We give a pedagogical survey of those aspects of the abstract representation theory of quantum groups which are related to the Tannaka-Krein reconstruction problem. We show that every concrete semisimple tensor *-category with conjugates is…

Star products on the classical double group of a simple Lie group and on corresponding symplectic grupoids are given so that the quantum double and the "quantized tangent bundle" are obtained in the deformation description. "Complex"…

The category $\cal{C}$ (studied by Andersen-Jantzen-Soergel) of representations of a Lusztig's small quantum group at a root of unity, together with its modular structure, is defined geometrically, using configuration spaces.

Our first collection of results parametrize (filtered) actions of a quantum Borel $U_q(\mathfrak{b}) \subset U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ on the path algebra of an arbitrary (finite) quiver. When $q$ is a root of unity, we give necessary and…

We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture in this context.…

A diverse collection of fusion categories may be realized by the representation theory of quantum groups. There is substantial literature where one will find detailed constructions of quantum groups, and proofs of the…

In the paper \cite{BK} we defined categories of equivariant quantum $\mathcal{O}_q$-modules and $\mathcal{D}_q$-modules on the quantum flag variety of $G$. We proved that the Beilinson-Bernstein localization theorem holds at a generic $q$.…

Quantum spaces with $\frak{su}(2)$ noncommutativity can be modelled by using a family of $SO(3)$-equivariant differential $^*$-representations. The quantization maps are determined from the combination of the Wigner theorem for $SU(2)$ with…

Motivated by recent advances in the categorification of quantum groups at prime roots of unity, we develop a theory of 2-representations for 2-categories enriched with a p-differential which satisfy finiteness conditions analogous to those…

We study the unitarizability of premodular categories constructed from representations of quantum group at roots of unity. We introduce \emph{Grothendieck unitarizability} as a natural generalization of unitarizability to any class of…

In this paper we provide a general condition for the reducibility of the Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum representations of the mapping class groups. Namely, for any modular tensor category with a special symmetric Frobenius algebra with a…

Quantum contextuality, a fundamental feature distinguishing quantum theory from classical models, is investigated via algebraic and topological structures inherent in modular tensor categories. This work rigorously demonstrates that braid…

A modular fusion category C allows one to define projective representations of the mapping class groups of closed surfaces of any genus. We show that if all these representations are irreducible, then C has a unique Morita-class of simple…

For a semisimple Lie group $G$ satisfying the equal rank condition, the most basic family of unitary irreducible representations is the discrete series found by Harish-Chandra. In this paper, we study some of the branching laws for discrete…

Representations of Quantum Groups U_q (g_n), g_n any semi simple Lie algebra of rank n, are constructed from arbitrary representations of rank n-1 quantum groups for q a root of unity. Representations which have the maximal dimension and…

The lattice of subgroups of a group is the subject of numerous results revolving around the central theme of decomposing the group into "chunks" (subquotients) that can then be compared to one another in various ways. Examples of results in…

We construct a new class of finite-dimensional C^*-quantum groupoids at roots of unity q=e^{i\pi/\ell}, with limit the discrete dual of the classical SU(N) for large orders. The representation category of our groupoid turns out to be tensor…

For a root system R, a field K and a "choice of coefficients in K" we define a category of graded spaces with operators and study some of its properties. Then we assume that the coefficients are given by quantum binomials. We use basic…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra, $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ its quantum group, and $U_q(\mathfrak{k}) \subset U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ a quantum symmetric pair subalgebra determined by a Lie algebra automorphism $\theta$. We…

This paper is a continuation of [5]. Using the root categories, we define the compact real forms of the complex semisimple Lie algebras, and maximal compact subgroups of the Chevalley groups over $\mathbb{C}$. In [7], Lusztig used the…
