The aim of this work is to construct a cohomology theory controlling the deformations of a general Drinfel'd algebra. The task is accomplished in three steps. The first step is the construction of a modified cobar complex adapted to a…
For non-abelian simple objects in a unitary modular category, the density of their braid group representations, the #P-hard evaluation of their associated link invariants, and the BQP-completeness of their anyonic quantum computing models…
A fundamental problem from invariant theory is to describe the endomorphism algebra of multilinear functions on a representation V invariant under the action of a group G. According to Weyl's classic, a first main (later: fundamental)…
We study a wide range of homologically-defined representations of surface braid groups and of mapping class groups of surfaces, including the Lawrence-Bigelow representations of the classical braid groups. These representations naturally…
We study the family of irreducible modules for quantum affine $\lie{sl}_{n+1}$ whose Drinfeld polynomials are supported on just one node of the Dynkin diagram. We identify all the prime modules in this family and prove a unique…
Very recently, Maurice Chayet and Skip Garibaldi have introduced a class of commutative non-associative algebras, for each simple linear algebraic group over an arbitrary field (with some minor restriction on the characteristic). In a…
Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…
This is an introductory paper about our recent merge of a noncommutative de Finetti type result with representations of the infinite braid and symmetric group which allows to derive factorization properties from symmetries. We explain some…
The Eulerian idempotents, first introduced for the symmetric group and later extended to all reflection groups, generate a family of representations called the Eulerian representations that decompose the regular representation. In Type $A$,…
The Drinfel'd double D(A) of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra A is a Hopf algebraic counterpart of the monoidal center construction. Majid introduced an important representation of the Drinfel'd double, which he called the Schr\"odinger…
Let $\k$ be a (topological) field of characteristic 0. Using a Drinfeld associator $\Phi$, a representation $\Phi(\rho)$ of the braid group over the field $\k((h))$ of Laurent series can be associated to any representation $\rho$ of a…
These are the notes for a course on representations of quivers for second year students in Paderborn in summer 2007. My aim was to provide a basic introduction without using any advanced methods. It turns out that a good knowledge of linear…
We will introduce two new classes of Dirichlet series which are monoids under multiplication. The first class $\mathfrak{A}^{\#}$ contains both the extended Selberg class $\mathscr{S}^{\#}$ of Kaczorowski and Perelli as well as many…
This is an expository paper about iterations of a smooth real function $f$ on $[0,\varepsilon)$ such that $f(0)=0$, $f'(0)=1$, and $f(x)<x$ for $x>0$, i.e., the sequence defined by $x_{n+1}=f(x_n)$. This sequence has interesting…
Division algebras have demonstrated their utility in studying non-associative algebras and their connection to the Standard Model through complex Clifford algebras. This article focuses on exploring the connection between these complex…
In this paper, we describe the non-commutative formal geometry underlying a certain class of discrete integrable systems. Our main example is a non-commutative analog, labeled $q$-P$(A_3)$, of the sixth $q$-Painlev\'e equation. The system…
We define and study the theory of derivation-based connections on a recently introduced class of bimodules over an algebra which reduces to the category of modules whenever the algebra is commutative. This theory contains, in particular, a…
The aim of this paper is to study the normal forms of nonautonomous differential systems. For doing so, we first investigate the nonuniform dichotomy spectrum of the linear evolution operators that admit a nonuniform exponential dichotomy,…
Drinfeld associator is a key tool in computing the Kontsevich integral of knots. A Drinfeld associator is a series in two non-commuting variables, satisfying highly complicated algebraic equations - hexagon and pentagon. The logarithm of a…
In arXiv:math/0105152, the second author used the Kontsevich deformation quantization technique to define a natural connection \omega_n on the compactified configuration spaces of n points on the upper half-plane. This connection takes…
