New types of designs called nested space-filling designs have been proposed for conducting multiple computer experiments with different levels of accuracy. In this article, we develop several approaches to constructing such designs. The…
Let $A$ be a Hopf algebra in a braided category $\cal C$. Crossed modules over $A$ are introduced and studied as objects with both module and comodule structures satisfying a compatibility condition. The category $\DY{\cal C}^A_A$ of…
We introduce a new Baxterisation for R-matrices that depend separately on two spectral parameters. The Baxterisation is based on a new algebra, close to but different from the braid group. This allows us to recover the R-matrix of the…
This is a systematic introduction for physicists to the theory of algebras and groups with braid statistics, as developed over the last three years by the author. There are braided lines, braided planes, braided matrices and braided groups…
Presentations for unbraided, braided and symmetric pseudomonoids are defined. Biequivalences characterising the semistrict bicategories generated by these presentations are proven. It is shown that these biequivalences categorify results in…
We describe Artin's braid group on a (fixed) finite number of strings as a crossed module over itself. In particular, we interpret the braid relations as crossed module structure relations.
Higher Homotopy van Kampen Theorems allow the computation as colimits of certain homotopical invariants of glued spaces. One corollary is to describe homotopical excision in critical dimensions in terms of induced modules and crossed…
We consider two families of categories. The first is the family of semisimple quotients of H. Andersen's tilting module categories for quantum groups of Lie type $B$ specialized at odd roots of unity. The second consists of categories…
We give two proofs of a level-rank duality for braided fusion categories obtained from quantum groups of type $C$ at roots of unity. The first proof uses conformal embeddings, while the second uses a classification of braided fusion…
A diverse collection of fusion categories may be realized by the representation theory of quantum groups. There is substantial literature where one will find detailed constructions of quantum groups, and proofs of the…
A many variable $q$-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The…
In this article, we propose the approach to structural optimization of neural networks, based on the braid theory. The paper describes the basics of braid theory as applied to the description of graph structures of neural networks. It is…
Silting modules are abundant. Indeed, they parametrise the definable torsion classes over a noetherian ring, and the hereditary torsion pairs of finite type over a commutative ring. Also the universal localisations of a hereditary ring, or…
Interpreting entwining structures as special instances of J. Beck's distributive law, the concept of entwining module can be generalized for the setting of arbitrary monoidal category. In this paper, we use the distributive law formalism to…
Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…
We construct the $Z_{N}$ symmetry extended fusion ring of bulk and chiral theories and the corresponding modular partition functions with nonanomalous subgroup $Z_{n}(\subset Z_{N})$. The chiral fusion ring provides fundamental data for…
In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…
The notion of a braided chord diagram is introduced and studied. An equivalence relation is given which identifies all braidings of a fixed chord diagram. It is shown that finite-type invariants are stratified by braid index for knots which…
Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…
We describe Lagrangian algebras in twisted Drinfeld centres for finite groups. Using the full centre construction, we establish a 1-1 correspondence between Lagrangian algebras and module categories over pointed fusion categories.
