We study an analogue of the analytic torsion for elliptic complexes that are graded by $\mathbb{Z}_2$, orignally constructed by Mathai and Wu. Motivated by topological T-duality, Bouwknegt an Mathai study the complex of forms on an…
In this paper, we present a unified framework for studying cohomology theories of various operators in the context of pseudoalgebras. The central tool in our approach is the notion of a quasi-twilled Lie pseudoalgebra. We introduce two…
Sufficient conditions for an invertible two-tensor $F$ to relate two solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation via the transformation $R\to F^{-1}_{21} R F$ are formulated. Those conditions include relations arising from twisting of certain…
The BRST cohomology of the N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is discussed by making use of the twisted version of the N=2 algebra. By the introduction of a set of suitable constant ghosts associated to the generators…

The Drinfeld double of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra is a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra with the canonical element as the universal $R$-matrix, and one can obtain a ribbon Hopf algebra by adding the ribbon element. The universal quantum…

This paper is a continuation of math.QA/9907181 and math.QA/9908115. We consider traces of intertwiners between certain representations of the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a semisimple complex Lie algebra g, which are twisted…
We introduce the notion of Drinfeld twists for both set-theoretical YBE solutions and skew braces. We give examples of such twists and show that all twists between skew braces come from families of isomorphisms between their additive…
The construction of link polynomials associated with finite dimensional representations of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras is discussed in terms of the formulation of an appropriate Markov trace. We then show that this Markov trace is invariant…
In this paper we study the properties of Drinfeld's twisting for finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. We determine how the integral of the dual to a unimodular Hopf algebra $H$ changes under twisting of $H$. We show that the classes of…
We define Drinfeld orbifold algebras as filtered algebras deforming the skew group algebra (semi-direct product) arising from the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring. They simultaneously generalize Weyl algebras, graded (or…

In this paper, we first define twisted Rota-Baxter family operators on Hom-associative algebras indexed by a semigroup $\Omega$. Then we introduce and study Hom-NS-family algebras as the underlying structures of twisted Rota-Baxter family…
A dynamical system is canonically associated to every Drinfeld double of any affine Kac-Moody group. The choice of the affine Lu-Weinstein-Soibelman double gives a smooth one-parameter deformation of the standard WZW model. In particular,…
We apply categorical machinery to the problem of defining anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules for quasi-Hopf algebras. While a definition of Yetter-Drinfeld modules in this setting, extracted from their categorical interpretation as the center of…

In 1997 we proved that any triangular semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0 is obtained from the group algebra k[G] of a finite group G, by twisting its comultiplication by a twist in the sense of…
We introduce the notion of iHopf algebra, a new associative algebra structure defined on a Hopf algebra equipped with a Hopf pairing. The iHopf algebra on a Borel quantum group endowed with a $\tau$-twisted Hopf pairing is shown to be a…
