We clarify the relation between the approach to $q$-Minkowski space of Carow-Watamura et al. with an approach based on the idea of $2\times 2$ braided Hermitean matrices. The latter are objects like super-matrices but with Bose-Fermi…
We develop a general framework for quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces, i.e., spaces with quantum group symmetry. We use the path integral approach to obtain expressions for $n$-point functions. Perturbation theory leads us to…
$\kappa$-deformed commutation relation between quantum operators is constructed via abelian twist deformation in $\kappa$-Minkowski spacetime. The commutation relation is written in terms of universal $R$-matrix satisfying braided…
We construct a category of flat vector bundles on an elliptic curve. It arises in the representation theory of quantum affine algebras and carries meromorphic braided structure with singularities on the diagonal of the square of the curve.
In topological quantum computation, quantum information is stored in states which are intrinsically protected from decoherence, and quantum gates are carried out by dragging particle-like excitations (quasiparticles) around one another in…
We propose a new non-commutative generalization of the representation variety and the character variety of a knot group. Our strategy is to reformulate the construction of the algebra of functions on the space of representations in terms of…
We briefly report on our result that the braided tensor product algebra of two module algebras $A_1,A_2$ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$ is equal to the ordinary tensor product algebra of $H_1$ with a subalgebra isomorphic to $A_2$…
Quantum Lorentz groups H admitting quantum Minkowski space V are selected. Natural structure of a quantum space G = V x H is introduced, defining a quantum group structure on G only for triangular H (q=1). We show that it defines a braided…
This is the first paper in a series where we generalize the Categorical Quantum Mechanics program (due to Abramsky, Coecke, et al) to braided systems. In our view a uniform description of quantum information for braided systems has not yet…
A definition of a quantum vertex algebra, which is a deformation of a vertex algebra, was proposed by Etingof and Kazhdan in 1998. In a nutshell, a quantum vertex algebra is a braided state-field correspondence which satisfies associativity…
We show that the action of the special conformal transformations of the usual (undeformed) conformal group is the $q\to 1$ scaling limit of the braided adjoint action or $R$-commutator of $q$-Minkowski space on itself. We also describe the…
The connection between braided Hopf algebra structure and the quantum group covariance of deformed oscillators is constructed explicitly. In this context we provide deformations of the Hopf algebra of functions on SU(1,1). Quantum subgroups…
We study homological representations of mapping class groups, including the braid groups. These arise from the twisted homology of certain configuration spaces, and come in many different flavours. Our goal is to give a unified general…
Rota-Baxter algebras and the closely related dendriform algebras have important physics applications, especially to renormalization of quantum field theory. Braided structures provide effective ways of quantization such as for quantum…
Extending the methods from our previous work on quantum knots and quantum graphs, we describe a general procedure for quantizing a large class of mathematical structures which includes, for example, knots, graphs, groups, algebraic…
We present an explicit form of braided symmetries of the quantum spheres, by introducing a braided quantum Hopf algebra $\cU_{q, \phi}$ and demonstrating that they are braided Hopf modules over this braided Hopf algebra. To obtain this…
This is the second part of the paper. Results of the first part about crossed modules are applied here to study of quantum groups in braided categories. Correct cross product in the class of quantum braided groups is built. Criterion when…
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…
Braiding operators corresponding to the third Reidemeister move in the theory of knots and links are realized in terms of parametrized unitary matrices for all dimensions. Two distinct classes are considered. Their (non-local) unitary…
Braided non-commutative differential geometry is studied. In particular we investigate the theory of (bicovariant) differential calculi in braided abelian categories. Previous results on crossed modules and Hopf bimodules in braided…
