The article is devoted to the describtion of quasitriangular structures (universal R-matrices) on cocommutative Hopf algebras. It is known that such structures are concentrated on finite dimensional Hopf subalgebras. In particular,…

Let g be a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra over a field k of characteristic zero, and let g^* be its dual Lie bialgebra. We prove that the formal Poisson group F[[g^*]] is a braided Hopf algebra. More generally, we prove that if (U_h,R) is…

We axiomatize the defining properties of chiral WZW models. We show that such models are in almost bijective correspondence with pairs $(G,k)$, where $G$ is a connected Lie group and $k \in H^4_+(BG,\mathbb Z)$ is a degree four cohomology…

We investigate the Ward identities of the $\W_{\infty}$ symmetry in the super-Liouville theory coupled to the super-conformal matter of central charge ${\hat c}_M = 1-2(p-q)^2 /pq$. The theory is classified into two chiralities. For the…

Let $Y$ denote a $D$-class symmetric association scheme with $D \geq 3$, and suppose $Y$ is almost-bipartite P- and Q-polynomial. Let $x$ denote a vertex of $Y$ and let $T=T(x)$ denote the corresponding Terwilliger algebra. We prove that…

We explore geometries that give rise to a novel algebraic structure, the Exceptional Drinfeld Algebra, which has recently been proposed as an approach to study generalised U-dualities, similar to the non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie…

Poisson-Lie T-duality in quantum N=2 superconformal WZNW models is considered. The Poisson-Lie T-duality transformation rules of the super-Kac-Moody algebra currents are found from the conjecture that, as in the classical case, the quantum…

The gauge action of the Lie group $G$ on the chiral WZNW phase space ${\cal M}_{\check G}$ of quasiperiodic fields with $\check G$-valued monodromy, where $\check G\subset G$ is an open submanifold, is known to be a Poisson-Lie (PL) action…

We consider Drinfeld-Sokolov bihamiltonian structure associated to a distinguished nilpotent elements of semisimple type and the space of common equilibrium points defined by its leading term. On this space, we construct a local…

Let $ \mathfrak{g} $ be a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra over a field $ K $ of characteristic zero, and let $ \mathfrak{g}^* $ be its dual Lie bialgebra. We prove that the formal Poisson group $ K\big[\big[\mathfrak{g}^*\big]\big] $ is a…

We analyse abelian T-duality for WZW models of simply-connected groups. We demonstrate that the dual theory is a certain orbifold of the original theory, and check that it is conformally invariant. We determine the spectrum of the dual…

In superdimension $(2|2)$ there are only three non-Abelian Lie superalgebras admitting non-degenerate ad-invariant supersymmetric metric, the well-known Lie superalgebra $gl(1|1)$, and two more, $({\C}^3 + \A)$ and $({\C}_0^5 +{\A})$. After…

Let W be an irreducible, finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation provides an discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the so-called Tits form. One can look at the representation modulo the kernel of this form; we…

If g is a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra, one can asks what is the geometrical meaning of its r-matrix. A first answer was given in a paper by Weinstein and Xu, using purely geometrical means: roughly, one has that the formal Poisson group…

The dual Lie bialgebra of a certain ``quasitriangular'' Lie bialgebra structure on the Heisenberg Lie algebra determines a (non-compact) Poisson--Lie group G. The compatible Poisson bracket on G is non-linear, but it can still be realized…

We carry out a Hamiltonian analysis of Poisson-Lie T-duality based on the loop geometry of the underlying phases spaces of the dual sigma and WZW models. Duality is fully characterized by the existence of equivariant momentum maps on the…

We review the basic algebraic properties of the quantum monodromy matrix M in the canonically quantized chiral SU(n)_k Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model with a quantum group symmetry.

We show how to generalize the $SU(2)$ WZW models to allow for open and unoriented sectors. The construction exhibits some novel patterns of Chan-Paton charge assignments and projected spectra that reflect the underlying current algebra.

The aim of this paper is to define and study some quasi-hereditary covers for higher zigzag algebras. We will show how these algebras satisfy three different Koszul properties: they are Koszul in the classical sense, standard Koszul and…

A very specific two-Higgs-doublet extension of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for one generation of quarks is advocated for, in which the two doublets are parity transformed of each other and both isomorphic to the Higgs doublet of the…
