In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…
This article focuses on two related topics: unitary representations of the loop $ax+b$-group and their relation to a loop version of the $\Gamma$-function and the construction of continuous series for the…
Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation - an important equation in mathematics and physics - and their afforded braid group representations have applications in fields such as knot theory, statistical mechanics, and, most recently, quantum…
We show a necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of finite order entire solutions of linear differential equations $$ f^{(n)}+a_{n-1}f^{(n-1)}+\cdots+a_1f'+a_0f=0,\eqno(+) $$ where $a_i$ are exponential sums for…
We deduce Katz's theorems for $(A,B)$-exponential sums over finite fields using $\ell$-adic cohomology and a theorem of Denef-Loeser, removing the hypothesis that $A+B$ is relatively prime to the characteristic $p$. In some degenerate…
The Lie-Trotter formula $e^{\hat{A}+\hat{B}} = \lim_{N\to \infty} (e^{\hat{A}/N} e^{\hat{B}/N})^N$ is of great utility in a variety of quantum problems ranging from the theory of path integrals and Monte Carlo methods in theoretical…
For numerous applications of quantum theory it is desirable to be able to apply arbitrary unitary operations on a given quantum system. However, in particular situations only a subset of unitary operations is easily accessible. This raises…
We consider the quantum complexity of estimating matrix elements of unitary irreducible representations of groups. For several finite groups including the symmetric group, quantum Fourier transforms yield efficient solutions to this…
This is a short, self-contained expository survey, focused on algebraic and analytic aspects of quantum groups. Topics covered include the definition of ``quantum group,'' the Yang-Baxter equation, quantized universal enveloping algebras,…
It is known that local operators in quantum field theory transform in representations of ordinary global symmetry groups. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this statement to extended operators such as line and surface defects. We…
We give an efficient algorithm to evaluate a certain class of exponential sums, namely the periodic, quadratic, multivariate half Gauss sums. We show that these exponential sums become $\#\mathsf{P}$-hard to compute when we omit either the…
In this paper we describe connections among extraspecial 2-groups, unitary representations of the braid group and multi-qubit braiding quantum gates. We first construct new representations of extraspecial 2-groups. Extending the latter by…
When two operators $A$ and $B$ do not commute, the calculation of the exponential operator $e^{A+B}$ is a difficult and crucial problem. The applications are vast and diversified: to name but a few examples, quantum evolutions, product…
After discussing some basic facts about generalized module maps, we use the representation theory of the algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert B-module E to show that the quotient of the group of generalized unitaries on E and its…
We show a case of Zilber's Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, establishing that the conjecture holds for varieties which split as the product of a linear subspace of the additive group $\mathbb{C}^n$ and an algebraic subvariety of…
In this paper, we develop the PBW theory for the bosonic extension $\qbA{\g}$ of a quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q(\g)$ of \emph{any} finite type. When $\g$ belongs to the class of \emph{simply-laced type}, the algebra $\qbA{\g}$ arises from…
This paper extends two recent improvements in the Hilbert space setting of the well-known Katznelson-Tzafriri theorem by establishing both a version of the result valid for bounded representations of a large class of abelian semigroups and…
Compact matrix quantum groups are strongly determined by their intertwiner spaces, due to a result by S.L. Woronowicz. In the case of easy quantum groups, the intertwiner spaces are given by the combinatorics of partitions, see the inital…
For the quantum group $GL_{p,q}(2)$ and the corresponding quantum algebra $U_{p,q}(gl(2))$ Fronsdal and Galindo explicitly constructed the so-called universal $T$-matrix. In a previous paper we showed how this universal $T$-matrix can be…
We consider Aichinger's equation $$f(x_1+\cdots+x_{m+1})=\sum_{i=1}^{m+1}g_i(x_1,x_2,\cdots, \widehat{x_i},\cdots, x_{m+1})$$ for functions defined on commutative semigroups which take values on commutative groups. The solutions of this…
