In this paper we introduce a new kind of topological space, called 'structured space', which locally resembles various kinds of algebraic structures. This can be useful, for instance, to locally study a space that cannot be globally endowed…
We introduce a homology theory whose Euler characteristics counts ASD bundles over four dimensional co-associative submanifolds in (almost) G_2 manifolds. As a TQFT, in relative situations, we have the Fukaya-Floer category of Lagrangians…
We introduce the framework of Hopf algebra field theory (HAFT) which generalizes the notion of group field theory to the quantum group (Hopf algebra) case. We focus in particular on the 3d case and show how the HAFT we considered is…
We construct a four dimensional topological Quantum Field Theory from a modular tensor category. We complete the proof in the case of SU(2)q at a root of unity. Our construction may be important in the physical interpretation of the Chern…
We construct 3-dimensional once-Extended Topological Quantum Field Theories (ETQFTs for short) out of (possibly non-semisimple) modular categories, and we explicitly identify linear categories and functors in their image. The circle…
The representations of the observable algebra of a low dimensional quantum field theory form the objects of a braided tensor category. The search for gauge symmetry in the theory amounts to finding an algebra which has the same…
We discuss the appearance of fractional topological phases on cyclic evolutions of entangled qudits. The original result reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 240503 (2011) is detailed and extended to qudits of different dimensions.…
The text is devoted to explanation of the concept of Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT), its application to homological algebra and to the relation with the theory of good section from K.Saito's theory of Primitive forms. TQFT is…
In this paper we discuss some questions about geometry over the field with one element, motivated by the properties of algebraic varieties that arise in perturbative quantum field theory. We follow the approach to F1-geometry based on…
We review some important algebraic structures which appear in a priori remote areas of Mathematics, such as control theory, numerical methods for solving differential equations, and renormalization in Quantum Field Theory. Starting with…
A general framework for obtaining certain types of contracted and centrally extended algebras is presented. The whole process relies on the existence of quadratic algebras, which appear in the context of boundary integrable models.
This is an introduction for algebraists to the theory of algebras and Hopf algebras in braided categories. Such objects generalise super-algebras and super-Hopf algebras, aswell as colour-Lie algebras. Basic facts about braided categories C…
We give arguments for the necessity to employ Quantum Clifford Hopf Gebras in quantum field theory. The role of the antipode is examined, Feynman diagrams are re-interpreted as tangles of graphical calculus. Regularization due to the design…
The object of this paper is to define a subcategory of the category of 3-cobordisms to which invariants of rational homology 3-spheres should generalize. We specify the notion of Topological Quantum Field Theory (in the sense of Atiyah) to…
We study surface defects in three-dimensional topological quantum field theories which separate different theories of Reshetikhin-Turaev type. Based on the new notion of a Frobenius algebra over two commutative Frobenius algebras, we…
In this review, we summarize the main ideas of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory, which is a rigorous framework combining some of the Haag-Kastler axioms with perturbative methods involving formal power series. It allows for the…
The elements of the wide class of quantum universal enveloping algebras are prooved to be Hopf algebras $H$ with spectrum $Q(H)$ in the category of groups. Such quantum algebras are quantum groups for simply connected solvable Lie groups…
We show that the process of renormalization encapsules a Hopf algebra structure in a natural manner. This sheds light on the recently proposed connection between knots and renormalization theory.
Topological orders are a prominent paradigm for describing quantum many-body systems without symmetry-breaking orders. We present a topological quantum field theoretical (TQFT) study on topological orders in five-dimensional spacetime…
Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group G by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a twisted double method) a quasitriangular Hopf G-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular…
