For the two-parameter matrix quantum group GLp,q(2) all bicovariant differential calculi (with a four-dimensional space of 1-forms) are known. They form a one-parameter family. Here, we give an improved presentation of previous results by…

The purpose of this paper is to study categorifications of tensor products of finite dimensional modules for the quantum group for sl(2). The main categorification is obtained using certain Harish-Chandra bimodules for the complex Lie…

Using a homological invariant together with an obstruction class in a certain Ext^2-group, we may classify objects in triangulated categories that have projective resolutions of length two. This invariant gives strong classification results…

We categorify the idempotented form of quantum sl(n).

We use tools from non-standard analysis to formulate the building blocks of quantum field theory within the framework of categorical quantum mechanics. Building upon previous work, we construct an object of *Hilb having quantum fields as…

This paper is the sequel to [HP1] to study the deformed structures and representations of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ associated to the finite dimensional simple Lie algebras $\mg$. An equivalence of the braided…

Lecture notes. Introduction to the cohomology of algebras, Lie algebras, Lie bialgebras and quantum groups. Contains a new derivation of the classification of classical r-matrices in terms of deformation cohomology, and a calculation of the…

We identify the trace, or 0th Hochschild homology, of type ADE categorified quantum groups with the corresponding current algebra of the same type. To prove this, we show that 2-representations defined using categories of modules over…

Given a simple undirected graph, one can construct from it a $c$-step nilpotent Lie algebra for every $c \geq 2$ and over any field $K$, in particular also over the real and complex numbers. These Lie algebras form an important class of…

In this paper we discuss the isomorphism types of parabolic subgroups in Kac-Moody groups. The results have applications in the study of topology of Kac-Moody groups and their classifying spaces.

In our previous paper math.QA/0412192 the Cayley-Hamilton identity for the GL(m|n) type quantum matrix algebra was obtained. Here we continue investigation of that identity. We derive it in three alternative forms and, most importantly, we…

We categorify one half of the small quantum sl(2) at a prime root of unity. An extension of this construction to an arbitrary simply-laced case is proposed.

The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…

We start with the observation that the quantum group SL_q(2), described in terms of its algebra of functions has a quantum subgroup, which is just a usual Cartan group. Based on this observation we develop a general method of constructing…

We describe an interesting relation between Lie 2-algebras, the Kac-Moody central extensions of loop groups, and the group $\mathrm{String}(n)$. A Lie 2-algebra is a categorified version of a Lie algebra where the Jacobi identity holds up…

We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl_2 and sl_3 and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel…

A 2-category was introduced in arXiv:0803.3652 [math.QA] that categorifies Lusztig's integral version of quantum sl(2). Here we construct for each positive integer N arepresentation of this 2-category using the equivariant cohomology of…

The paper is motivated by an analogy between cluster algebras and Kac-Moody algebras: both theories share the same classification of finite type objects by familiar Cartan-Killing types. However the underlying combinatorics beyond the two…

Two groups are called isocategorical over a field $k$ if their respective categories of $k$-linear representations are monoidally equivalent. We classify isocategorical groups over arbitrary fields, extending the earlier classification of…

We define 2-functors on the categorified quantum group of a simply-laced Kac-Moody algebra that induce Lusztig's internal braid group action at the level of the Grothendieck group.
