We review the categorical representation of a Kac-Moody algebra on unipotent representations of finite unitary groups in non-defining characteristic given by the authors. Then, we extend this construction to finite reductive groups of types…
This article provides an alternate characterization of dagger categories, which are central to the study of categorical quantum mechanics, in terms of inner product categories. An inner product category is an "achiral involutive" category…
Inspired by a previous work of Nakajima, we consider perverse sheaves over acyclic graded quiver varieties and study the Fourier-Sato-Deligne transform from a representation theoretic point of view. We obtain deformed monoidal…
We investigate the concept of definable, or inner, automorphism in the logical setting of partial Horn theories. The central technical result extends a syntactical characterization of the group of such automorphisms (called the covariant…
In the framework of quantum group theory we obtain a noncommutative analog for the algebra of functions in a bounded symmetric domain, endowed with a whole symmetry. Also we provide a construction for its faithfull irreducible…
A new class of noncommutative $k$-algebras (for $k$ an algebraically closed field) is defined and shown to contain some important examples of quantum groups. To each such algebra, a first order theory is assigned describing models of a…
We construct quantum group-valued canonical connections on quantum homogeneous spaces, including a q-deformed Dirac monopole on the quantum sphere of Podles quantum differential coming from the 3-D calculus of Woronowicz on $SU_q(2)$ . The…
The $\imath$quantum groups have two realizations: one via the $\imath$Hall algebras and the other via the quantum Grothendieck rings of quiver varieties, as developed by the first author and Wang. The isoclasses of perverse sheaves provide…
Mathematical core of quantum mechanics is the theory of unitary representations of symmetries of physical systems. We argue that quantum behavior is a natural result of extraction of "observable" information about systems containing…
This is a self-contained review on the theory of quantum group and its applications to modern physics. A brief introduction is given to the Yang-Baxter equation in integrable quantum field theory and lattice statistical physics. The quantum…
Group representations play a central role in theoretical physics. In particular, in quantum mechanics unitary --- or, in general, projective unitary --- representations implement the action of an abstract symmetry group on physical states…
A discrete group $G$ is called W*-superrigid if the group $G$ can be entirely recovered from the ambient group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$. We introduce an analogous notion for discrete quantum groups. We prove that this strengthened quantum…
Recently the authors initiated an $\imath$Hall algebra approach to (universal) $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs. In this paper we construct and study BGP type reflection functors which lead to isomorphisms of the…
In this paper is discussed description of some algebraic structures in quantum theory by using formal recursive constructions with "complex Poincar\'e group" ISO(4,C).
We consider the {\it concentration functions problem} for discrete quantum groups; we prove that if $\mathbb{G}$ is a discrete quantum group, and $\mu$ is an irreducible state in $l^1(\mathbb{G})$, then the convolution powers $\mu^n$,…
We first prove that the K-theoretic Hall algebra of a preprojective algebra of affine type is isomorphic to the positive half of a quantum toroidal quantum group. An essential step consists to deform the K-theoretic Hall algebra so that the…
In this work, the notion of a quantum inverse semigroup is introduced as a linearized generalization of inverse semigroups. Beyond the algebra of an inverse semigroup, which is the natural example of a quantum inverse semigroup, several…
We establish a Drinfeld type new presentation for the $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs of split affine ADE type, which includes the $q$-Onsager algebra as the rank 1 case. This presentation takes a form which can…
We construct, using the quantum dilogarithm, a series of *-representations of quantized cluster varieties. This includes a construction of infinite dimensional unitary projective representations of their discrete symmetry groups - the…
We extend the $\imath$Hall algebra realization of $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs, which establishes an injective homomorphism from the universal $\imath$quantum group of Kac-Moody type to the $\imath$Hall…
