This paper exposes the fundamental role that the Drinfel'd double $\dkg$ of the group ring of a finite group $G$ and its twists $\dbkg$, $\beta \in Z^3(G,\uk)$ as defined by Dijkgraaf--Pasquier--Roche play in stringy orbifold theories and…

We present a systematic study of nonlinear and higher derivatives extensions of electromagnetism. We clarify when action functionals S[F] can be explicitly obtained from arbitrary (not necessarily self-dual) nonlinear equations of motion.…

We introduce a unified framework for counting representations of knot groups into $SU(2)$ and $SL(2, \mathbb{R})$. For a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere, Lin and others showed that a Casson-style count of $SU(2)$ representations with fixed…

We construct a family of PBWD bases for the positive subalgebras of quantum loop algebras of type $B_n$ and $G_2$, as well as their Lusztig and RTT (for type $B_n$ only) integral forms, in the new Drinfeld realization. We also establish a…

We introduce super Yangian double $DY_\hbar[gl(m|n)]$ and its central extension $\widehat{DY_\hbar[gl(m|n)]}$. We give their defining relations in terms of current generators and obtain Drinfeld comultiplication.

We construct a family of PBWD bases for the positive subalgebras of quantum loop algebras of type $C_n$ and $D_n$, as well as their Lusztig and RTT integral forms, in the new Drinfeld realization. We also establish a shuffle algebra…

We study the quantum double of a finite abelian group $G$ twisted by a $3$-cocycle and give a sufficient condition when such a twisted quantum double will be gauge equivalent to a ordinary quantum double of a finite group. Moreover, we will…

We define new quantizations of the Heisenberg group by introducing new quantizations in the universal enveloping algebra of its Lie algebra. Matrix coefficients of the Stone--von Neumann representation are preserved by these new…

We show that complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups, satisfy a categorical version of the Baum-Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients. This approach, based on…

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

We study quantized enveloping algebras called twisted Yangians. They are analogues of the Yangian Y(gl(N)) for the classical Lie algebras of B, C, and D series. The twisted Yangians are subalgebras in Y(gl(N)) and coideals with respect to…

We construct and study a bicategory of super 2-line bundles over graded Lie groupoids, providing a unified framework for geometric models of twistings of (Real) K-theory. The core of our work is to exhibit a wide range of models from the…

We introduce and begin to study Lie theoretical analogs of symplectic reflection algebras for a finite cyclic group, which we call "cyclic double affine Lie algebra". We focus on type A : in the finite (resp. affine, double affine) case, we…

We explore geometries that give rise to a novel algebraic structure, the Exceptional Drinfeld Algebra, which has recently been proposed as an approach to study generalised U-dualities, similar to the non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie…

We classify the module categories over the double (possibly twisted) of a finite group.

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…

In this paper we study weighted versions of Fourier algebras of compact quantum groups. We focus on the spectral aspects of these Banach algebras in two different ways. We first investigate their Gelfand spectrum, which shows a connection…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

We compare the reduced Drinfeld doubles of the composition subalgebras of the category of representations of the Kronecker quiver $\overr{Q}$ and of the category of coherent sheaves on ${\mathbb P}^1$. Using this approach, we show that the…

We study representation theory of Drinfel'd twists, in terms of what we call F matrices, associated to finite dimensional irreducible modules of quantum affine algebras, and which factorize the corresponding (unitary) R matrices. We…
