The principal aim of this article is to introduce and study n-valued quandles and n-corack bialgebras. We elaborate the basic methods of this theory, reproduce the coset construction known in the theory of n-valued groups. We also consider…
This paper has partially a novel and partially a survey character. We start with a short review of rack (two term) homology of self distributive algebraic structures (shelves) and their connections to knot theory. We concentrate on a…
In this paper we consider families of mutually commuting endomorphisms of the generalized tangent bundle. We identify natural tensorial constraints extending the notion of a generalized K\"ahler structure to endomorphisms that are not…
Let $Y$ be a pointed space and let $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ be the group of based self-equivalences of $Y^r$, $r\geq 2$. For $Y$ a homotopy commutative $H$-group we construct a subgroup $\mathcal E_{\mathrm{Mat}}(Y^r)$ of $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ which…
A categorical principal bundle is a structure comprised of categories that is analogous to a classical principal bundle; examples arise from geometric contexts involving bundles over path spaces. We show how a categorical principal bundle…
A quandle equipped with a good involution is referred to as symmetric. It is known that the cohomology of symmetric quandles gives rise to strong cocycle invariants for classical and surface links, even when they are not necessarily…
In this paper the relation between the choice of a differential structure and a smooth connection in the tangential bundle is discussed. For the case of an exotic $S^7$ one obtains corrections to the curvature after the change of the…
We define a quandle variety as an irreducible algebraic variety $Q$ endowed with an algebraically defined quandle operation $\rhd$. It can also be seen as an analogue of a generalized affine symmetric space or a regular $s$-manifold in…
In the paper we describe the class of principal quandles and show that connected quandles can be decomposed as a disjoint union of principal quandles. We also prove that simple affine quandles are finite and they can be characterized among…
We retrieve the graded commutative algebra structure of rack and quandle cohomology by purely algebraic means.
We construct and study pushforwards of categorical connections on categorical principal bundles. Applying this construction to the case of decorated path spaces in principal bundles, we obtain a transformation of classical connections that…
In this paper we describe methods for computing rack and quandle cohomology. We illustrate these methods by completely determining the cohomology of prime dihedral quandles.
We construct noncommutative gauge theories based on the notion of the Weyl bundle, which appears in Fedosov's construction of deformation quantization on an arbitrary symplectic manifold. These correspond to D-brane worldvolume theories in…
This talk introduces a Cartan-geometric framework for generalised geometries governed by a differential graded Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Cartan geometry, the tangent bundle is extended and qu both a global duality group and a…
Semiclassical systems being symmetric under Lie group are studied. A state of a semiclassical system may be viewed as a set (X,f) of a classical state X and a quantum state f in the external classical background X. Therefore, the set of all…
An approach to construction of a quantum group gauge theory based on the quantum group generalisation of fibre bundles is reviewed.
A bundle gerbe is constructed from an oriented smooth vector bundle of even rank with a fiberwise inner product, over a compact connected orientable smooth manifold with Riemannian metric. From a trivialization of the bundle gerbe is…
Galois comodules of a coring are studied. The conditions for a simple comodule to be a Galois comodule are found. A special class of Galois comodules termed principal comodules is introduced. These are defined as Galois comodules that are…
We consider groupoids in the category of principal bundles, which we call principal bundles (PB) groupoids. Inspired by work by Th. Nikolaus and K. Waldorf, we generalise bundle gerbes over manifolds to bundle gerbes over groupoids and…
We develop the concept of a double (more generally n-tuple) principal bundle departing from a compatibility condition for a principal action of a Lie group on a groupoid.
