We classify modular fusion categories up to braided equivalence with less than four distinct twists of simple objects by observing that under this assumption, for each positive integer $N$, there are finitely many modular fusion categories…

For a given quasitriangular Hopf algebra $\Ha$ we study relations between the braided group $\tilde \Ha^*$ and Drinfeld's twist. We show that the braided bialgebra structure of $\tilde \Ha^*$ is naturally described by means of twisted…

It is well known that central extensions of a group G correspond to 2-cocycles on G. Cocycles can be used to construct extensions of G-graded algebras via a version of the Drinfeld twist introduced by Majid. We show how 2-cocycles can be…

We use monoidal category methods to study the noncommutative geometry of nonassociative algebras obtained by a Drinfeld-type cochain twist. These are the so-called quasialgebras and include the octonions as braided-commutative but…

We discuss the proof of Kazhdan and Lusztig of the equivalence of the Drinfeld category D(g,h) of g-modules and the category of finite dimensional Uq(g)-modules, q=exp(\pi ih), for h\in C\Q*. Aiming at operator algebraists the result is…

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is sigma-unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK\crt(\R, B) = K\crt(B). United KK-theory contains real, complex, and self-conjugate…

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 introduce and study a $K$-theory of twisted bundles for associative algebras $A(\mathfrak g)$ of formal series with an infinite-Lie algebra coefficients over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by…

Using the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, we develop a K-theory formula for reduced C*-algebras of strongly $0$-$E$-unitary inverse semigroups, or equivalently, for certain reduced partial crossed products. In the case of…

We prove that if a finite tensor category $\C$ is symmetric, then the monoidal category of one-sided $\C$-bimodule categories is symmetric. Consequently, the Picard group of $\C$ (the subgroup of the Brauer-Picard group introduced by…

Inspired by Morse theory, we introduce a topological stack Broken, which we refer to as the moduli stack of broken lines. We show that Broken can be presented as a Lie groupoid with corners and provide a combinatorial description of sheaves…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra and let $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ denote the corresponding quantized enveloping algebra. In the present paper we show that quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras $B_{c,s}$ of…

We introduce the notion of `bar category' by which we mean a monoidal category equipped with additional structure formalising the notion of complex conjugation. Examples of our theory include bimodules over a $*$-algebra, modules over a…

This is the first part of a series of two papers aiming to construct a categorification of the braiding on tensor products of Verma modules, and in particular of the Lawrence--Krammer--Bigelow representations. \\ In this part, we categorify…

In this paper, we prove the category of finite length modules for the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orbifold $M(1)^+$ of the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra whose simple composition factors are $M(1)^\pm$ or $M(1,\lambda)$ for $\lambda \in…

We prove that the categories of weight modules over the simple $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ and $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal vertex operator algebras at fractional admissible levels and central charges are rigid (and hence the categories of weight…

We establish an equivalence between two approaches to quantization of irreducible symmetric spaces of compact type within the framework of quasi-coactions, one based on the Enriquez-Etingof cyclotomic Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations…

In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…

It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…

We use an idea of Rosenberg to prove a reconstruction theorem for abelian categories of alpha-twisted quasi-coherent sheaves on quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes X when alpha is in the Brauer group of X. By applying the work of…
