We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular,…
We show that braided, sylleptic and symmetric monoidal bicategories are precisely the $\mathsf{E}_k$-monoids in the cartesian monoidal $(\infty,1)$-category of bicategories for respective integers $k$. To manage the underlying computations,…
We define the notion of braided Coxeter category, which is informally a tensor category carrying compatible, commuting actions of a generalised braid group B_W and Artin's braid groups B_n on the tensor powers of its objects. The data which…
This paper is concerned with a covering problem of Euclidean space by a particular arrangement of cones that are not necessarily full and are allowed to overlap. The problem provides an equivalent geometric reformulation of the solvability…
In this article we construct a large family of $R$-matrices for various extensions of small quantum groups by grouplike elements. The extensions are in correspondence to lattices between root and weight lattice and admit $R$-matrices in…
Similar pictures appear in various branches of mathematics. Sometimes this similarity gives rise to deep theorems. Mentioning such a similarity between hexagonal tilings, cubes in 3-space, configurations of lines and braid groups, we prove…
Starting with the braided quantum group $\operatorname{SU}_q(2)$ for a complex deformation parameter $q$ we perform the construction of the quotient $\operatorname{SU}_q(2)/\mathbb{T}$ which serves as a model of a quantum sphere. Then we…
Virtual knots arise in the study of Gauss diagrams and Vassiliev invariants of usual knots. Virtual braids correspond naturally to virtual knots. We consider the group of virtual braids on n strings VB_n and its Burau representation, in…
A noncommutative-geometric formalism of framed principal bundles is sketched, in a special case of quantum bundles (over quantum spaces) possessing classical structure groups. Quantum counterparts of torsion operators and Levi-Civita type…
There are theories of coverings of $C^*$-algebras which can be included into a following list: coverings of commutative $C^*$-algebras, coverings of $C^*$-algebras of groupoids and foliations, coverings of noncommutative tori, the double…
We write the fermionic $q$-Fock space representation of $U_q(\hat{sl_n})$ as an infinite extended braided tensor product of finite-dimensional fermionic $U_q(sl_n)$-quantum planes or exterior algebras. Using braided geometrical techniques…
Lie bialgebra structures on $e(2)$ are classified. For two Lie bialgebra structures which are not coboundaries (i.e. which are not determined by a classical $r$-matrix) we solve the cocycle condition, find the Lie-Poisson brackets and…
Braided algebras are associative algebras endowed with a Yang-Baxter operator that satisfies certain compatibility conditions involving the multiplication. Along with Hochschild cohomology of algebras, there is also a notion of Yang-Baxter…
It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…
We describe a new technique to obtain representations of the braid group B_n from the R-matrix of a quantum deformed algebra of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator. We consider the action of the R-matrix not on the tensor product of…
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…
We construct a family of $q$ deformations of $E(2)$ group for nonzero complex parameters $|q|<1$ as locally compact braided quantum groups over the circle group $\mathbb{T}$ viewed as a quasitriangular quantum group with respect to the…
Fully braided analog of Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan construction of quasitriangular bialgebra $A(X,R)$ is proposed. For given pairing $C$ factor-algebra $A(X,R;C)$ is a dual quantum braided group. Corresponding inhomogeneous quantum group…
We define a finite-dimensional cubic quotient of the group algebra of the braid group, endowed with a (essentially unique) Markov trace which affords the Links-Grould invariant of knots and links. We investigate several of its properties,…
If $\Gamma $ is a group, then braided $\Gamma $-crossed modules are classified by braided strict $\Gamma $-graded categorial groups. The Schreier theory obtained for $\Gamma $-module extensions of the type of an abelian $\Gamma $-crossed…
