This paper examines the relationship between certain non-commutative analogues of projective 3-space, $\mathbb{P}^3$, and the quantized enveloping algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. The relationship is mediated by certain non-commutative…
We study a class of noncommutative surfaces and their higher dimensional analogues which provide answers to several open questions in noncommutative projective geometry. Specifically, we give the first known graded algebras which are…
We introduce the notion of (nondegenerate) strong-modular fusion algebras. Here strongly-modular means that the fusion algebra is induced via Verlinde's formula by a representation of the modular group SL(2,Z) whose kernel contains a…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
Alain Connes' Non-Commutative Geometry program [Connes 1994] has been recently carried out [Prodan, Leung, Bellissard 2013, Prodan, Schulz-Baldes 2014] for the entire A- and AIII-symmetry classes of topological insulators, in the regime of…
Let $\widetilde{G}$ be the $n$-fold covering group of the special linear group of degree two, over a non-Archimedean local field. We determine the decomposition into irreducibles of the restriction of the principal series representations of…
The l-adic parabolic cohomology groups attached to noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) are finite-dimensional representations of Gal(Qbar/F) for some number field F. We exhibit examples (with F=Q) giving rise to Galois representations whose…
We give new examples of weight three cusp forms on noncongruence subgroups of SL(2, Z) whose Scholl representation is modular and which satisfy three term Atkin-Swinnerton-Dyer relations.
We propose to construct the finite modular groups from the quotient of two principal congruence subgroups as $\Gamma(N')/\Gamma(N")$, and the modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ is extended to a principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(N')$. The…
By considering appropriate finite covering spaces of closed non-orientable surfaces, we construct linear representations of their mapping class group which have finite index image in certain big arithmetic groups.
We examine several algebraic properties of the noncommutive $z$-plane and Riemann surfaces. The starting point of our investigation is a two-dimensional noncommutative field theory, and the framework of the theory will be converted into…
We investigate the finite-dimensional representation theory of two-parameter quantum orthogonal and symplectic groups that we found in [BGH] under the assumption that $rs^{-1}$ is not a root of unity and extend some results [BW1, BW2]…
This paper is concerned with the study of the geometry of determinant line bundles associated to families of spectral triples parametrized by the moduli space of gauge equivalent classes of Hermitian connections on a Hermitian finite…
Quantum groups and quantum homogeneous spaces - developed by several authors since the 80's - provide a large class of examples of algebras which for many reasons we interpret as `coordinate algebras' over noncommutative spaces. This…
We analyze the decomposition of tensor products between infinite dimensional (unitary) and finite-dimensional (non-unitary) representations of SL(2,R). Using classical results on indefinite inner product spaces, we derive explicit…
We revisit the representation theory of the quantum double of the universal cover of the Lorentz group in 2+1 dimensions, motivated by its role as a deformed Poincar\'e symmetry and symmetry algebra in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. We…
We study the restriction to the symmetric group, $\mc{S}_n$ of the adjoint representation of $\mt{GL}_n(\C)$. We determine the irreducible constituents of the space of symmetric as well as the space of skew-symmetric $n\times n$ matrices as…
We construct quantum evolution operators on the space of states, that is represented by the vertices of the n-dimensional unit hypercube. They realize the metaplectic representation of the modular group SL(2,Z(2^n)). By construction this…
We construct various kinds of gauged noncommutative WZW models. In particular, axial gauged noncommutative U(2)/U(1) WZW model is studied and by integrating out the gauge fields, we obtain a noncommutative non-linear $\sigma$-model.
A generalization of the Coulomb Gas model with modular SL(2, Z)-symmetry allows for a discrete infinity of phases which are characterized by the condensation of dyonic pseudoparticles and the breaking of parity and time reversal. Here we…
