Using a theorem of Schechtman - Varchenko on integral expressions for solutions of Knizhnik - Zamolodchikov equations we prove that the solutions of the Yang - Baxter equation associated to complex simple Lie algebras belong to the class of…

Let $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ be an arbitrary quantum affine algebra of either untwisted or twisted type, and let $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ be its Hernandez-Leclerc category. We denote by $\mathsf{B}$ the braid group determined by the…

Khovanov and Thomas constructed a categorical action of the braid group $Br_n$ on the derived category $D(T^* Fl_n)$ of coherent sheaves on the cotangent bundle of the variety $Fl_n$ of the complete flags in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In this paper,…

For a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra the category of admissible representations is an analogue of the category of finite dimensional representations of a semisimple Lie algebra. The monoid associated to this category and the category of…

Let $\mathfrak u$ be a compact semisimple Lie algebra, and $\sigma$ be a Lie algebra involution of $\mathfrak u$. Let Rep$_q(\mathfrak u)$ be the ribbon braided tensor C*-category of $U_q(\mathfrak u)$-representations for $0<q<1$. We…

We introduce the spatial Rokhlin property for actions of coexact compact quantum groups on $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, generalizing the Rokhlin property for both actions of classical compact groups and finite quantum groups. Two key…

We give a new alternative version of the reconstruction procedure for ergodic actions of compact quantum groups and we refine it to include characterizations of (braided commutative) Yetter-Drinfeld C*-algebras. We then use this to…

We define 2-functors on the categorified quantum group of a simply-laced Kac-Moody algebra that induce Lusztig's internal braid group action at the level of the Grothendieck group.

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 observe that all classical Hamiltonian systems coming from the invariant polynomials on a reductive Lie algebra g can be integrated in a universal way. This is a consequence of Ng\^o's action of the group scheme J of regular centralizers…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple, simply-laced Lie algebra and $f \in \mathfrak{g}$ nilpotent. The Kazhdan-Lusztig category of the W-algebra $W^\kappa(\mathfrak{g},f)$ associated with $(\mathfrak{g},f)$ at level $\kappa \in \mathbb{C}$ is…

Berenstein and Kirillov have studied the action of Bender-Knuth moves on semistandard tableaux. Losev has studied a cactus group action in Kazhdan-Lusztig theory; in type $A$ this action can also be identified in the work of Henriques and…

Given a simple connected compact Lie group $K$ and a maximal torus $T$ of $K$, the Weyl group $W=N_K(T)/T$ naturally acts on $T$. First, we use the combinatorics of the (extended) affine Weyl group to provide an explicit $W$-equivariant…

After having established elementary results on the relationship between a finite complex (pseudo-)reflection group W < GL(V) and its reflection arrangement A, we prove that the action of W on A is canonically related with other natural…

We apply the yoga of classical homotopy theory to classification problems of G-extensions of fusion and braided fusion categories, where G is a finite group. Namely, we reduce such problems to classification (up to homotopy) of maps from BG…

We establish equivalences of derived categories of the following 3 categories: (1) Principal block of representations of the quantum at a root of 1; (2) G-equivariant coherent sheaves on the Springer resolution; (3) Perverse sheaves on the…

Imprimitivity theorems provide a fundamental tool for studying the representation theory and structure of crossed-product C*-algebras. In this work, we show that the Imprimitivity Theorem for induced algebras, Green's Imprimitivity Theorem…

If we have a braid group acting on a derived category by spherical twists, how does a lift of the longest element of the symmetric group act? We give an answer to this question, using periodic twists, for the derived category of modules…

We construct a categorification of the braid groups associated with Coxeter groups inside the homotopy category of Soergel's bimodules. Classical actions of braid groups on triangulated categories should come from an action of this monoidal…

We relate full exceptional sequences in Fukaya categories of surfaces or equivalently in derived categories of graded gentle algebras to branched coverings over the disk, building on a previous classification result of the first and third…
