Discrete quantum groups were introduced as duals of compact quantum groups by Podle\'s and Woronowicz in 1990. They have been studied intrinsically by Effros and Ruan (1994) and by the author (1996). In a more recent note (2025), we have…

We show that $h$-deformation can be obtained, by a singular limit of a similarity transformation, from $q$-deformation; to be specefic, we obtain $\GL_h(2)$, its differential structure, its inhomogenous extension, and $\Uh{\sl(2)}$ from…

We consider the conditions under which the $q$-oscillator algebra becomes a Hopf $*$-algebra. In particular, we show that there are at least two real forms associated with the algebra. Furthermore, through the representations, it is shown…

In this talk, we elaborate on the operation of graph contraction introduced by Gurau in his study of the Schwinger-Dyson equations. After a brief review of colored tensor models, we identify the Lie algebra appearing in the Schwinger-Dyson…

We prove a number of results concerning monomorphisms, epimorphisms, dominions and codominions in categories of coalgebras. Examples include: (a) representation-theoretic characterizations of monomorphisms in all of these categories that…

We review the formulation and proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture for the dual of the quantum group $ SU_q(2) $ of Woronowicz. As an illustration of this result we determine the $ K $-groups of quantum automorphism groups of simple matrix…

Using duality and topological theory of well behaved Hopf algebras (as defined in [2]) we construct star-product models of non compact quantum groups from Drinfeld and Reshetikhin standard deformations of enveloping Hopf algebras of simple…

We describe Laplacian operators on the quantum group SUq (2) equipped with the four dimensional bicovariant differential calculus of Woronowicz as well as on the quantum homogeneous space S2q with the restricted left covariant three…

A strict 2-group is a 2-category with one object in which all morphisms and all 2-morphisms have inverses. 2-Groups have been studied in the context of homotopy theory, higher gauge theory and Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT). In the…

By using the notion of contraction of Lie groups, we transfer $L^p-L^2$ estimates for joint spectral projectors from the unit complex sphere $\sfera$ in ${{\mathbb{C}}}^{n+1}$ to the reduced Heisenberg group $h^{n}$. In particular, we…

In this series of papers, we develop the theory of a class of locally compact quantum groupoids, which is motivated by the purely algebraic notion of weak multiplier Hopf algebras. In this Part I, we provide motivation and formulate the…

An Introduction to Hopf algebras as a tool for the regularization of relavent quantities in quantum field theory is given. We deform algebraic spaces by introducing q as a regulator of a non-commutative and non-cocommutative Hopf algebra.…

We consider a special category of Hopf algebras, depending on parameters $\Sigma$ which possess properties similar to the category of representations of simple Lie group with highest weight $\lambda$. We connect quantum groups to minimal…

In a previous paper, we proposed a construction of $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group symmetry generators for 2d gravity, where we took the chiral vertex operators of the theory to be the quantum group covariant ones established in earlier works.…

The quantum algebra suq(2) is introduced as a deformation of the ordinary Lie algebra su(2). This is achieved in a simple way by making use of $q$-bosons. In connection with the quantum algebra suq(2), we discuss the q-analogues of the…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with additive reduction. In this paper, we study the topological group structure of the set of points of good reduction of $E(K)$. In…

In this paper we construct the Differential calculus on the Hopf Group Coalgebra introduced by Turaev [10]. We proved that the concepts introduced by S.L.Woronowicz in constructing Differential calculus on Hopf Compact Matrix Pseudogroups…

Quotient quiver subtraction is a simple combinatorial prescription for gauging Coulomb branch isometry subgroups of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. This paper uses Type IIB brane constructions with $\mathrm{O5}$ planes to extend…

The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…
