A quantum groups of type $A$ is defined in terms of a Hecke symmetry. We show in this paper that the representation category of such a quantum group is uniquely determined as an abelian braided monoidal category by the bi-rank of the Hecke…

These lectures given in Montreal in Summer 1997 are mainly based on, and form a condensed survey of, the book by N. Chriss and V. Ginzburg: `Representation Theory and Complex Geometry', Birkhauser 1997. Various algebras arising naturally in…

We give a pedagogical survey of those aspects of the abstract representation theory of quantum groups which are related to the Tannaka-Krein reconstruction problem. We show that every concrete semisimple tensor *-category with conjugates is…

Let G be a reductive group over a non-archimedean local field F. Consider an arbitrary Bernstein block Rep(G)^s in the category of complex smooth G-representations. In earlier work the author showed that there exists an affine Hecke algebra…

For a Hecke operator $R$, one defines the matrix bialgebra $\E_R$, which is considered as the function algebra on the quantum space of endomorphisms of the quantum space associated to $R$. One generalizes this notion, defining the function…

We classify the cosemisimple Hopf algebras whose corepresentation semi-ring is isomorphic to that of GL(2). This leads us to define a new family of Hopf algebras which generalize the quantum similitude group of a non-degenerate bilinear…

We introduce and study the Koszul complex for a Hecke $R$-matrix. Its cohomologies, called the Berezinian, are used to define quantum superdeterminant for a Hecke $R$-matrix. Their behaviour with respect to Hecke sum of $R$-matrices is…

The principles of the theory of quantum groups are reviewed from the point of view of the possibility of their use for deformations of symmetries in physical models. The R-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is discussed in…

These notes are based on a course given at the EPFL in May 2005. It is concerned with the representation theory of Hecke algebras in the non-semisimple case. We explain the role that these algebras play in the modular representation theory…

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…

Following the ideas in~\cite{yM88} and some inspiration from~\cite{KO24}, we construct a bialgebra $T_q(n)$ and a pointed Hopf algebra $UT_q(n)$ which quantize the coordinate rings of the algebra of upper triangular matrices and of the…

The elements of the wide class of quantum universal enveloping algebras are prooved to be Hopf algebras $H$ with spectrum $Q(H)$ in the category of groups. Such quantum algebras are quantum groups for simply connected solvable Lie groups…

We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…

Compact matrix quantum groups are strongly determined by their intertwiner spaces, due to a result by S.L. Woronowicz. In the case of easy quantum groups, the intertwiner spaces are given by the combinatorics of partitions, see the inital…

Let $U_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$ denote the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group associated to a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We apply a modification of the $R$-matrix construction for quantum groups to the evaluation of the universal…

A universal R--matrix for the quantum Heisenberg algebra h(1)q is presented. Despite of the non--quasitriangularity of this Hopf algebra, the quantum group induced from it coincides with the quasitriangular deformation already known.

We present a construction of integrable hierarchies without or with boundary, starting from a single R-matrix, or equivalently from a ZF algebra. We give explicit expressions for the Hamiltonians and the integrals of motion of the hierarchy…

Let $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ denote the rational form of the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Let $\lambda$ be a nonzero dominant integral weight of $\mathfrak{g}$, and let $V$ be the…

In a recent article, we gave a definition of partition C*-algebras. These are universal C*-algebras based on algebraic relations which are induced from partitions of sets. In this follow up article, we show that often we can associate a…

We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…
