We classify nef vector bundles on a smooth hyperquadric of dimension three with first Chern class two over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we see that they are globally generated.
Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…
In this expository paper, we discuss and compare the notions of braided and coboundary monoidal categories. Coboundary monoidal categories are analogues of braided monoidal categories in which the role of the braid group is replaced by the…
We introduce a diagrammatic braided monoidal category, the quantum spin Brauer category, together with a full functor to the category of finite-dimensional, type $1$ modules for $U_q(\mathfrak{so}(N))$ or $U_q(\mathfrak{o}(N))$. This…
We develop a general framework for the quantization of bosonic and fermionic field theories on affine bundles over arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes. All concepts and results are formulated using the language of category theory,…
Quantum matrices $A(R)$ are known for every $R$ matrix obeying the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equations. It is also known that these act on `vectors' given by the corresponding Zamalodchikov algebra. We develop this interpretation in detail,…
Manifolds with fibered corners arise as resolutions of stratified spaces, in many body compactifications of vector spaces, moduli spaces, and other settings. We define a category of fibered corners manifolds which has products and…
We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…
We construct a braided structure on the algebra of K\"ahler differential forms of a commutative algebra twisted by an endomorphism. This generalises the construction done in M. Karoubi, Quantum Methods in Algebraic Topology, see…
We show that two constructions yield equivalent braided monoidal categories. The first is topological, based on Legendrian tangles and skein relations, while the second is algebraic, in terms of chain complexes with complete flag and…
We show there exists a rigid monoidal category formed out by quantum linear spaces with an additional structure, such that FRT bialgebras and corresponding rectangular generalizations are its internal coEnd and coHom objects, respectively.…
Recent work suggests that topological features of certain quantum gravity theories can be interpreted as particles, matching the known fermions and bosons of the first generation in the Standard Model. This is achieved by identifying…
This expository article supplies the mathematical background underpinning the braid representation calculator introduced in arXiv:2212.00831; those representations describe the sets of logic gates available to a topological quantum computer…
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite…
We consider two families of categories. The first is the family of semisimple quotients of H. Andersen's tilting module categories for quantum groups of Lie type $B$ specialized at odd roots of unity. The second consists of categories…
$*$-structures on quantum and braided spaces of the type defined via an R-matrix are studied. These include $q$-Minkowski and $q$-Euclidean spaces as additive braided groups. The duality between the $*$-braided groups of vectors and…
We investigate invertible elements and gradings in braided tensor categories. This leads us to the definition of theta-, product-, subgrading and orbitcategories in order to construct new families of BTC's from given ones. We use the…
We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give…
We study the problem of when a topological vector bundle on a smooth complex affine variety admits an algebraic structure. We prove that all rank $2$ topological complex vector bundles on smooth affine quadrics of dimension $11$ over the…
We introduce the notion of locally trivial quantum principal bundles. The base space and total space are compact quantum spaces (unital $C^{\star}$-algebras), the structure group is a compact matrix quantum group. We prove that a quantum…
