Abstract

Let Σg,n\Sigma_{g,n} be a compact oriented surface of genus gg with nn open disks removed. The algebra Lg,n(H)\mathcal{L}_{g,n}(H) was introduced by Alekseev-Grosse-Schomerus and Buffenoir-Roche and is a combinatorial quantization of the moduli space of flat connections on Σg,n\Sigma_{g,n}. Here we focus on the two building blocks L0,1(H)\mathcal{L}_{0,1}(H) and L1,0(H)\mathcal{L}_{1,0}(H) under the assumption that the gauge Hopf algebra HH is finite-dimensional, factorizable and ribbon, but not necessarily semisimple. We construct a projective representation of SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}), the mapping class group of the torus, based on L1,0(H)\mathcal{L}_{1,0}(H) and we study it explicitly for H=Uq(sl(2))H = \overline{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2)). We also show that it is equivalent to the representation constructed by Lyubashenko and Majid.
