We give a review and some new relations on the structure of the monodromy algebra (also called loop algebra) associated with a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H. It is shown that as an algebra it coincides with the so-called braided group…

Descent algebras of graded bialgebras were introduced by F. Patras as a generalization of Solomon's descent algebras for Coxeter groups of type $A$, i.e. symmetric groups. The universal enveloping algebra of the free Lie algebra on a…

We develop a theory of multigraded (i.e., $N^l$-graded) combinatorial Hopf algebras modeled on the theory of graded combinatorial Hopf algebras developed by Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile [Compos. Math. 142 (2006), 1--30]. In particular we…

We describe a few properties of the non semi-simple associative algebra H = M_3 + (M_{2|1}(Lambda2))_0, where Lambda2 is the Grassmann algebra with two generators. We show that H is not only a finite dimensional algebra but also a (non…

In this paper, we present an approach to the definition of multiparameter quantum groups by studying Hopf algebras with triangular decomposition. Classifying all of these Hopf algebras which are of what we call weakly separable type over a…

We provide new constraints for algebro-geometric subgroups of mapping class groups, namely images of fundamental groups of curves under complex algebraic maps to the moduli space of smooth curves. Specifically, we prove that the restriction…

This is a contribution to the classification program of pointed Hopf algebras. We give a generalization of the quantum Serre relations and propose a generalization of the Frobenius-Lusztig kernels in order to compute Nichols algebras of…

Bergeron and Li have introduced a set of axioms which guarantee that the Grothendieck groups of a tower of algebras $\bigoplus_{n\ge0}A_n$ can be endowed with the structure of graded dual Hopf algebras. Hivert and Nzeutzhap, and…

This is a survey paper about representation theory and noncommutative geometry of reductive p-adic groups G. The main focus points are: 1. The structure of the Hecke algebra H(G), the Harish-Chandra-Schwartz algebra S(G) and the reduced…
