Quantum groups emerged in the latter quarter of the 20th century as, on the one hand, a deep and natural generalisation of symmetry groups for certain integrable systems, and on the other as part of a generalisation of geometry itself…
The notion of quadratic maps between arbitrary groups appeared at several places in the literature on quadratic algebra. Here a unified extensive treatment of their properties is given; the relation with a relative version of Passi's…
The methods of Information geometry have been glowing up to develop various subjects of theoretical physics, including quantum information systems. The present article has two purposes. The first one is to develop general theory of…
In this article we will study semigroupoids, and more specifically inverse semigroupoids. These are a common generalization to both inverse semigroups and groupoids, and provide a natural language on which several types of dynamical…
This is a survey of some aspects of the large-scale geometry of right-angled Coxeter groups. The emphasis is on recent results on their negative curvature properties, boundaries, and their quasi-isometry and commensurability classification.
We examine, in a general setting, a notion of inverse semigroup of left quotients, which we call left I-quotients. This concept has appeared, and has been used, as far back as Clifford's seminal work describing bisimple inverse monoids in…
Quivers, gauge theories and singular geometries are of great interest in both mathematics and physics. In this note, we collect a few open questions which have arisen in various recent works at the intersection between gauge theories,…
We consider some simple examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems and explore their possible geometric interpretation with the help of geometric aspects of real Clifford algebras. This leads to natural extensions of the…
Quantum theory departs from classical probabilistic theories in foundational ways. These departures--termed quantumness here--power quantum information and computation. This thesis charts the role of discrete structures in assessing…
We show that it is possible to represent various descriptions of Quantum Mechanics in geometrical terms. In particular we start with the space of observables and use the momentum map associated with the unitary group to provide an unified…
Examples are presented for appearance of geometric symmetry in the shape of various astronomical objects and phenomena. Usage of these symmetries in astrophysical and extragalactic research is also discussed.
Symmetry is at the heart of much of mathematics, physics, and art. Traditional geometric symmetry groups are defined in terms of isometries of the ambient space of a shape or pattern. If we slightly generalize this notion to allow the…
Group theory involves the study of symmetry, and its inherent beauty gives it the potential to be one of the most accessible and enjoyable areas of mathematics, for students and non-mathematicians alike. Unfortunately, many students never…
We examine a few problems of enumerative geometry and present their solutions in the framework of deformed (quantum) cohomology rings.
In this article, part of the author's thesis, we propose a definition for measured quantum groupoid. The aim is the construction of objects with duality including both quantum groups and groupoids. We base ourselves on J. Kustermans and S.…
In this short note, based on the talk given at the 3rd Conference of the Polish Society on Relativity, I present the basic points of our recent paper "Symmetries of quantum spacetime in three dimensions", stressing their physical meaning,…
Quantum operators of coordinates and momentum components of a particle in Minkowski space-time belong to a noncommutative algebra and give rise to a quantum phase space. Under some constraints, in particular, the Lorentz invariance…
We present a simple geometric construction linking geometric to deformation quantization. Both theories depend on some apparently arbitrary parameters, most importantly a polarization and a symplectic connection, and for real polarizations…
The geometry of inverse semigroups is a natural topic of study, motivated both from within semigroup theory and by applications to the theory of non-commutative $C^*$-algebras. We study the relationship between the geometry of an inverse…
The use of geometric invariants has recently played an important role in the solution of classification problems in non-commutative ring theory. We construct geometric invariants of non-commutative projectivizations, a significant class of…
