We construct a finite dimensional quiver algebra from the non-simply laced type $B$ Dynkin diagram, which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This leads to a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group $\mathcal{A}(B)$, acting…

The pair consisting of a quantum group and its corresponding coideal subalgebra, known as a quantum symmetric pair, was developed independently by M. Noumi and G. Letzter through different approaches. The purpose of this paper is threefold.…

We compute the representation-theoretic rank of a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ and of its quantum double $D(H)$, within the rigid braided category of finite dimensional left $D(H)$-modules.

We introduce $*$-structures on braided groups and braided matrices. Using this, we show that the quantum double $D(U_q(su_2))$ can be viewed as the quantum algebra of observables of a quantum particle moving on a hyperboloid in q-Minkowski…

This is the third in a series of papers which give an explicit description of the reconstruction algebra as a quiver with relations; these algebras arise naturally as geometric generalizations of preprojective algebras of extended Dynkin…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi(G)=\{p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k\}$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ for which $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_k$. The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of $G$, denoted ${\rm GK}(G)$, is defined as follows: its vertex set is…

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of $\mathcal{D}(G)$ explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all…

We consider a class of quasi-Hopf algebras which we call \emph{generalized twisted quantum doubles}. They are abelian extensions $H = \mb{C}[\bar{G}] \bowtie \mb{C}[G]$ ($G$ is a finite group and $\bar{G}$ a homomorphic image), possibly…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic $p$, and let $D_n$ be the dihedral group of order $2n$ such that $p\mid 2n$. Let $D(kD_n)$ denote the quantum double of the group algebra $kD_n$. In this paper, we describe the…

Let $C \s \pr^2$ be an irreducible plane curve whose dual $C^* \s \pr^{2*}$ is an immersed curve which is neither a conic nor a nodal cubic. The main result states that the Poincar\'e group $\pi_1(\pr^2 \se C)$ contains a free group with…

By analogy with the classical construction due to Forrest, Samei and Spronk we associate to every compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ a completely contractive Banach algebra $A_\Delta(\mathbb{G})$, which can be viewed as a deformed Fourier…

Unitary representations of kinematical symmetry groups of quantum systems are fundamental in quantum theory. We propose in this paper its generalization to quantum kinematical groups. Using the method, proposed by us in a recent paper…

This paper exposes the fundamental role that the Drinfel'd double $\dkg$ of the group ring of a finite group $G$ and its twists $\dbkg$, $\beta \in Z^3(G,\uk)$ as defined by Dijkgraaf--Pasquier--Roche play in stringy orbifold theories and…

One can geometrically engineer supersymmetric field theories theories by placing D-branes at or near singularities. The opposite process is described, where one can reconstruct the singularities from quiver theories. The description is in…

For the class of quantum integrable models generated from the $q-$Onsager algebra, a basis of bispectral multivariable $q-$orthogonal polynomials is exhibited. In a first part, it is shown that the multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials…

We study the relation between two special classes of Riemannian Lie groups $G$ with a left-invariant metric $g$: The Einstein Lie groups, defined by the condition $\operatorname{Ric}_g=cg$, and the geodesic orbit Lie groups, defined by the…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…

We construct a model unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics in a broader structure of noncommutative geometry. The geometry in question is that of a transformation groupoid given by the action of a finite group G on a space E. We…
