In his work on P-partitions, Stembridge defined the algebra of peak functions Pi, which is both a subalgebra and a retraction of the algebra of quasi-symmetric functions. We show that Pi is closed under coproduct, and therefore a Hopf…

In a previous paper by the author a universal ring of invariants for algebraic structures of a given type was constructed. This ring is a polynomial algebra that is generated by certain trace diagrams. It was shown that this ring admits the…

Rational Hopf algebras (certain quasitriangular weak quasi-Hopf $^*$-algebras) are expected to describe the quantum symmetry of rational field theories. In this paper methods are developped which allow for a classification of all rational…

We find a self-dual noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebra acting as a universal symmetry on the modules over inner Frobenius algebras of modular categories (as used in two dimensional boundary conformal field theory) similar to…

We construct the general supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on a semi-Hopf algebra which has a more general structure than a Hopf algebra. As a result we have an extended supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group, i.e.,…

We study the de-equivariantization of a Hopf algebra by an affine group scheme and we apply Tannakian techniques in order to realize it as the tensor category of comodules over a coquasi-bialgebra. As an application we construct a family of…

We use Hopf algebroids to formulate a notion of a noncommutative and non-cocommutative Hopf 2-algebra. We show how these arise from a bicrossproduct Hopf algebra with Peiffer identities. In particular, we show that for a Hopf algebra $H$…

We get new Hopf algebras (HA): 1. A wealth of quotient HA's of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer HA (the Loday-Ronco HA being a special case). They consist of the permutations avoiding an {\it arbitrary} set of permutations without global descents,…

We classify combinatorial Dyson-Schwinger equations giving a Hopf subalgebra of the Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs of the considered Quantum Field Theory. We first treat single equations with an arbitrary number (eventually infinite) of…

Given a Hopf algebra H, we study modules and bimodules over an algebra A that carry an H-action, as well as their morphisms and connections. Bimodules naturally arise when considering noncommutative analogues of tensor bundles. For…

Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbbm{k}$ of characteristic $p>\dim_{\mathbbm{k}}(H)^{1/2}$. We show that the antipode $S$ of $H$ satisfies the equality $S^2(h)=\mathbf{u}h\mathbf{u}^{-1}$, where…

This paper gives a complete selfcontained proof of our result announced in hep-th/9909126 showing that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of extraction of finite values based on…

We define a class of algebras which are distinguished by a PBW property and an orthogonality condition, and which we call Hopf-Hecke algebras, since they generalize the Drinfeld Hecke algebras defined by Drinfeld. In the course of studying…

The algebra H of the dual -1 Hahn polynomials is derived and shown to arise in the Clebsch-Gordan problem of sl_{-1}(2). The dual -1 Hahn polynomials are the bispectral polynomials of a discrete argument obtained from a q-> -1 limit of the…

We investigate a generalization of Hopf algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_{q}(2)$ by weakening the invertibility of the generator $K$, i.e. exchanging its invertibility $KK^{-1}=1$ to the regularity $K\overline{K}K=K$. This leads to a weak Hopf…

We explore the connection between the notion of Hopf category and the categorification of the infinite dimensional Heisenberg algebra via graphical calculus proposed by M.Khovanov. We show that the existence of a Hopf structure on a…

We describe a few properties of the non semi-simple associative algebra H = M_3 + (M_{2|1}(Lambda2))_0, where Lambda2 is the Grassmann algebra with two generators. We show that H is not only a finite dimensional algebra but also a (non…

Using cocommutativity of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions, certain skew Schur functions are proved to be equal. Some of these skew Schur function identities are new.

We study the diagram alphabet of knot moves associated with the character rings of certain matrix groups. The primary object is the Hopf algebra Char-GL of characters of the finite dimensional polynomial representations of the complex group…

Let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. We study complete intersections in a spherical homogeneous space G/H defined by a generic collection of sections from G-invariant linear systems. Whenever nonempty, all such complete…
