When Daan Krammer and Stephen Bigelow independently proved that braid groups are linear, they used the Lawrence-Krammer-Bigelow representation for generic values of its variables q and t. The t variable is closely connected to the…
Representations of small quantum groups $u_q({\mathfrak{g}})$ at a root of unity and their extensions provide interesting tensor categories, that appear in different areas of algebra and mathematical physics. There is an ansatz by Lusztig…
We introduce the free quantum noncommutative fields as described by braided tensor products. The multiplication of such fields is decomposed into three operations, describing the multiplication in the algebra M of functions on…
We propose an infinitesimal counterpart to the notion of braided category. The corresponding infinitesimal braidings are natural transformations which are compatible with an underlying braided monoidal structure in the sense that they…
We show that the algebra of the bicovariant differential calculus on a quantum group can be understood as a projection of the cross product between a braided Hopf algebra and the quantum double of the quantum group. The resulting super-Hopf…
We construct an invariant of closed oriented $3$-manifolds using a finite dimensional, involutory, unimodular and counimodular Hopf algebra $H$. We use the framework of normal o-graphs introduced by R. Benedetti and C. Petronio, in which…
For a given quasitriangular Hopf algebra $\Ha$ we study relations between the braided group $\tilde \Ha^*$ and Drinfeld's twist. We show that the braided bialgebra structure of $\tilde \Ha^*$ is naturally described by means of twisted…
We define an action of the braid group of a simple Lie algebra on the space of imaginary roots in the corresponding quantum affine algebra. We then use this action to determine an explicit condition for a tensor product of arbitrary…
Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…
The machinery of braided geometry introduced previously is used now to construct the $\epsilon$ `totally antisymmetric tensor' on a general braided vector space determined by R-matrices. This includes natural $q$-Euclidean and $q$-Minkowski…
In this paper we construct a new quantum double by endowing the l-state bosonalgebra with a non-trivial Hopf algebra structure,which is not a q-deformation of the Lie algebra or superalgebra.The universal R-matrix for the Yang-Baxter…
Loop braid groups characterize the exchange of extended objects, namely loops, in three dimensional space generalizing the notion of braid groups that describe the exchange of point particles in two dimensional space. Their interest in…

We prove a variety results on tensor product factorizations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras (more generally Hopf algebras satisfying chain conditions in suitable braided categories). The results are analogs of well-known results on…
We first construct an action of the extended double affine braid group $\mathcal{\ddot{B}}$ on the quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g}_{\mathrm{tor}})$ in untwisted and twisted types. As a crucial step in the proof, we obtain a…
The intertwiner of the quantized coordinate ring $A_q(sl_3)$ is known to yield a solution to the tetrahedron equation. By evaluating their $n$-fold composition with special boundary vectors we generate series of solutions to the Yang-Baxter…
We formulate quantum group Riemannian geometry as a gauge theory of quantum differential forms. We first develop (and slightly generalise) classical Riemannian geometry in a self-dual manner as a principal bundle frame resolution and a dual…
Given M copies of a q-deformed Weyl or Clifford algebra in the defining representation of a quantum group $G_q$, we determine a prescription to embed them into a unique, inclusive $G_q$-covariant algebra. The different copies are "coupled"…
We show that the differential complex $\Omega_{B}$ over the braided matrix algebra $BM_{q}(N)$ represents a covariant comodule with respect to the coaction of the Hopf algebra $\Omega_{A}$ which is a differential extension of $GL_{q}(N)$.…
This paper is the sequel to [HP1] to study the deformed structures and representations of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ associated to the finite dimensional simple Lie algebras $\mg$. An equivalence of the braided…
