Duality groups of Abelian gauge theories on four manifolds and their reduction to two dimensions are considered. The duality groups include elements that relate different space-times in addition to relating different gauge-coupling…
We give a general definition of classical and quantum groups whose representation theory is "determined by partitions" and study their structure. This encompasses many examples of classical groups for which Schur-Weyl duality is described…
We investigate the theory of induction in the setting of doubles of coideal $*$-subalgebras of compact quantum group Hopf $*$-algebras. We then exemplify parts of this theory in the particular case of quantum $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, and compute…
The nonsemisimple quantum Cayley-Klein groups $ Fun(SU_{q}(2;\bf j}) $ are realized as Hopf algebra of the noncommutative functions with the dual (or Study) variables. The {\it dual} quantum algebras $ su_q(2;{\bf j}) $ are constructed and…
We propose a new realization of the elliptic quantum group equipped with the H-Hopf algebroid structure on the basis of the elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2). The algebra U_{q,p}(\hat{sl}_2) has a constructive definition in terms of the…
We put forward and prove a simple theorem stating that the eigenvalues of a tridiagonal matrix change their sign (as a set), once the signs of the diagonal elements of the matrix are changed. We also provide an example of application of…
In this paper the authors introduce a new notion called the quantum wreath product, which is the algebra $B \wr_Q \mathcal{H}(d)$ produced from a given algebra $B$, a positive integer $d$, and a choice $Q=(R,S,\rho,\sigma)$ of parameters.…
Duality symmetries of supergravity theories are powerful tools to restrict the number of possible actions, to link different dimensions and number of supersymmetries and might help to control quantisation. (Hodge-Dirac-)Dualisation of gauge…
We study generalized electric/magnetic duality in Abelian gauge theory by combining techniques from locally covariant quantum field theory and Cheeger-Simons differential cohomology on the category of globally hyperbolic Lorentzian…
We investigate self-dualities in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories. The electric and magnetic theories share the same gauge group. The examples include $SU(2N)$, $SO(7)$ and $SO(8)$ with various matter…
We consider duality transformations in N=2 Yang--Mills theory coupled to N=2 supergravity, in a manifestly symplectic and coordinate covariant setting. We give the essential of the geometrical framework which allows one to discuss stringy…
We find a self-dual noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebra acting as a universal symmetry on the modules over inner Frobenius algebras of modular categories (as used in two dimensional boundary conformal field theory) similar to…
We give a $q$-analogue of Howe duality associated to a pair $(\mf{g},G)$, where $\mf{g}$ is an orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra and $G=O_\ell, Sp_{2\ell}$. We define explicitly {commuting actions} of a quantized enveloping algebra of…
The Howe duality between quantum general linear supergroups was firstly established by Y. Zhang via quantum coordinate superalgebras. In this paper, we provide two other approaches to this Howe duality. One is constructed by quantum…
For nonlinear models of an Abelian vector supermultiplet coupled to N = 2 supergravity in four dimensions, we formulate the self-duality equation which expresses invariance under U(1) duality rotations. In the flat space limit, this…
We find and classify all bialgebras and Hopf algebras or `quantum groups' of dimension $\le 4$ over the field $\Bbb F_2=\{0,1\}$. We summarise our results as a quiver, where the vertices are the inequivalent algebras and there is an arrow…
The quantum discrete Liouville model in the strongly coupled regime, 1<c<25, is formulated as a well defined quantum mechanical problem with unitary evolution operator. The theory is self-dual: there are two exponential fields related by…
In this paper we describe the effect on quantum groups -- namely, both QUEA's and QFSHA's -- of deformations by twist and by 2-cocycles, showing how such deformations affect the semiclassical limit. As a second, more important task, we…
Global quantization of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups is introduced relying on the representation theory of the group rather than on expressions in local coordinates. Operators on the 3-dimensional sphere and on group…
We propose an extension of the Yang-Mills paradigm from Lie algebras to internal chiral superalgebras. We replace the Lie algebra-valued connection one-form $A$, by a superalgebra-valued polyform $\widetilde{A}$ mixing exterior-forms of all…
