Various aspects of recent works on affine quantum group symmetry of integrable 2d quantum field theory are reviewed and further clarified. A geometrical meaning is given to the quantum double, and other properties of quantum groups.…
Recently the authors initiated an $\imath$Hall algebra approach to (universal) $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs. In this paper we construct and study BGP type reflection functors which lead to isomorphisms of the…
A general theory of matrix-spherical functions for dual Hopf algebras and right coideal subalgebras is developed. We establish their existence and define their orthogonality relations. When specialized to Kolb and Letzter's quantum…
We deepen the theory of quasiorthogonal and approximately quasiorthogonal operator algebras through an analysis of the commutative algebra case. We give a new approach to calculate the measure of orthogonality between two such subalgebras…
The $\imath$quantum groups have two realizations: one via the $\imath$Hall algebras and the other via the quantum Grothendieck rings of quiver varieties, as developed by the first author and Wang. The isoclasses of perverse sheaves provide…
Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly…
We construct multi-brace cotensor Hopf algebras with bosonizations of quantum multi-brace algebras as examples. Quantum quasi-symmetric algebras are then obtained by taking particular initial data; this allows us to realize the whole…
It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…
This paper introduces and analyzes symmetric and anti-symmetric quantum binary functions. Generally, such functions uniquely convert a given computational basis state into a different basis state, but with either a plus or a minus sign.…
A general algebraic approach, incorporating both invariance groups and dynamic symmetry algebras, is developed to reveal hidden coherent structures (closed complexes and configurations) in quantum many-body physics models due to symmetries…
This is a short, self-contained expository survey, focused on algebraic and analytic aspects of quantum groups. Topics covered include the definition of ``quantum group,'' the Yang-Baxter equation, quantized universal enveloping algebras,…
let $\widetilde{\bf U}^\imath$ be a quasi-split universal $\imath$quantum group associated to a quantum symmetric pair $(\widetilde{\bf U}, \widetilde{\bf U}^\imath)$ of Kac-Moody type with a diagram involution $\tau$. We establish the…
We introduce a quantum loop group associated to a general symmetric Cartan matrix, by imposing just enough relations between the usual generators $\{e_{i,k}, f_{i,k}\}_{i \in I, k \in \mathbb{Z}}$ in order for the natural Hopf pairing…
We produce neccessary and sufficient conditions for pairs of quantum minors in the quantized coordinate algebra $\Bbb{C}_q[Mat_{k \times m}]$ to quasi-commute. In addition we study the combinatorics of maximal (by inclusion) families of…
We survey some recent development on the theory of $\imath$Hall algebras. Starting from $\imath$quivers (aka quivers with involutions), we construct a class of 1-Gorenstein algebras called $\imath$quiver algebras, whose semi-derived Hall…
We review the methodology to theoretically treat parity-time- ($\mathcal{PT}$-) symmetric, non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems... (For the full abstract see paper)
We show that if two $m$-homogeneous algebras have Morita equivalent graded module categories, then they are quantum-symmetrically equivalent, that is, there is a monoidal equivalence between the categories of comodules for their associated…
The $\imath$quantum groups admit two realizations: one via the $\imath$Hall algebras and the other via the quantum Grothendieck rings of quiver varieties, as developed by the first author and Wang. Based on these two realizations, we…
We prove that the star product for quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras is short. We apply this result to obtain new conceptual proofs, from first principles, of several fundamental facts about quantum symmetric pairs. In particular,…
We introduce a new class of bases for quantized universal enveloping algebras $U_q(\mathfrak g)$ and other doubles attached to semisimple and Kac-Moody Lie algebras. These bases contain dual canonical bases of upper and lower halves of…
