It is shown that there is a hidden connection between the two well-studied sequences of the Temperley-Lieb (TL) integrable models -- the $q$-state quantum Potts (QP) models at the self-dual points and the staggered ${\rm SU}(n)$ spin-$s$…

A new inner product is constructed on each standard module over the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\mathsf{TL}_n(\beta)$ for $\beta\in \mathbb R$ and $n \ge 2$. On these modules, the Hamiltonian $h = -\sum_i e_i$ is shown to be self-adjoint with…

Dualities play a central role in the study of quantum spin chains, providing insight into the structure of quantum phase diagrams and phase transitions. In this work we study categorical dualities, which are defined as bounded-spread…

The spin representation $(\mathbb C^2)^{\otimes n}$ has a dual canonical basis introduced by Lusztig that is important in many areas of algebra, geometry, and physics. Khovanov observed that a portion of the dual canonical basis can be…

Duality properties of the $SU(2)$ Principal Chiral Model are investigated starting from a one-parameter family of its equivalent Hamiltonian descriptions generated by a non-Abelian deformation of the cotangent space $T^*SU(2) \simeq SU(2)…

A system of gravity coupled to a 2-form gauge field, a dilaton and Yang-Mills fields in $2n$ dimensions arises from the (2,1) sigma model or string. The field equations imply that the curvature with torsion and Yang-Mills field strength are…

Khovanov-Lauda define a 2-category $\mathcal{U}$ such that the split Grothendieck group $K_0(\mathcal{U})$ is isomorphic to an integral version of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $\mathbf{U}(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$, $n \geq 2$.…

Given a module $M$ for the algebra $\mathcal{D}_{\mathtt{q}}(G)$ of quantum differential operators on $G$, and a positive integer $n$, we may equip the space $F_n^G(M)$ of invariant tensors in $V^{\otimes n}\otimes M$, with an action of the…

We introduce the alternating Schur algebra $AS_F(n,d)$ as the commutant of the action of the alternating group $A_d$ on the $d$-fold tensor power of an $n$-dimensional $F$-vector space. When $F$ has characteristic different from $2$, we…

We construct two examples of q-deformed classical Howe dual pairs (sl(2,C), sl(2,C)) and (sl(2,C), sl(n,C)). Moreover, we obtain a noncommutative version of the first fundamental theorem of classical invariant theory. Our approach to these…

We obtain Schur-Weyl dualities in which the algebras, acting on both sides, are semigroup algebras of various symmetric inverse semigroups and their deformations.

We study N=1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories coupled to an adjoint chiral field with superpotential. We consider the full supersymmetric moduli space of these theories obtained by adding all allowed chiral operators. These include…
