Kitaev's quantum double model is a family of exactly solvable lattice models that realize two dimensional topological phases of matter. Originally it is based on finite groups, and is later generalized to semi-simple Hopf algebras. We…
Kitaev's lattice models are usually defined as representations of the Drinfeld quantum double $D(H)=H\bowtie H^{*\text{op}} $, as an example of a double cross product quantum group. We propose a new version based instead on…
In this work, the second paper of this series, we study the 2+1d version of a Hamiltonian model for topological phases based on higher lattice gauge theory. We construct the ribbon operators that produce the point-like excitations. These…
A quasi-Hermitian operator is an operator that is similar to its adjoint in some sense, via a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. Whereas those metric operators are in general assumed to be bounded, we analyze…
We define a class of not necessarily linear $C_0$-semigroups $(P_t)_{t\geq0}$ on $C_b(E)$ (more generally, on $C_\kappa(E):=\frac1\kappa C_b(E)$, for some bounded function $\kappa$, which is the pointwise limit of a decreasing sequence of…
We revisit the Kitaev model for fault tolerant quantum computing on a square lattice with underlying quantum double $D(G)$ symmetry, where $G$ is a finite group. We provide projection operators for its quasiparticles content as irreducible…

Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure generated by unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. To that effect, we consider the notions of similarity and quasi-similarity…
We study the algebra of invariant representative functions over the N-fold Cartesian product of copies of a compact Lie group G modulo the action of conjugation by the diagonal subgroup. We construct a basis of invariant representative…
In this paper, we develop a semi-classical analysis on H-type groups. We define semi-classical pseudodifferential operators, prove the boundedness of their action on square integrable functions and develop a symbolic calculus. Then, we…
We prove the subnormality of an operator-weighted composition operator whose symbol is a transformation of a discrete measure space and weights are multiplication operators in $L^2$-spaces under the assumption of existence of a family of…
In this article, we study strictly elliptic, second-order differential operators on a bounded Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, subject to certain non-local Wentzell-Robin boundary conditions. We prove that such operators generate…
We investigate the renormalization of a class of gauge-invariant nonlocal quark bilinear operators, including a finite-length Wilson-line (called Wilson-line operators). The matrix elements of these operators are involved in the recent…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the operator class in which every nonzero intertwiner between two operators in $\mathcal{A}$ has dense range. Utilizing the operators in $\mathcal{A}$ as atoms and the flag structure as connection, we introduce an…
The paper concerns algebras of almost periodic pseudodifferential operators on $\mathbb R^d$ with symbols in H\"ormander classes. We study three representations of such algebras, one of which was introduced by Coburn, Moyer and Singer and…
The purpose of the paper is to introduce and study a new class of operators on semi-Hilbertian spaces i.e.; spaces generated by positive semidefinite sesquilinear forms. Let H be a Hilbert space and let A be a positive bounded operator on H…
This paper focuses on systems of strongly coupled elliptic operators whose coefficients may be unbounded and are defined on a domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$. It is shown that a quasi-contractive semigroup in $L^p$-spaces can be…
Related to a semigroup of operators on a metric measure space, we define and study pseudodifferential operators (including the setting of Riemannian manifold, fractals, graphs ...). Boundedness on $L^p$ for pseudodifferential operators of…
We give a new factorisable ribbon quasi-Hopf algebra U, whose underlying algebra is that of the restricted quantum group for sl(2) at a 2p'th root of unity. The representation category of U is conjecturally ribbon-equivalent to that of the…
We identify the semigroups consisting of bounded composition operators on the Hardy spaces $H^p(\U)$ of the upper half-plane. We show that any such semigroup is strongly continuous on $H^p(\U)$ but not uniformly continuous and we identify…
