We study local algebras, which are structures similar to $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebras concentrated in degrees $-1,0,1$, but without a product defined for pairs of elements at the same degree $\pm1$. To any triple consisting of a Kac-Moody…

We construct infinite-dimensional analogues of finite-dimensional simple modules of the nonstandard $q$-deformed enveloping algebra $U_q'(\mathfrak{so}_n)$ defined by Gavrilik and Klimyk, and we do the same for the classical universal…

Let $(H, \sigma)$ be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra, not necessarily finite dimensional. Following methods of Doi and Takeuchi, which parallel the constructions of Radford in the case of finite dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebras,…

We first give a pedagogical introduction to the differential calculus on q-groups and analize the relation between differential calculus and q-Lie algebra. Equivalent definitions of bicovariant differential calculus are studied and their…

In this Master of Science Thesis I introduce geometric algebra both from the traditional geometric setting of vector spaces, and also from a more combinatorial view which simplifies common relations and operations. This view enables us to…

In a previous paper by the author a universal ring of invariants for algebraic structures of a given type was constructed. This ring is a polynomial algebra that is generated by certain trace diagrams. It was shown that this ring admits the…

We review some recent advances in modular representation theory of symmetric groups and related Hecke algebras. We discuss connections with Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras and gradings on the blocks of the group algebras $F\Sigma_n$, which…

A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A-infinity algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and $V$ a finite-dimensional representation of $G$. Costello-Gaiotto studied a graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{d}_{\mathfrak{g}, V}$ and the associated affine Kac-Moody…

We represent Feigin's construction [11] of lattice W algebras and give some simple results: lattice Virasoro and $W_3$ algebras. For simplest case $g=sl(2)$ we introduce whole $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group on this lattice. We find simplest…

G-algebras, or Groebner bases algebras, were considered by Levandovsky, these algebras include very important families of algebras, like the Weyl algebras and the universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra. These…

In this paper, we study the two-parameter quantum group $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak sl_{\infty})$ associated to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak sl_{\infty}$ of infinite rank. We shall prove that the two-parameter quantum group $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak…

We consider the extended superconformal algebras of the Knizhnik-Bershadsky type with $W$-algebra like composite operators occurring in the commutation relations, but with generators of conformal dimension 1,$\frac{3}{2}$ and 2, only. These…

We provide an (almost) self-contained construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of the mapping class group. We describe its properties including its Hermitian structure, irreducibility and integrality (at prime level).…

Hamilton in the course of his studies on quaternions came up with an elegant geometric picture for the group SU(2). In this picture the group elements are represented by ``turns'', which are equivalence classes of directed great circle arcs…

For each $\ell\geq 1$ and $\lambda,\mu\in\Bbbk$, we study the representations of a family of pointed Hopf algebras $\mathcal{A}_{\lambda,\mu}$. These arise as Hopf cocycle deformations of the graded algebra $\mathcal{FK}_3\#\Bbbk…

We describe quantum groups given by multiparametric deformations of enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody algebras as a family of pointed Hopf algebras introduced by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider associated to a generalized Cartan matrix. We…

Hopf algebras appear in connection with various problems in Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, mainly through their categoriesof representations, which are examples of tensor categories. In recent years, there have been major…

To classify the classical field theories with W-symmetry one has to classify the symplectic leaves of the corresponding W-algebra, which are the intersection of the defining constraint and the coadjoint orbit of the affine Lie algebra if…

We define the Hopf superalgebra U_T sl(1,1), which is a variant of the quantum supergroup U_q sl(1,1), and its tensor product representations V_1^{\otimes n} for n>0. We construct families of DG algebras A, B and R_n, and consider the DG…
