We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}G)$, the unit group of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$, either satisfies Kazhdan's property (T) or is, up to commensurability, a non-trivial amalgamated product, in case $G$ is a finite group…

In this paper we study modular $G$-equivariant fusion categories and their extended Verlinde algebras. We dicuss settings in which fusion rules are diagonalizable. In particular, when $G = \mathbb{Z}_{2}$ we generalize the Verlinde formula.…

M\"uger proved in 2003 that the center of a spherical fusion category C of non-zero dimension over an algebraically closed field is a modular fusion category whose dimension is the square of that of C. We generalize this theorem to a…

Unitary fusion categories (UFCs) have gained increased attention due to emerging connections with quantum physics. We consider a fusion rule of the form $q\otimes q \cong \mathbf{1}\oplus\bigoplus^k_{i=1}x_{i}$ in a UFC $\mathcal{C}$, and…

In the same way the folding of the Dynkin diagram of A_{2n} (resp. A_{2n-1}) produces the B_n (resp. C_n) Dynkin diagram, the symmetry algebra W of a Toda model based on B_n (resp. C_n) can be seen as resulting from the folding of a…

A $G$-graded extension of a fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ yields a categorical action of $G$ on the center $Z(\mathcal C)$. If the extension admits a spherical structure, we provide a method for recovering its fusion rules in terms of the…

We try to write (generic) elements of classical simple Lie algebras as sums of as few elements of the orbit C of long root vectors as possible. If the Lie algebra in question is sl_n or sp_n, then C consists of all rank 1 matrices in the…

We investigate the problem of defining group or loop structures on spheres, where by ''sphere'' we mean the level set q(x) = c of a general K-valued quadratic form q, for an invertible scalar c. When K is a field and q non-degenerate, then…

We introduce a class of modules over Kac-Moody superalgebras; we call these modules snowflake. These modules are characterized by invariance property of their characters with respect to a certain subgroup of the Weyl group. Examples of…

We analyze loop-induced group-like symmetries in theories where fields are labeled by basis elements of a fusion algebra constructed from the conjugacy classes of finite groups. Although the fusion rules for conjugacy classes are in general…

Let a compact group G act on real or complex C*-algebras A and B, with A separable and B sigma-unital. We express the G-equivariant Kasparov groups KK_n(A,B) by algebraic K-groups of a certain additive category.

Let $k$ be a number field, $\mathbf{G}$ an algebraic group defined over $k$, and $\mathbf{G}(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points in $\mathbf{G}.$ We determine the set of functions on $\mathbf{G}(k)$ which are of positive type and…

We investigate the notion of $k$-transitivity for the quantum permutation groups $G\subset S_N^+$, with a brief review of the known $k=1,2$ results, and with a study of what happens at $k\geq3$. We discuss then matrix modelling questions…

Let $\G$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of an affine building $\cB$ of type $\wt A_2$. If $\G$ acts freely on the vertices of $\cB$ with finitely many orbits, and if $\Omega$ is the (maximal) boundary of $\cB$, then…

We compare the K-theories of symplectic quotients with respect to a compact connected Lie group and with respect to its maximal torus, and in particular we give a method for computing the former in terms of the latter. More specifically,…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra, and $G$ a finite automorphism group of $V$ such that $V^G$ is regular. The definition of entries in $S$-matrix on $V^G$ is discussed, and then is extended. The set of $V^G$-modules can be…

Gauging a finite group 0-form symmetry $G$ of a quantum field theory (QFT) results in a QFT with a Rep$(G)$ symmetry implemented by Wilson lines. The group $G$ determines the fusion of Wilson lines. However, in general, the fusion rules of…

Verlinde's formula for rational vertex operator algebras computes the fusion rules from the modular transformations of characters. In the non semisimple and non finite case, a logarithmic Verlinde formula has been proposed together with…

Let G be a split Kac-Moody group over a non-archimedean local field. We define a completion of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of G. We determine its center and prove that it is isomorphic to the spherical Hecke algebra of G using the Satake…

We apply the crystal basis theory for Fock spaces over quantum affine algebras to the modular representations of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(p,p,n)$. This yields a classification of simple modules over these cyclotomic Hecke…
