Considering a multi-dimensional $q$-oscillator invariant under the (non quantum) group $U(n)$, we construct a $q$-deformed Levi-Civita epsilon tensor from the inner product states. The invariance of this $q$-epsilon tensor is shown to yield…

In this paper, we introduce an $N\times N$ matrix $\epsilon^{a\bar{b}}$ in the quantum groups $SU_{q}(N)$ to transform the conjugate representation into the standard form so that we are able to compute the explicit forms of the important…

The non-commutative differential calculus on the quantum groups $SL_q(N)$ is constructed. The quantum external algebra proposed contains the same number of generators as in the classical case. The exterior derivative defined in the…

For a generic $n$-qubit system, local invariants under the action of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})^{\otimes n}$ characterize non-local properties of entanglement. In general, such properties are not immediately apparent and hard to construct. Here we…

The quantum group SL_q(2,R) at roots of unity is introduced by means of duality pairings with the quantum algebra U_q(sl(2,R)). Its irreducible representations are constructed through the universal T-matrix. An invariant integral on this…

We construct the generalized version of covariant Z_3-graded differential calculus introduced by one of us (R.K.), and then extended to the case of arbitrary Z_N grading. Here our main purpose is to establish the recurrence formulae for the…

We develop a crystal base theory for the general linear Lie superalgebra $gl(m,n)$. We prove that any irreducible $U_q(gl(m,n))$-module in some category has a crystal base, and prove that its associated crystal base is parameterized by…

We show that irreducible unitary representations of nilpotent super Lie groups can be obtained by induction from a distinguished class of sub super Lie groups. These sub super Lie groups are natural analogues of polarizing subgroups that…

A standard bicovariant differential calculus on a quantum matrix space ${\tt Mat}(m,n)_q$ is considered. The principal result of this work is in observing that the $U_q\frak{s}(\frak{gl}_m\times \frak{gl}_n))_q$ is in fact a…

The Vassiliev-Gusarov link invariants of finite type are known to be closely related to perturbation theory for Chern-Simons theory. In order to clarify the perturbative nature of such link invariants, we introduce an algebra V_infinity…

In this paper, we study quantum modular forms in connection to quantum invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds introduced recently by Gukov, Pei, Putrov, and Vafa. We explicitly compute these invariants for any $3$-leg star plumbing graphs whose…

Let $V(1)$ be the natural representation of $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2).$ The multiplicities of $V(k)$ in $V(1)^{\otimes N}$ have multiple interpretations in combinatorics. In this paper, we investigate one such combinatorial interpretation of…

This is a brief introduction to link homology theories that categorify Reshetikhin--Turaev $\mathsf{SL}(N)$-quantum link invariants. A recently discovered surprising connection between finite state automata and Boolean TQFTs in dimension…

We prove D.Gaiotto's conjecture about geometric Satake equivalence for quantum supergroup $U_q({\mathfrak{gl}}(N-1|N))$ for generic $q$. The equivalence goes through the category of factorizable sheaves.

We give a general fixed parameter tractable algorithm to compute quantum invariants of links presented by diagrams, whose complexity is singly exponential in the carving-width (or the tree-width) of the diagram. In particular, we get a…

We study the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(Lsl(M,N))$ and its finite-dimensional representations. We prove a triangular decomposition and establish a system of Poincar\'{e}-Birkhoff-Witt generators for this superalgebra, both in terms of…

We review the solutions of O(N) and U(N) quantum field theories in the large $N$ limit and as 1/N expansions, in the case of vector representations. Since invariant composite fields have small fluctuations for large $N$, the method relies…

For a banded link $L$ in a surface times a circle, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants are topological invariants depending on a sequence of complex $2p$-th roots of unity $(A_p)_{p\in 2\mathbb{N}}$. We show that there exists a…

We study tensor products of two-dimensional evaluation $U_q\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2$-modules at generic values of $q$, $U_q\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2$ homomorphisms between them, and closely related subjects.

We use the methods of PT-symmetric quantum theory to find a one-parameter family of ISU(1|1)-invariant planar super-Landau models with positive norm, uncovering an `accidental', and generically spontaneously-broken, worldline supersymmetry,…
