We study the convolution algebra $H^{G\times \CC^{*}}_{*}(Z)$ of $G$-equivariant homology group on the Steinberg variety of type B/C and define an algebra $\widetilde{Y}$ that maps to $H^{G\times \CC^{*}}_{*}(Z)$. The Drinfeld new…
In this paper we investigate the relationship between twisted and untwisted character varieties via a specific instance of the Cohomological Hall algebra for moduli of objects in 3-Calabi-Yau categories introduced by Kontsevich and…
Given a presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ and an $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-monoid $M$, we introduce and classify twisted graded categories, which generalize the Day convolution structure on $\mathrm{Fun}(M,…
Let g be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra and U_h(g) its quantized enveloping algebra. The quantum Weyl group operators of U_h(g) and the universal R-matrices of its Levi subalgebras endow U_h(g) with a natural quasi-Coxeter…
Following Boardman-Vogt, McDuff, Segal, and others, we construct a monoidal topological groupoid or space of finite subsets of the plane, and interpret the Burau representation of knot theory as a topological quantum field theory defined on…
In this note we give explicit isomorphisms of 2-categories between various versions of the categorified quantum group associated to a simply-laced Kac-Moody algebra. These isomorphisms are convenient when working with the categorified…
Outlined in this paper is a description of \emph{equivariance} in the world of 2-dimensional extended topological quantum field theories, under a topological action of compactLie groups. In physics language, I am gauging the theories ---…
The present paper develops a general theory of quantum group analogs of symmetric pairs for involutive automorphism of the second kind of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. The resulting quantum symmetric pairs are right coideal subalgebras…
This is an expository account of the following result: we can construct a group by means of twisted Z_2-graded vectorial bundles which is isomorphic to K-theory twisted by any degree three integral cohomology class.
We study the twisted Hochschild homology of quantum flag manifolds, the twist being the modular automorphism of the Haar state. We prove that every quantum flag manifold admits a non-trivial class in degree two, with an explicit…
Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory…
We present an Eilenberg-Steenrod-like axiomatic framework for equivariant coarse homology and cohomology theories. We also discuss a general construction of such coarse theories from topological ones and the associated transgression maps. A…
Working with group homomorphisms, a construction of manifolds is introduced to preserve homology groups. The construction gives as special cases Qullien's plus construction with handles obtained by Hausmann, the existence of one-sided…
Parsummable categories were introduced by Schwede as input for his global algebraic $K$-theory construction. We prove that their whole homotopy theory with respect to the so-called global equivalences can already be modelled by the more…
In $\rm{GL}_N$, a series of subgroups indexed by $0\leq M\leq N-1$ were noticed by H. Jacquet-I. Piatetski Shapiro-J. Shalika, J. Cogdell, and D. Gaiotto. It was conjectured by D. Gaiotto that the categories of twisted D-modules on the…
In the realm of invertible symmetry, the topological approach based on classifying spaces dominates the classification of 't Hooft anomalies and symmetry protected topological phases. We explore the alternative algebraic approach based on…
In this paper we outline an approach to calculus over quasitriangular Hopf algebras. We study differential operators in the framework of monoidal categories equipped with a braiding or symmetry. To be more concrete, we choose as an example…
We propose a new approach to study coideal algebras. It is well-known that Manin triples (or equivalently Lie bi-algebra structures) are the requirement to deform Lie algebras and to obtain quantum groups. In this paper, introducing some…
Twisted complex $K$-theory can be defined for a space $X$ equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C$^*$-algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of $H^3(X;\Z)$. We…
We re-examine the problem of gauging the Wess-Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We phrase this problem in terms of the equivariant cohomology of the target space and this allows for the homological analysis of the…
