Field-theoretic models for fields taking values in quantum groups are investigated. First we consider $SU_q(2)$ $\sigma$ model ($q$ real) expressed in terms of basic notions of noncommutative differential geometry. We discuss the case in…
We use group cohomology and the de Rham complex on simplicial manifolds to give explicit differential forms representing generators of the cohomology rings of moduli spaces of representations of fundamental groups of 2-manifolds. These…
Using the formalism of discrete quantum group gauge theory, one can construct the quantum algebras of observables for the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons model. The resulting moduli algebras provide quantizations of the algebra of functions on the…
The paper is devoted to integral quantization, a procedure based on operator-valued measure and resolution of the identity. We insist on covariance properties in the important case where group representation theory is involved. We also…
We formalize the quantum arithmetic, i.e. a relationship between number theory and operator algebras. Namely, it is proved that rational projective varieties are dual to the $C^*$-algebras with real multiplication. Our construction fits all…
For a quasi-split Satake diagram, we define a modified $q$-Weyl algebra, and show that there is an algebra homomorphism between it and the corresponding $\imath$quantum group. In other words, we provide a differential operator approach to…
This article surveys the application of the representation theory of loop groups to simple models in quantum field theory and to certain integrable systems. The common thread in the discussion is the construction of quantum fields using…
After recalling briefly some basic properties of the quantum group $GL_q(2)$, we study the quantum sphere $S_q^2$, quantum projective space $CP_q(N)$ and quantum Grassmannians as examples of complex (K\"{a}hler) quantum manifolds. The…
We introduce an infinite family of quiver representation-valued invariants of classical, virtual and surface-knots and links associated to a choice of finite biquandle, commutative unital ring, biquandle module and set of biquandle…
In our previous work, we studied the positive representations of split real quantum groups $\mathcal{U}_{q\tilde{q}}(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ restricted to its Borel part, and showed that they are closed under taking tensor products.…
We give a detailed account of the one-way quantum computer, a scheme of quantum computation that consists entirely of one-qubit measurements on a particular class of entangled states, the cluster states. We prove its universality, describe…
A complete list of Uq(sl2)-module algebra structures on the quantum plane is produced and the (uncountable family of) isomorphism classes of these structures are described. The composition series of representations in question are computed.…
The Verma modules over the quantum groups $\mathrm U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{l + 1})$ for arbitrary values of $l$ are analysed. The explicit expressions for the action of the generators on the elements of the natural basis are obtained. The…
We introduce and study a Schwarz space S in the space of functions on the real line. It is a module over the algebra L of regular functions on the (modular double of the) non-commutative q-deformation of the moduli space of configurations…
Group representations play a central role in theoretical physics. In particular, in quantum mechanics unitary --- or, in general, projective unitary --- representations implement the action of an abstract symmetry group on physical states…
We introduce a framework for $\mathbb{Z}$-gradings on cluster algebras (and their quantum analogues) that are compatible with mutation. To do this, one chooses the degrees of the (quantum) cluster variables in an initial seed subject to a…
Complex numbers appear in the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics, but not in the formulation in phase space. Quantum symmetries are described by complex, unitary or antiunitary operators defining ray representations in Hilbert…
We construct a quantization of the moduli space $\mathcal{GH}_\Lambda(S\times\mathbb{R})$ of maximal globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metrics on $S\times \mathbb{R}$ with constant sectional curvature $\Lambda$, for a punctured surface $S$.…
Let $\mathbb{X}_{\boldsymbol{p},\boldsymbol{\lambda}}$ be a weighted projective line. We define the quantum cluster algebra of $\mathbb{X}_{\boldsymbol{p},\boldsymbol{\lambda}}$ and realize its specialized version as the subquotient of the…
