The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of…
These notes contain an introduction to the theory of complex semisimple quantum groups. Our main aim is to discuss the classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for these quantum groups, following Joseph and Letzter. Along the…
Actions of algebraic groups on DG categories provide a convenient, unifying framework in some parts of geometric representation theory, especially the representation theory of reductive Lie algebras. We extend this theory to loop groups and…
We extend our previous work arXiv:1012.5721 [hep-th] on the non-compact N=2 SCFT_2 defined as the supersymmetric SL(2,R)/U(1)-gauged WZW model. Starting from path-integral calculations of torus partition functions of both the axial-type…
Coherent states on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ are defined by using harmonic analysis and representation theory of the algebra of functions on the quantum group. Semiclassical limit $q\rightarrow 1$ is discussed and the crucial role of…
I describe how integrable quantum field theories in 2 spacetime dimensions are characterized by infinite dimensional quantum group symmetries, namely the q-deformations of affine Lie algebras, and their Yangian limit. These symmetries can…
We investigate the action of outer automorphisms of finite groups of Lie type on their irreducible characters. We obtain a definite result for cuspidal characters. As an application we verify the inductive McKay condition for some further…
In a recent paper, we defined twisted unitary $1$-groups and showed that they automatically induced error-detecting quantum codes. We also showed that twisted unitary $1$-groups correspond to irreducible products of characters thereby…
These notes are our contribution to the Proceedings of the ICM 2026. We discuss some results we have obtained (in part jointly with coauthors) regarding the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups over algebraically closed…
We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…
Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…
In this paper we study of the BGG-categories $\mathcal O_q$ associated to quantum groups. We prove that many properties of the ordinary BGG-category $\mathcal O$ for a semisimple complex Lie algebra carry over to the quantum case. Of…
In this article, we exploit the theory of graded module category with semi-infinite character developed by Soergel in \cite{Soe} to study representations of the infinite dimensional Lie algebras of vector fields $W(n), S(n)$ and $H(n)$…
We study the structure of minimal parabolic subgroups of the classical infinite dimensional real simple Lie groups, corresponding to the classical simple direct limit Lie algebras. This depends on the recently developed structure of…
We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…
This paper addresses the question of how categorical symmetries act on extended operators in quantum field theory. Building on recent results in two dimensions, we introduce higher tube categories and algebras associated to higher fusion…
A definition is offered of the factorial characters of the general linear group, the symplectic group and the orthogonal group in an odd dimensional space. It is shown that these characters satisfy certain flagged Jacobi-Trudi identities.…
Let J be a finite-dimensional nilpotent algebra over a finite field F_q. We formulate a procedure for analysing characters of the group 1+J. In particular, we study characters of the group $U_n (q)$ of unipotent triangular $n\times n$…
We study the real spectrum compactification of character varieties of finitely generated groups in semisimple Lie groups. This provides a compactification with good topological properties, and we interpret the boundary points in terms of…
We provide a generalized definition for the quantized Clifford algebra introduced by Hayashi using another parameter $k$ that we call the twist. For a field of characteristic not equal to $2$, we provide a basis for our quantized Clifford…
