We show that the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(A_{1}^{(1)})$ and the quantum affine superalgebra $U_{q}(C(2)^{(2)})$ admit a unified description. The difference between them consists in the phase factor which is equal to 1 for…

It is a challenging problem to construct an efficient quantum algorithm which can compute the Jones' polynomial for any knot or link obtained from platting or capping of a $2n$-strand braid. We recapitulate the construction of braid-group…

We construct a Dirac operator on the quantum sphere $S^2_q$ which is covariant under the action of $SU_q(2)$. It reduces to Watamuras' Dirac operator on the fuzzy sphere when $q\to 1$. We argue that our Dirac operator may be useful in…

We give here a review of results about double bialgebras, that is to say bialgebras with two coproducts, the first one being a comodule morphism for the coaction induced by the second one. An accent is put on the case of connected…

We construct an abelian category C and exact functors in C which on the Grothendieck group descend to the action of a simply-laced quantum group in its adjoint representation. The braid group action in the adjoint representation lifts to an…

The structure positive of unitary irreducible representations of the noncompact $u_q(2,1)$ quantum algebra that are related to a positive discrete series is examined. With the aid of projection operators for the $su_q(2)$ subalgebra, a…

We compute the braided groups and braided matrices $B(R)$ for the solution $R$ of the Yang-Baxter equation associated to the quantum Heisenberg group. We also show that a particular extension of the quantum Heisenberg group is dual to the…

We consider tensor products of finite-dimensional representations of a coideal subalgebra in $U_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. We present an explicit expression for the dual of the canonical bases through a diagrammatic presentation. We show that…

We define two algebra automorphisms $T_0$ and $T_1$ of the $q$-Onsager algebra $B_c$, which provide an analog of G. Lusztig's braid group action for quantum groups. These automorphisms are used to define root vectors which give rise to a…

We extend Lawrence's representations of the braid groups to relative homology modules, and we show that they are free modules over a Laurent polynomials ring. We define homological operators and we show that they actually provide a…

It is a classical result in representation theory that the braid group $\mathscr{B}_\mathfrak{g}$ of a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ acts on any integrable representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ via triple products of exponentials in its…

We generalize the operadic approach to algebraic quantum field theory [arXiv:1709.08657] to a broader class of field theories whose observables on a spacetime are algebras over any single-colored operad. A novel feature of our framework is…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra in braided category $\cal C$. Crossed modules over $H$ are objects with both module and comodule structures satisfying some comatibility condition. Category ${\cal C}^H_H$ of crossed modules is braided and is…

Quantum algebras U_q(su_n) used as the algebras of flavour symmetry (usually described by SU(n)) to study static properties of hadrons lead to intriguing results. In this contribution we focus on the peculiar properties manifested by…

Let k be a field. Let also (F, G) be a matched pair of groups. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair (\sigma, \tau) of 2-cocycles in order that the crossed product algebra and the crossed coproduct coalgebra…

An algebra is introduced which can be considered as a rank 2 extension of the Askey-Wilson algebra. Relations in this algebra are motivated by relations between coproducts of twisted primitive elements in the two-fold tensor product of the…

Let $H$ be a Hopf quasigroup with bijective antipode and let $Aut_{HQG}(H)$ be the set of all Hopf quasigroup automorphisms of $H$. We introduce a category ${_{H}\mathcal{YDQ}^{H}}(\alpha,\beta)$ with $\alpha,\beta\in Aut_{HQG}(H)$ and…

Given M copies of a q-deformed Weyl or Clifford algebra in the defining representation of a quantum group $G_q$, we determine a prescription to embed them into a unique, inclusive $G_q$-covariant algebra. The different copies are "coupled"…

In this thesis we give obstructions for Drinfel'd twist deformation quantization on several classes of symplectic manifolds. Motivated from this quantization procedure, we further construct a noncommutative Cartan calculus on any braided…

On any Reflection Equation algebra corresponding to a skew-invertible Hecke symmetry (i.e. a special type solution of the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation) we define analogs of the partial derivatives. Together with elements of the initial…
