We study the fusion rings of tilting modules for a quantum group at a root of unity modulo the tensor ideal of negligible tilting modules. We identify them in type A with the combinatorial rings from [KS] and give a similar description of…
In this paper we study the depth of tensor products of homologically finite complexes over commutative Noetherian local rings. As an application of our main result, we determine new conditions under which nonzero tensor products of finitely…
We give a computer-free proof of a theorem of Basak, describing the group generated by 16 complex reflections of order 3, satisfying the braid and commutation relations of the Y555 diagram. The group is the full isometry group of a certain…
Simplicial complexes X provide commutative rings A(X) via the Stanley-Reisner construction. We calculated the cotangent cohomology, i.e., T1 and T2 of A(X) in terms of X. These modules provide information about the deformation theory of the…
In this article, we study the Schur mutiplier of the discrete as well as the finite Heisenberg groups and their t-variants. We describe the representation groups of these Heisenberg groups and through these give a construction of their…
We introduce a representation theory of q-Lie algebras defined earlier in \cite{DG1}, \cite{DG2}, formulated in terms of braided modules. We also discuss other ways to define Lie algebra-like objects related to quantum groups, in…
A residue-theoretic representation is given for massless matter fields in (quotients) of (weighted) \CY\ complete intersection models and the corresponding chiral operators in \LGO{s}. The well known polynomial deformations are thus…
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex vector space and $W\subset \GL(V)$ be a finite complex reflection group. Let $V^{\reg}$ be the complement in $V$ of the reflecting hyperplanes. A classical conjecture predicts that $V^{\reg}$ is a…
Generators and relations are given for the subalgebra of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of the classical groups, where the deformation parameter q is transcendental. This is a ring theoretic formulation of the well…
We investigate sums of exceptional units in a quaternion ring $H(R)$ over a finite commutative ring $R$. We prove that in order to find the number of representations of an element in $H(R)$ as a sum of $k$ exceptional units for some integer…
For each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group and each integer level we construct a modular tensor category from a quotient of a certain subcategory of the category of representations of the corresponding quantum group. We determine…
For finite coverings we elucidate the interaction between transferred Chern classes and Chern classes of transferred bundles. This involves computing the ring structure for the complex oriented cohomology of various homotopy orbit spaces.…
We determine the commutative Schur rings over $S_6$ that contain the sum of all the transpositions in $S_6$. There are eight such types (up to conjugacy), of which four have the set of all the transpositions as a principal set of the Schur…
We describe the structure of the irreducible representations of crossed products of unital C*-algebras by actions of finite groups in terms of irreducible representations of the C*-algebras on which the groups act. We then apply this…
Complex reflection groups comprise a generalization of Weyl groups of semisimple Lie algebras, and even more generally of finite Coxeter groups. They have been heavily studied since their introduction and complete classification in the…
We calculate the higher topological complexity TC$_s$ for the complements of reflection arrangements, in other words for the pure Artin type groups of all finite complex reflection groups. In order to do that we introduce a simple…
We give a survey of some recent results on the fusion semirings of compact quantum groups (computations of and applications to discrete quantum groups) by using the following simplifying terminology: we say that a compact quantum group G is…
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing tensor products of certain singular unitary representations of a semisimple Lie group G. Using explicit models for these representations (constructed earlier by one of us) we show that…
Bismut and Zhang computed the ratio of the Ray-Singer and the combinatorial torsions corresponding to non-unitary representations of the fundamental group. In this note we show that for representations which belong to a connected component…
In an earlier paper, we defined and studied q-analogues of the Stirling numbers of both types for the Coxeter group of type B. In the present work, we show how this approach can be extended to all irreducible complex reflection groups G.…
