In this article we use a parametrized version of the FRT construction to construct two new coquasitriangular Hopf algebras. The first one, $\widehat{SL_q(2)}$, is a quantization of the coordinate ring on affine $SL(2)$. We show that there…
In order to clarify the mechanism of quark confinement in the Yang-Mills theory with mass gap, we propose to investigate the massive Yang-Mills model, namely, Yang-Mills theory with ``a gauge-invariant gluon mass term'', which is to be…
We present a new application of affine Lie algebras to massive quantum field theory in 2 dimensions, by investigating the $q\to 1$ limit of the q-deformed affine $\hat{sl(2)}$ symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory, this limit occurring at the…
We analyze free energy and specific heat for fermions interacting with gapless bosons at a quantum-critical point (QCP) in a metal. We use the Luttinger-Ward-Eliashberg formula for the free energy in the normal state, which includes…
In this paper, we address the problem of Yang-Baxter integrability of doubled quantum circuit of qubits (spins 1/2) with open boundary conditions where the two circuit replicas are only coupled at the left or right boundary. We investigate…
We provide explicit presentations of members of a suite of R matrices arising from the (\dot{0}_m|\alpha) representations of the quantum superalgebras U_q[gl(m|1)]. Our algorithm constructs both trigonometric and quantum R matrices; all of…
We discuss a two dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory coupled to massive adjoint fermions for different worlds classified by the integer k=0,1,...N-1. We study the fermion condensate for these unconnected worlds as a function of the…
Recently multiple families of spin chain models were found, which have a free fermionic spectrum,even though they are not solvable by a Jordan-Wigner transformation. Instead, the free fermions emerge as a result of a rather intricate…
Coupling quantum field theory (QFT) \!-\! even free QFT \!-\! to gravity leads to well-known problems. In particular, the stress tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$ (gravity's source) and its correlators typically diverge in the UV, creating a conflict…
We give a realization of the quantum affine Lie superalgebras U_q(A(M,N))^(1) in terms of anyons defined on a one or two-dimensional lattice, the deformation parameter q being related to the statistical parameter $\nu$ of the anyons by q =…
We consider the quantum vertex algebra associated with the double Yangian in type A as defined by Etingof and Kazhdan. We show that its center is a commutative associative algebra and construct algebraically independent families of…
Quantum and q-deformed algebras find their application not only in mathematical physics and field theoretical context, but also in phenomenology of particle properties. We describe (i) the use of quantum algebras U_q(su_n) corresponding to…
We use F-theory to study gauge algebra preserving transitions of 6d supergravity theories that are connected by superconformal points. While the vector multiplets remain unchanged, the hyper- and tensor multiplet sectors are modified. In 6d…
We introduce a notion of quasimorphism between two arbitrary groups, generalizing the classical notion of Ulam. We then define and study the category of homogeneous quasigroups, whose objects are groups and whose morphisms are equivalence…
The recently introduced two-parameter eight-state $U_q[gl(3|1)]$ supersymmetric fermion model is extended to include boundary terms. Nine classes of boundary conditions are constructed, all of which are shown to be integrable via the graded…
The unitary braiding operators describing topological entanglements can be viewed as universal quantum gates for quantum computation. With the help of the Brylinskis's theorem, the unitary solutions of the quantum Yang--Baxter equation can…
Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be homogeneous trees of even degree $\ge 4$. A BM group $\Gamma$ is a torsion free discrete subgroup of $\aut (T_1) \times \aut (T_2)$ which acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $T_1 \times T_2$. This…
Following some motivating comments on large N two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, we discuss techniques for large N group representation theory, using quantum mechanics on the group manifold U(N), its equivalence to a quasirelativistic…
We give a two-parameter quantum deformation of the exterior plane and its differential calculus without the use of any R-matrix and relate it to the differential calculus with the R-matrix. We prove that there are two types of solutions of…
