The purpose of this article is to prove that the category of cocommutative Hopf $K$-algebras, over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, is a semi-abelian category. Moreover, we show that this category is action representable, and that it…
Homotopy Quantum Field Theories as variants of Topological Quantum Field Theories are described by functors from some cobordism category, enriched with homotopical data, to a symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$. A new notion of HQFTs…
We consider "Hopfological" techniques as in \cite{Ko} but for infinite dimensional Hopf algebras, under the assumption of being co-Frobenius. In particular, $H=k[{\mathbb Z}]\#k[x]/x^2$ is the first example, whose corepresentations category…
Family of doublings of Hopf algeras based on the product of algebra and its dual are constructed and studied. Special cases of these construction may be considered as natural quantum analogs of rings of differential operators on groups.…
Coherent states are introduced and their properties are discussed for all simple quantum compact groups. The multiplicative form of the canonical element for the quantum double is used to introduce the holomorphic coordinates on a general…
We develop a notion of formal groups in the filtered setting and describe a duality relating these to a specified class of filtered Hopf algebras. We then study a deformation to the normal cone construction in the setting of derived…
The paper develop the alternative formulation of quantum mechanics known as the phase space quantum mechanics or deformation quantization. It is shown that the quantization naturally arises as an appropriate deformation of the classical…
We revisit our earlier work on the representation of quantum systems as Chu spaces, and investigate the use of coalgebra as an alternative framework. On the one hand, coalgebras allow the dynamics of repeated measurement to be captured, and…
The fermionic Fock space admits two different actions of the quantized enveloping algebra of $\hat\sln$> The first one is a q-deformation of the well-known level-one representation of the affine Lie algebra and the second one is a new…
We show that if $g_\Gamma$ is the quantum tangent space (or quantum Lie algebra in the sense of Woronowicz) of a bicovariant first order differential calculus over a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra $(A,r)$, then a certain extension of it is…
We propose a generalization of the description of Bell's inequalities in algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) to the context of locally covariant quantum field theory (LCQFT). We use the functorial formulation of the state space as…
This paper gives a complete selfcontained proof of our result announced in hep-th/9909126 showing that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of extraction of finite values based on…
We classify all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero such that its coradical is isomorphic to the algebra of functions over a dihedral group D_m, with m=4a> 11. We obtain this…
Comodules over Hopf algebroids are of central importance in algebraic topology. It is well-known that a Hopf algebroid is the same thing as a presheaf of groupoids on Aff, the opposite category of commutative rings. We show in this paper…
Quantum categories were introduced in [4] as generalizations of both bi(co)algebroids and small categories. We clarify details of that work. In particular, we show explicitly how the monadic definition of a quantum category unpacks to a set…
In this paper we study two deformation procedures for quantum groups: deformations by twists, that we call "comultiplication twisting", as they modify the coalgebra structure, while keeping the algebra one -- and deformations by 2-cocycle,…
We discuss quantum deformation of the affine transformation algebra. It is shown that the quantum algebra has a non-cocommutative Hopf algebra structure, simple realizations and quantum tensor operators.
This paper revisits the equivalence problem between algebraic quantum field theories and prefactorization algebras defined over globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. We develop a radically new approach whose main innovative features are…
We show that the algebra of the bicovariant differential calculus on a quantum group can be understood as a projection of the cross product between a braided Hopf algebra and the quantum double of the quantum group. The resulting super-Hopf…
A general theory of matrix-spherical functions for dual Hopf algebras and right coideal subalgebras is developed. We establish their existence and define their orthogonality relations. When specialized to Kolb and Letzter's quantum…
