Categories of partitions are combinatorial structures arising from the representation theory of certain compact quantum groups and are linked to classical diagram algebras such as the Temperley-Lieb algebra. In this paper, we present…
When gravity is quantum, the point structure of space-time should be replaced by a non-commutative geometry. This is true even for quantum gravity in the infrared. Using the octonions as space-time coordinates, we construct a pre-spacetime,…
A hidden gauge theory structure of quantum mechanics which is invisible in its conventional formulation is uncovered. Quantum mechanics is shown to be equivalent to a certain Yang-Mills theory with an infinite-dimensional gauge group and a…
Quantum groups emerged in the latter quarter of the 20th century as, on the one hand, a deep and natural generalisation of symmetry groups for certain integrable systems, and on the other as part of a generalisation of geometry itself…
A formulation of quantum mechanics based on replacing the general unitary group by finite groups is considered. To solve problems arising in the context of this formulation, we use computer algebra and computational group theory methods.
We present a general survey of some recent developments regarding the construction of compact quantum symmetric spaces and the analysis of their zonal spherical functions in terms of $q$-orthogonal polynomials. In particular, we define a…
In this article we construct a large family of $R$-matrices for various extensions of small quantum groups by grouplike elements. The extensions are in correspondence to lattices between root and weight lattice and admit $R$-matrices in…
In this survey article we give basic introduction to the theory of quantum families of maps. We begin with a general look at non-commutative (or "quantum") topology. Then we formulate all our results in this language. Existence of quantum…
A group theoretical understanding of the two dimensional fractional supersymmetry is given in terms of the quantum Poincare group at roots of unity. The fractional supersymmetry algebra and the quantum group dual to it are presented and the…
Associated to any closed subgroup $G\subset U_N^+$ is a family of toral subgroups $T_Q\subset G$, indexed by the unitary matrices $Q\in U_N$. The family $\{T_Q|Q\in U_N\}$ is expected to encode the main properties of $G$, and there are…
We study the discrete groups $\Lambda$ whose duals embed into a given compact quantum group, $\hat{\Lambda}\subset G$. In the matrix case $G\subset U_n^+$ the embedding condition is equivalent to having a quotient map $\Gamma_U\to\Lambda$,…
We prove that some well known compact quantum spaces like quantum tori and some quantum two-spheres do not admit a compact quantum group structure. This is achieved by considering existence of traces, characters and nuclearity of the…
We construct a series of finite-dimensional quantum groups as braided Drinfeld doubles of Nichols algebras of type Super A, for an even root of unity, and classify ribbon structures for these quantum groups. Ribbon structures exist if and…
There is a unique finite group that lies inside the 2-dimensional unitary group but not in the special unitary group, and maps by the symmetric square to an irreducible subgroup of the 3-dimensional real special orthogonal group. In an…
We study the fusion semirings arising from easy quantum groups. We classify all the possible free ones, answering a question of T. Banica and R. Vergnioux : these are exactly the fusion rings of quantum groups without any nontrivial…
We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…
We carry out a generalization of quantum group co-representations in order to encode in this structure those cases where non-commutativity between endomorphism matrix entries and quantum space coordinates happens.
We introduce quantum versions of Manin pairs and Manin triples and define quantum moment maps in this context. This provides a framework that incorporates quantum moment maps for actions of Lie algebras and quantum groups for any quantum…
We classify the compact quantum groups acting on 4 points. These are the quantum subgroups of the quantum permutation group $\mathcal Q_4$. Our main tool is a new presentation for the algebra $\rm C(\mathcal Q_4)$, corresponding to an…
We continue to develop the theory of separable higher categories, including center functors, higher centralizers, modular extensions and group theoretical higher fusion categories. Moreover, we outline a theory of orthogonal higher…
