We associate to a braided 2-stack ${\cal C}$ a torsor, endowed with a symmetric cube structure (or $\Sigma$-structure), whose triviality is equivalent to the existence on ${\cal C}$ of a fully symmetric monoidal structure. In order to…
We revisit the notion of interacting Frobenius Hopf algebras for ZX-calculus in quantum computing, with focus on allowing the algebras to be noncommutative and coalgebras to be noncocommutative. We introduce the notion of *-structures in…
Garside-theoretical solutions to the conjugacy problem in braid groups depend on the determination of a characteristic subset of the conjugacy class of any given braid, e.g. the sliding circuit set. It is conjectured that, among rigid…
Aizenbud and Lapid recently introduced a binary operation on the crystal graph $B(-\infty)$ associated to a symmetric Cartan matrix. We extend their construction to symmetrizable Cartan matrices.
The root extraction problem in braid groups is the following: given a braid $\beta \in \mathcal{B}_n$ and a number $k\in \mathbb{N}$, find $\alpha\in \mathcal{B}_n$ such that $\alpha^k=\beta$. In the last decades, many cryptosystems such as…
Binary decisions are the simplest form of decisions that are made in our daily lives. Examples include choosing a two-way path in a maze, accepting or declining an offer, etc. These decisions are also made by computers, machines and various…
In this paper we investigate the categories of braided objects, algebras and bialgebras in a given monoidal category, some pairs of adjoint functors between them and their relations. In particular we construct a braided primitive functor…
We present here new mechanisms for hashing data via binary embeddings. Contrary to most of the techniques presented before, the embedding matrix of our mechanism is highly structured. That enables us to perform hashing more efficiently and…
The spin network quantum simulator relies on the su(2) representation ring (or its q-deformed counterpart at q= root of unity) and its basic features naturally include (multipartite) entanglement and braiding. In particular, q-deformed spin…
Let $\mathbf{B}$ be a basis for an $r$-dimensional algebra $A$ over a field or commutative ring with unity. The semifusions of $\mathbf{B}$ are the partitions of $\mathbf{B}$ whose characteristic functions form the basis of a subalgebra of…
Shamir or Blakley secret sharing schemes are used for the authentication process in the studies before, but still secure group authentication and hand-over process remain as challenges in group authentication approaches. In this study, a…
We give a natural problem over input quantum oracles $U$ which cannot be solved with exponentially many black-box queries to $U$ and $U^\dagger$, but which can be solved with constant many queries to $U$ and $U^*$, or $U$ and…
In 1991 the first public key protocol involving automaton groups has been proposed. In this paper we give a survey about algorithmic problems around automaton groups which may have potential applications in cryptography. We then present a…
Pairs of graded graphs, together with the Fomin property of graded graph duality, are rich combinatorial structures providing among other a framework for enumeration. The prototypical example is the one of the Young graded graph of integer…
Let k be a field. Let also (F, G) be a matched pair of groups. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair (\sigma, \tau) of 2-cocycles in order that the crossed product algebra and the crossed coproduct coalgebra…
Exchanging particles on graphs, or more concretely on networks of quantum wires, has been proposed as a means to perform fault tolerant quantum computation. This was inspired by braiding of anyons in planar systems. However, exchanges on a…
In this paper we further analyze modular invariants for subfactors, in particular the structure of the chiral induced systems of M-M morphisms. The relative braiding between the chiral systems restricts to a proper braiding on their…
Let G be a unitary group of a signed-Hermitian form h given over a non-Archimedian local field k of residue characteristic not two. Let V be the vector space on which h is defined. We consider minimal skew-strata, more precisely pairs (b,a)…
In this paper we propose right-angled Artin groups as a platform for secret sharing schemes based on the efficiency (linear time) of the word problem. Inspired by previous work of Grigoriev-Shpilrain in the context of graphs, we define two…
In this paper we consider several classical and novel algorithmic problems for right-angled Artin groups, some of which are closely related to graph theoretic problems, and study their computational complexity. We study these problems with…
