In these lecture notes for a summer mini-course, we provide an exposition on quantum groups and Hecke algebras, including (quasi) R-matrix, canonical basis, and $q$-Schur duality. Then we formulate their counterparts in the setting of…
We consider the possibility that the SU(2) isospin symmetry, exact in strong interactions but only approximate in nature, is in fact a quantum group. Using a doublet of q-quarks, we build the wavefuntions of pi-mesons, nucleons and Delta…
We show that higher order inter-group covariances involving even number of qubits are necessarily positive semidefinite for N qubit separable states, which are completely symmetric under permutations of the qubits. This identification leads…
In this part one of a series of papers, we introduce a new version of quantum covering and super groups with no isotropic odd simple root, which is suitable for the studies of integrable modules, integral forms and bar-involution. A quantum…
In \cite{Oh22}, the second author defined a complex of groups decomposition of the fundamental group of a finitely generated 2-dimensional special group, called an \emph{intersection complex}, which is a quasi-isometry invariant. In this…
By a quasi-representation of a group $G$ we mean an approximately multiplicative map of $G$ to the unitary group of a unital $C^*$-algebra. A quasi-representation induces a partially defined map at the level $K$-theory. In the early 90s…
We determine the structure of finitely generated groups which are quasi-isometric to symmetric spaces of noncompact type, allowing Euclidean de Rham factors If $X$ is a symmetric space of noncompact type with no Euclidean de Rham factor,…
Let $X$ be a smooth variety or orbifold and let $Z \subseteq X$ be a complete intersection defined by a section of a vector bundle $E \to X$. Originally proposed by Givental, quantum Serre duality refers to a precise relationship between…
We introduce the notion of quasi-BNS invariants, where we replace homomorphism to $\mathbb R$ by homogenous quasimorphisms to $\mathbb R$ in the theory of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants. We prove that the quasi-BNS invariant $Q\Sigma(G)$…
We define the intersection complex for the universal cover of a compact weakly special square complex and show that it is a quasi-isometry invariant. By using this quasi-isometry invariant, we study the quasi-isometric classification of…
It is well-known that $QI(\mathbb{R})\cong(QI(\mathbb{R}_{+})\times QI(\mathbb{R}_{-}))\rtimes <t>$, where $QI(\mathbb{R})$(resp. $QI(\mathbb{R}_{+})(\cong QI(\mathbb{R_-}))$) is the group of quasi-isometries of the real line (resp.…
In this article, we introduce a completion $\widehat{U}^+_v(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{g})$ of the positive half of the quantum affinization $U^+_v(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{g})$ of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. On…
We introduce a unital associative algebra ${\mathcal{SV}ir\!}_{q,k}$, having $q$ and $k$ as complex parameters, generated by the elements $K^\pm_m$ ($\pm m\geq 0$), $T_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}$), and $G^\pm_m$ ($m\in \mathbb{Z}+{1\over 2}$ in…
The theory of quantum symmetric pairs provides a universal K-matrix which is an analogue of the universal R-matrix for quantum groups. The main ingredient in the construction of the universal K-matrix is a quasi K-matrix which has so far…
It came to the attention of myself and the coauthors of (S., Rozowski, Silva, Rot, 2022) that a number of process calculi can be obtained by algebraically presenting the branching structure of the transition systems they specify. Labelled…
We apply the SL(2,C) lattice Kac-Moody algebra of Alekseev, Faddeev and Semenov-Tian-Shansky to obtain a new lattice description of the SU(2) chiral model in two dimensions. The system has a global quantum group symmetry and it can be…
We introduce a new class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which we refer to as continuum Kac-Moody algebras. Their construction is closely related to that of usual Kac-Moody algebras, but they feature a continuum root system with no…
We survey some recent development on the theory of $\imath$Hall algebras. Starting from $\imath$quivers (aka quivers with involutions), we construct a class of 1-Gorenstein algebras called $\imath$quiver algebras, whose semi-derived Hall…
We obtain two related characterizations of discrete quantum groups and discrete quantum groups of Kac type as allegorical group objects in the symmetric monoidal dagger category of quantum sets and relations, of interest to quantum…
Arithmetical invariants---such as sets of lengths, catenary and tame degrees---describe the non-uniqueness of factorizations in atomic monoids. We study these arithmetical invariants by the monoid of relations and by presentations of the…
