We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…

A construction of the noncommutative-geometric counterparts of classical classifying spaces is presented, for general compact matrix quantum structure groups. A quantum analogue of the classical concept of the classifying map is introduced…

The Gauss decomposition of quantum groups and supergroups are considered. The main attention is paid to the R-matrix formulation of the Gauss decomposition and its properties as well as its relation to the contraction procedure. Duality…

This is a survey on the transitive quantum groups $G\subset S_N^+$, and on the flat matrix models $\pi:C(G)\to M_N(C(X))$ for the corresponding Hopf algebras. We review the known results on the subject, with a number of improvements,…

$Q$-systems are recursion relations satisfied by the characters of the restrictions of special finite-dimensional modules of quantum affine algebras. They can also be viewed as mutations in certain cluster algebras, which have a natural…

In this paper we study modular tensor categories (braided rigid balanced tensor categories with additional finiteness and non-degeneracy conditions), in particular, representations of quantum groups at roots of unity. We show that the…

We demonstrate that the matrix quantum group $SL_q(2)$ gives rise to nontrivial matrix product operator representations of the Lie group $SL(2)$, providing an explicit characterization of the nontrivial global $SU(2)$ symmetry of the XXZ…

Motivated by the novel applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory and its generalizations in cognitive science, psychology, social and political sciences, and economics, we extend the notion of the tensor product and…

This paper is a sequel to "Localization of $\frak{u}$-modules. I", hep-th/9411050. We are starting here the geometric study of the tensor category $\cal{C}$ associated with a quantum group (corresponding to a Cartan matrix of finite type)…

We introduce the rigid tensor category of tubular partitions, and use it to provide a combinatorial model for the representation category of the quantum automorphism group of a homogeneous rooted tree.

We generalize the concept of stabilizer subgroups to compact quantum groups.

Anisotropic systems of quarks and gluons, which at least for sufficiently short space-time intervals can be treated as homogeneous and static, are considered. The gluon polarization tensor of such a system is explicitly computed within the…

Easy quantum groups have been studied intensively since the time they were introduced by Banica and Speicher in 2009. They arise as a subclass of ($C^*$-algebraic) compact matrix quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz. Due to some…

This is an introduction to linear algebra and group theory. We first review the linear algebra basics, namely the determinant, the diagonalization procedure and more, and with the determinant being constructed as it should, as a signed…

Motivated by classical investigation of conjugation invariant positive-definite functions on discrete groups, we study tracial central states on universal C*-algebras associated with compact quantum groups, where centrality is understood in…

We investigate the group $G \vee H$ obtained by gluing together two groups $G$ and $H$ at the neutral element. This construction curiously shares some properties with the free product but others with the direct product. Our results address…

The notion of simple compact quantum group is introduced. As non-trivial (noncommutative and noncocommutative) examples, the following families of compact quantum groups are shown to be simple: (a) The universal quantum groups $B_u(Q)$ for…

The concept of a crossed tensor product of algebras is studied from a few points of views. Some related constructions are considered. Crossed enveloping algebras and their representations are discussed. Applications to the noncommutative…

In this paper we introduce distinct approaches to loop braid groups, a generalisation of braid groups, and unify all the definitions that have appeared so far in literature, with a complete proof of the equivalence of these definitions.…

We classify the compact quantum groups $A_u(Q)$ (resp. $B_u(Q)$) up to isomorphism when $Q>0$ (resp. when $Q \bar{Q} \in {\mathbb R} I_n$). We show that the general $A_u(Q)$'s and $B_u(Q)$'s for arbitrary $Q$ have explicit decompositions…
