Braided tensor products have been introduced by the author as a systematic way of making two quantum-group-covariant systems interact in a covariant way, and used in the theory of braided groups. Here we study infinite braided tensor…
The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered configurations of distinct points on the real projective line,…
In this paper we describe connections among extraspecial 2-groups, unitary representations of the braid group and multi-qubit braiding quantum gates. We first construct new representations of extraspecial 2-groups. Extending the latter by…
We classify module categories over the category of representations of quantum $SL(2)$ in a case when $q$ is not a root of unity. In a case when $q$ is a root of unity we classify module categories over the semisimple subquotient of the same…
We give a representation-theoretic bijection between rooted labeled forests with $n$ vertices and complete exceptional sequences for the quiver of type $A_n$ with straight orientation. The ascending and descending vertices in the forest…

Irreducible representations of quantum groups $SL_q(2)$ (in Woronowicz' approach) were classified in J.Wang, B.Parshall, Memoirs AMS 439 in the~case of $q$ being an~odd root of unity. Here we find the~irreducible representations for all…
In this paper, we investigate the structure of the quantum affine superalgebra associated with the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(2m+1|2n)$ for $m\geqslant 1$. The Drinfeld-Jimbo presentation for this algebra, denoted as…
We review the q-deformed spin network approact to Topological Quantum Field Theory and apply these methods to produce unitary representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. These methods produce a concise proof…
