of Arad-Blau). We show that if a tabular algebra is equipped with a certain kind of…

A supersymmetric extension of the Hahn algebra is introduced. This quadratic superalgebra, which we call the Hahn superalgebra, is constructed using the realization provided by the Dunkl oscillator model in the plane, whose Hamiltonian…

Growing out of the initial connections between subfactors and knot theory that gave rise to the Jones polynomial, Jones' axiomatization of the standard invariant of an extremal finite index $II_1$ subfactor as a spherical $C^*$-planar…

Motivated by the beautiful work of M. A. Rieffel (1965) and of M. E. Walter (1974), we obtain characterisations of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ in terms of the class of $F$-algebras (i.e. a Banach algebra $A$…

In this paper we extend the idea of integration to generic algebras. In particular we concentrate over a class of algebras, that we will call self-conjugated, having the property of possessing equivalent right and left multiplication…

We demonstrate that topological defects in a rational conformal field theory can be described by a classifying algebra for defects - a finite-dimensional semisimple unital commutative associative algebra whose irreducible representations…

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…

Parafermionic conformal field theories are considered on a purely algebraic basis. The generalized Jacobi type identity is presented. Systems of free fermions coupled to each other by nontrivial parafermionic type relations are studied in…

Terwilliger algebras are a subalgebra of a matrix algebra constructed from an association scheme. In 2010, Tanaka defined what it means for a Terwilliger algebra to be almost commutative and gave five equivalent conditions for a Terwilliger…

We give a combinatorial description of the ``$D_{2n}$ planar algebra,'' by generators and relations. We explain how the generator interacts with the Temperley-Lieb braiding. This shows the previously known braiding on the even part extends…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter $D \ge 3$. Assume $\Gamma$ has classical parameters $(D,b,\alpha,\beta)$ with $b < -1$. Let $X$ denote the vertex set of $\Gamma$ and let $A \in MX$ denote the adjacency matrix of…

A real seminormed involutive algebra is a real associative algebra ${\mathcal A}$ endowed with an involutive antiautomorphism $*$ and a submultiplicative seminorm $p$ with $p(a^*) =p(a)$ for $a\in {\mathcal A}$. Then ${\mathop{\tt…

We define a family of structures called "opetopic algebras", which are algebraic structures with an underlying opetopic set. Examples of such are categories, planar operads, and Loday's combinads over planar trees. Opetopic algebras can be…

We construct new non-diagonal solutions to the boundary Yang-Baxter-Equation corresponding to a two-dimensional field theory with U_q(a_2^(1)) quantum affine symmetry on a half-line. The requirements of boundary unitarity and boundary…

We study positive bilinear forms on a Hilbert space which are neither not necessarily bounded nor induced by some positive operator. We show when different families of bilinear forms can be described as a generalized effect algebra. In…

Having in mind the significance of parity (reflection) in various areas of physics, the single-mode and two-mode Wigner algebras are considered adding to them a reflection operator. The associated deformed $sl(2, R)$ algebra,…

The Ohno-Nakagawa (O-N) reflection theorem is an unexpectedly simple identity relating the number of $\mathrm{GL}_2 \mathbb{Z}$-classes of binary cubic forms (equivalently, cubic rings) of two different discriminants $D$, $-27D$; it…

Paragrassmann algebras are given a sesquilinear form for which one subalgebra becomes a Hilbert space known as the Segal-Bargmann space. This Hilbert space as well as the ambient space of the paragrassmann algebra itself are shown to have…
