An analysis is given of the local phase space of gravity coupled to matter to second order in perturbation theory. Working in local regions with boundaries at finite distance, we identify matter, Coulomb, and additional boundary modes. The…
Using the concept of mixable shuffles, we formulate explicitly the quantum quasi-shuffle product, as well as the subalgebra generated by primitive elements of the quantum quasi-shuffle bialgebra. We construct a braided coalgebra structure…
A quantum solvable algebra is an iterated $q$-skew extension of a commutative algebra. We get finite statification of prime spectrum for quantum solvable algebras obeying some natural conditions. We prove that for any prime ideal $I$ the…
We generalize Bonahon-Wong's $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-quantum trace map to the setting of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. More precisely, given a non-zero complex parameter $q=e^{2 \pi i \hbar}$, we associate to each isotopy class of framed…
We consider the (direct sum over all $n$ of the) $K$-theory of the semi-nilpotent commuting variety of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$, and describe its convolution algebra structure in two ways: the first as an explicit shuffle algebra (i.e. a…
We consider the algebra of Hecke correspondences (elementary transformations at a single point) acting on the algebraic K-theory groups of the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface S. We derive quadratic relations…
Covariance of a quantum space with respect to a quantum enveloping algebra ties the deformation of the multiplication of the space algebra to the deformation of the coproduct of the enveloping algebra. Since the deformation of the coproduct…
The abstract quantum algebra of observables for 2+1 gravity is analysed in the limit of small cosmological constant. The algebra splits into two sets with an explicit phase space representation;~one set consists of $6g-6$ {\it commuting}…
We provide the Cartan calculus for bicovariant differential forms on bicrossproduct quantum groups $k(M)\lrbicross kG$ associated to finite group factorizations $X=GM$ and a field $k$. The irreducible calculi are associated to certain…
This paper explores a quantum deformation of the classical identity Pf(A)^2 = det(A) for 2n by 2n skew-symmetric matrices A, which classically relates the square of the Pfaffian to the determinant. In the quantum setting, we study matrices…
To each associative unitary finite-dimensional algebra over a normal base, we associative a canonical multiplicative function called its determinant. We give various properties of this construction, as well as applications to the topology…
We consider filtered or graded algebras $A$ over a field $K$. Assume that there is a discrete valuation $O_v$ of $K$ with $m_v$ its maximal ideal and $k_v:=O_v/m_v$ its residue field. Let $\Lambda$ be $O_v$-order such that $\Lambda K=A$ and…
Let $(S,M,U)$ be a marked orbifold with or without punctures and let $\mathcal A_v$ be a quantum cluster algebra from $(S,M,U)$ with arbitrary coefficients and quantization. We provide combinatorial formulas for quantum Laurent expansion of…
A differential calculus on an associative algebra A is an algebraic analogue of the calculus of differential forms on a smooth manifold. It supplies A with a structure on which dynamics and field theory can be formulated to some extent in…
In this work, we derive the boundary Schr\"{o}dinger (functional) equation for the wave function of a quantum gravity system on a manifold with boundaries together with a new constraint equation defined on the timelike boundary. From a…
We review and systematize recent attempts to canonically quantize general relativity in 2+1 dimensions, defined on space-times $\R\times\Sigma^g$, where $\Sigma^g$ is a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$. The emphasis is on quantizations…
An effective algorithm of determining Gromov--Witten invariants of smooth hypersurfaces in any genus (subject to a degree bound) from Gromov--Witten invariants of the ambient space is proposed. The Appendix is joint with E. Schulte-Geers.
Let M be a surface with conical singularities, and consider a degenerating family of surfaces obtained from M by removing disks of smaller and smaller radius around a subset of the conical singularities. Such families arise naturally in the…
We interpret the $q$-refined theta function $\vartheta_1$ of a log Calabi-Yau surface $(\mathbb{P},E)$ as a natural $q$-refinement of the open mirror map, defined by quantum periods of mirror curves for outer Aganagic-Vafa branes on the…
We characterize mutation-finite cluster algebras of rank at least 3 using positive semi-definite quadratic forms. In particular, we associate with every unpunctured bordered surface a positive semi-definite quadratic space $V$, and with…
