We use modified traces to renormalize Lyubashenko's closed 3-manifold invariants coming from twist non-degenerate finite unimodular ribbon categories. Our construction produces new topological invariants which we upgrade to 2+1-TQFTs under…
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 study the diagram alphabet of knot moves associated with the character rings of certain matrix groups. The primary object is the Hopf algebra Char-GL of characters of the finite dimensional polynomial representations of the complex group…
Some new algebraic structures related to the coloured Yang-Baxter equation, and termed coloured Hopf algebras, are reviewed. Coloured quantum universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras are defined in this context. An extension to the…
This paper establishes a relation between two invariants of $3$-dimensional manifolds: the chromatic spherical invariant $\mathcal{K}$ and the Hennings-Kauffman-Radford invariant $\operatorname{HKR}$. We show that, for a spherical Hopf…
We define a "combinatorial Hopf algebra" as a Hopf algebra which is free (or cofree) and equipped with a given isomorphism to the free algebra over the indecomposables (resp. the cofree coalgebra over the primitives). The choice of such an…
The solution of the Drinfeld equation corresponding to the full set of different carrier subalgebras in sl(3) are explicitly constructed. The obtained Hopf structures are studied. It is demonstrated that the presented twist deformations can…
This paper extends classical results in the invariant theory of finite groups and finite group schemes to the actions of finite Hopf algebras on commutative rings.
By starting from the non-standard quantum deformation of the sl(2,R) algebra, a new quantum deformation for the real Lie algebra so(2,2) is constructed by imposing the former to be a Hopf subalgebra of the latter. The quantum so(2,2)…
We construct multi-brace cotensor Hopf algebras with bosonizations of quantum multi-brace algebras as examples. Quantum quasi-symmetric algebras are then obtained by taking particular initial data; this allows us to realize the whole…
We construct the vector space dual to the space of right-invariant differential forms construct from a first order differential calculus on inhomogeneous quantum group. We show that this vector space is equipped with a structure of a Hopf…
By correctly identifying the role of central extension in the centrally extended Heisenberg algebra h, we show that it is indeed possible to construct a Hopf algebraic structure on the corresponding enveloping algebra U(h) and eventually…
We associate to a multiple polylogarithm a holomorphic 1-form on the universal abelian cover of its domain. We relate the 1-forms to the symbol and variation matrix and show that the 1-forms naturally define a lift of the variation of mixed…
We introduce uniparametric and multiparametric quantisations of the general linear supergroup, in the form of "quantised function algebras", both in a formal setting - yielding "quantum formal series Hopf superalgebras", a` la Drinfeld -…
The ribbon cocycle invariant is defined by means of a partition function using ternary cohomology of self-distributive structures (TSD) and colorings of ribbon diagrams of a framed link, following the same paradigm introduced by Carter,…
n^{th} root of a Lie algebra and its dual (that is fractional supergroup) based on the permutation group $S_n$ invariant forms are formulated in the Hopf algebra formalism. Detailed discussion of $S_3$-graided $sl(2)$ algebras is done.
These expository notes are dedicated to the study of the topology of configuration spaces of manifolds. We give detailed computations of many invariants, including the fundamental group of the configuration spaces of $\mathbb{R}^2$, the…
In this paper we describe the right-sided combinatorial Hopf structure of three Hopf algebras appearing in the context of renormalization in quantum field theory: the non-commutative version of the Fa\`a di Bruno Hopf algebra, the…
The copointed liftings of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra $\mathcal{FK}_3$ over the algebra of functions on the symmetric group $\mathbb{S}_3$ were classified by Andruskiewitsch and the author. We demonstrate here that those associated to a…
By using the notion of a rigid R-matrix in a monoidal category and the Reshetikhin--Turaev functor on the category of tangles, we review the definition of the associated invariant of long knots. In the framework of the monoidal categories…
