We prove the existence of a universal braided compact quantum group acting on a graph $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra in the category of $\mathbb{T}$-$\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with a twisted monoidal structure, in the spirit of the seminal work of S.…
In this paper we present a new construction of analytic analogues of quantum groups over non-Archimedean fields and construct braided monoidal categories of their representations. We do this by constructing analytic Nichols algebras and use…
We define the braid groups of a two-dimensional orbifold and introduce conventions for drawing braid pictures. We use these to realize the Artin groups associated to the spherical Coxeter diagrams A_n, B_n=C_n and D_n and the affine…
We study geometric presentations of braid groups for particles that are constrained to move on a graph, i.e. a network consisting of nodes and edges. Our proposed set of generators consists of exchanges of pairs of particles on junctions of…
A rank-2 toric code (R2TC) Hamiltonian in two dimensions can be constructed as a Higgsed descendant of rank-2 U(1) lattice gauge theory. As noted by the authors recently, [Y.-T. Oh, J. Kim, E.-G. Moon, and J. H. Han, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 105},…
We introduce an affine Schur algebra via the affine Hecke algebra associated to Weyl group of affine type C. We establish multiplication formulas on the affine Hecke algebra and affine Schur algebra. Then we construct monomial bases and…
Quasicrystals described as the projections of higher dimensional cubic lattices, and the particular affine extensions of the dihedral group $I_2(h)$ of order $2h$, $h=2n$ being the Coxeter number, as a subgroup of affine $B_n$ offers a…
Braiding operators corresponding to the third Reidemeister move in the theory of knots and links are realized in terms of parametrized unitary matrices for all dimensions. Two distinct classes are considered. Their (non-local) unitary…

Fully braided analog of Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan construction of quasitriangular bialgebra $A(X,R)$ is proposed. For given pairing $C$ factor-algebra $A(X,R;C)$ is a dual quantum braided group. Corresponding inhomogeneous quantum group…
A geometric realization of the quasi-split affine iquantum group of type $\mathrm{AIII}_{2n-1}^{(\tau)}$ was given by Wang and the second author, in terms of equivariant K-groups of Steinberg varieties of type C. As a completion of that…
To each symmetric algebra we associate a family of algebras that we call quantum affine wreath algebras. These can be viewed both as symmetric algebra deformations of affine Hecke algebras of type $A$ and as quantum deformations of affine…
Denote by $\widetilde{\mathrm{U}}(p,q)$ the universal covering group of $\mathrm{U}(p,q)$, the linear group of isometries of the pseudo-Hermitian space $\mathbb{C}^{p,q}$ of signature $p,q$. Let $M$ be a connected analytic complete…
The $q$-Poincar\'e group of \cite{SWW:inh} is shown to have the structure of a semidirect product and coproduct $B\cocross \widetilde{SO_q(1,3)}$ where $B$ is a braided-quantum group structure on the $q$-Minkowski space of 4-momentum with…
We establish PBW type bases for $\imath$quantum groups of arbitrary finite type, using the relative braid group symmetries. Explicit formulas for root vectors are provided for $\imath$quantum groups of each rank 1 type. We show that our PBW…
The affine Schur algebra $\widetilde{S}(n,r)$ (of type A) over a field $K$ is defined to be the endomorphism algebra of the tensor space over the extended affine Weyl group of type $A_{r-1}$. By the affine Schur-Weyl duality it is…
Using a quiver algebra of a cyclic quiver, we construct a faithful categorical action of the extended braid group of affine type A on its bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective modules. The algebra is trigraded and we…
The classical de Finetti theorem in probability theory relates symmetry under the permutation group with the independence of random variables. This result has application in quantum information. Here we study states that are invariant with…
We give two alternative proofs of the invariance of the Drinfeld pairing under the action of the braid group. One uses the Shapovalov form, and the other uses a characterization of the universal $R$-matrix.
