Group field theories are particular quantum field theories defined on D copies of a group which reproduce spin foam amplitudes on a space-time of dimension D. In these lecture notes, we present the general construction of group field…
We focus on the question: "Is space fundamentally discrete or continuous?" in the context of current quantum gravity research. In particular, we paint a scenario based on the idea that 'quantum space' is a sort of peculiar condensed matter…
We define the notion of invariant derivation of a C*-algebra under a compact quantum group action and prove that in certain conditions, such derivations are generators of one parameter automorphism groups.
We put forward a possible new interpretation and explanatory framework for quantum theory. The basic hypothesis underlying this new framework is that quantum particles are conceptual entities. More concretely, we propose that quantum…
Quantum groups and quantum homogeneous spaces - developed by several authors since the 80's - provide a large class of examples of algebras which for many reasons we interpret as `coordinate algebras' over noncommutative spaces. This…
Following Isaacs (see [Isa08, p. 94]), we call a normal subgroup N of a finite group G large, if $C_G(N) \leq N$, so that N has bounded index in G. Our principal aim here is to establish some general results for systematically producing…
For each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group and each integer level we construct a modular tensor category from a quotient of a certain subcategory of the category of representations of the corresponding quantum group. We determine…
The article is devoted to linear quasigroups and some of their generalizations. In the first part main definitions and notions of the theory of quasigroups are given. In the second part some elementary properties of linear quasigroups and…
This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…
The problem of introducing a dependence of elements of quantum group on classical parameters is considered. It is suggested to interpret a homomorphism from the algebra of functions on quantum group to the algebra of sections of a sheaf of…
The notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced in algebraic context by Parshall and Wang when applied to compact quantum groups is shown to be equivalent to the notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced by the author. As applications,…
We study the structure and representations of a family of vertex algebras obtained from affine superalgebras by quantum reduction. As an application, we obtain in a unified way free field realizations and determinant formulas for all…
We provide a short and non-technical summary of our current knowledge and some possible perspectives on the group field theory formalism for quantum gravity, in the form of a (partial) FAQ (with answers). Some of the questions and answers…
Quantum complexity quantifies the difficulty of preparing a state or implementing a unitary transformation with limited resources. Applications range from quantum computation to condensed matter physics and quantum gravity. We seek to…
We introduce the notion of restricted dynamical quantum groups through their category of representations, which are monoidal categories with a forgetful functor to the category of $\pi$-graded vector spaces for a groupoid $\pi$.
The scope of this review is to give a pedagogical introduction to some new calculations and methods developed by the author in the context of quantum groups and their applications. The review is self- contained and serves as a "first aid…
An attempt is made to formulate quantum mechanics (QM) in physical rather than in mathematical terms. It is argued that the appropriate conceptual framework for QM is "contextual objectivity", which includes an objective definition of the…
A useful general concept of bialgebroid seems to be resolving itself in recent publications; we give a treatment in terms of modules and enriched categories. We define the term "quantum category". The definition of antipode for a…
Decoherence in quantum computers is formulated within the Semigroup approach. The error generators are identified with the generators of a Lie algebra. This allows for a comprehensive description which includes as a special case the…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions under which a subsemigroup of a topological group is a subgroup, adding to the results given in \cite{Kosh, can, axioms, forum, Hof, cc, locally} where conditions exist (such as locally…
