In this paper, we introduce a notion of a self-similar action of a group $G$ on a $k$-graph $\Lambda$, and associate it a universal C*-algebra $\O_{G,\Lambda}$. We prove that $\O_{G,\Lambda}$ can be realized as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of…

We construct new families of vector orthogonal polynomials that have the property to be eigenfunctions of some differential operator. They are extensions of the Hermite and Laguerre polynomial systems. A third family, whose first member has…

It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…

We construct a large family of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras related to small quantum groups, with a factorizable R-matrix. Our main purpose is to obtain non-semisimple modular tensor categories for quantum groups at even roots of unity, where…

We introduce an axiomatization of the notion of a semidirect product of locally compact quantum groups and study properties. Our approach is slightly different from the one introduced in the thesis of S.~Roy and, unlike the investigations…

The $q$--deformation $U_q (h_4)$ of the harmonic oscillator algebra is defined and proved to be a Ribbon Hopf algebra.Associated with this Hopf algebra we define an infinite dimensional braid group representation on the Hilbert space of the…

The automorphism groups ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ and ${\rm Aut\,}W_n$ of the polynomial algebra $A_n=C[x_1,x_2,\cdots, x_n]$ and the rank $n$ Witt algebra $W_n={\rm Der\,}A_n$ are studied in this paper. It is well-known that ${\rm Aut\,}A_n$ for…

Twin groups and virtual twin groups are planar analogues of braid groups and virtual braid groups, respectively. These groups play the role of braid groups in the Alexander-Markov correspondence for the theory of stable isotopy classes of…

The $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$ naturally contains a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$ and, a fortiori, also of its diagonal subalgebra $\mathcal{D}_2$ with Cantor spectrum. This paper is aimed at studying the group…

Let g be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra, and U_h(g) the corresponding quantum group. We showed in arXiv:1610.09744 and arXiv:1610.09741 that the braided quasi-Coxeter structure on integrable, category O representations of U_h(g) which…

We investigate the automorphism group of the quantised enveloping algebra U of the positive nilpotent part of certain simple complex Lie algebras g in the case where the deformation parameter q \in \mathbb{C}^* is not a root of unity.…

The paper deals with braided Clifford algebras, understood as Chevalley-Kahler deformations of braided exterior algebras. It is shown that Clifford algebras based on involutive braids can be naturally endowed with a braided quantum group…

Let $\hat{\frak g}$ be an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. The quantum group $U_h(\hat{\frak g})$ (over $\mathbb{C}[[h]]$) is known to be a quasitriangular Hopf algebra: in particular, it has a universal $ R $--matrix, which yields an $…

We construct a family of q-deformations of SU(2) for complex parameters q not equal to 0. For real q, the deformation coincides with Woronowicz' compact quantum SU_q(2) group. For q not real, SU_q(2) is only a braided compact quantum group…

We construct a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group on the bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective modules over a finite dimensional algebra which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This categorical…

Let $k$ be an algebraically-closed field, and $B$ a unital, associative $k$-algebra with $n := \dim_kB < \infty$. For each $1 \le m \le n$, the collection of all $m$-dimensional subalgebras of $B$ carries the structure of a projective…

We introduce and develop a language of semigroups over the braid groups for a study of braid monodromy factorizations (bmf's) of plane algebraic curves and other related objects. As an application we give a new proof of Orevkov's theorem on…

We study the explicit formula of Lusztig's integral forms of the level one quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$ in the endomorphism ring of symmetric functions in infinitely many variables tensored with the group algebra of $\mathbb Z$.…

We study factorization algebras on configuration spaces of points on the curved, colored by elements of the root lattice. We show that the factorization algebra attached to Lusztig's quantum group can be obtained as a direct image of a…
